"The baby elephant did so well! Always keeping an eye on what's behind," a social media user said.
A video depicting a group of lions seizing the opportunity to hunt a young elephant has gone viral on social media. The footage was filmed in South Africa's Kruger National Park and was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Latest Sightings.' The clip was originally captured by Brent Schnupp and was shared on September 26. Since being shared, it has amassed 2.2 million views and has been liked over 1,000 times.
The opening scene of the video shows a baby elephant looking for its mother, with three lions closely trailing its every step. At one point, the baby elephant even changes course, causing the lions to react nervously. However, the calf ultimately manages to elude the big cats.
