Possible predator / prey scene

  • computerji by computerji

    The wildebeest in the middle runs and then falls while two others look on. I cannot see if there is a predator giving chase and, perhaps, sweeping the wildebeest's hind legs out from under it. Any opinions?

    I see a lot of wildebeest (this season and the past 3) that lie down. I think it's just in the process of lying down. Pretty sure that if there was a lion or other predator there...there would be a scattering of the other wildebeest. The one to the right? Not flinching.

    Could be the case ajg. What got me wondering was the speed it seems to be moving at, and the somewhat unusual (though not unheard of) place it ends up "crashing" - in the middle rather than under a tree or in a clump of fellow wildebeest.
