When you’re a hungry lion, most animals probably seem like a good bet at snack time.
But this lion certainly bit off more than it could chew when it pounced on a pangolin.
British wildlife guide Mark Sheridan-Johnson captured on film this inquisitive big cat which spent a long time trying to devour the odd looking creature in the Selous Game Reserve in Tanzania.
The rare, armour plated pangolin had the perfect defence tactic:roll up into a ball and stay there - whatever happens.
This looks like a tasty morsel…hmm, it’s a bit crunchy…the lion begins its attempt to feast on the pangolin
Maybe if I use my claws I can get the shell off…wow this thing is tough…nope, maybe it’s time to try a different tactic
Hello, is there anyone in there? OK, this is your last chance..come out with your hands up or, or…I’ll just have to leave you alone and find something else to gnaw on
