Day of the Serengeti Predators

A monitor lizard waiting for a meal of insects or small fish.  As we were watching, a huge catfish plopped out of the water right in front of the lizard.  It took us all by surprise, including the lizard.  The lizard went after the huge catfish, but it was no match as the catfish wiggled its way back into the water.

As we were driving by this tree, our guide suddenly stopped and pointed out this leopard in the tree above.  There was a dead impala wedged in the branches.  Our guide seemed to think this leopard was taking advantage of an unattended kill by another leopard.

A group of three lionesses (out of six total) starting their way towards a herd of impala and waterbuck at sunset.

The lionesses began to spread out and slowly make their way towards the prey.

An amazing sunset on the Serengeti plains after an incredible day of seeing many different predators in their natural habitat.
