- [Narrator] In the heat of the midday sun,
the bush is quiet.
A herd of giraffe heads down to the river to drink.
Legs spread wide, they're at their most vulnerable.
But they know that the lions will be asleep.
(animals calling)
Other animals take advantage of the lion's slumber
and get a little rest of their own.
(soft music)
But one predator is still hunting.
Kamuti's hunger drives her on.
This is her favorite hunting spot.
A dried-up river in the heart of her territory.
It runs through a clearing full of puku and impala.
Down in the gully she's hidden from view,
even in broad daylight.
She'll only strike when prey come close to the gully's edge.
While she watches and waits
the hunter becomes the hunted.
A lioness from the Nsefu pride is on her trail.
(somber music)
Kamuti is unaware of the danger she's in.
The lioness's gait intensifies.
Her top speed is 36 miles an hour.
Almost as fast as Kamuti's.
(dramatic music)
The lioness stands guard,
confident she has Kamuti trapped.
But Kamuti is wily and sneaks off unnoticed.
Once again, she must hide until darkness returns.
