During a safari in Botswana’s Moremi Game Reserve, a dramatic encounter took place between a lioness and a pack of wild dogs. The dogs, when in large numbers, become extremely fearsome and are not afraid to confront larger animals like lions.

An eyewitness recounted: “We spent half an hour watching a lioness and her cub, then left to look for the pack of wild dogs. When we returned to the area, we heard news of a pack of dogs chasing antelope. When we arrived, we found the pack of dogs approaching the lioness and her cub and threatening them.”

The narrator could not hide his anxiety: “I was speechless and worried for the mother and her cub. According to the guide, all of the previous cubs of this lioness had died. The dogs tried to attack repeatedly but then gave up and left. The lioness and her cub were safe.”

The next day, they saw the dogs again, but this time, one of them was injured and limping.
