| Lions of darkness | |
| 1994 National Geographic (186): 35-53 | |
Terror is more often heard than seen in the African night. But patience and skill have enabled Beverly and Dereck Joubert to capture remarkable images of lions hunting in the dark in Botswana. Some are shocking - a lioness sinks her teeth into a petrified young elephant. Or surreal, like a maelstrom of doves at a dwindling water hole shared tensely by elephants and hungry lions. These particular cats attack very large prey, leading to con frontations compelling to the ear, and to the eye. |
