Striking photographs shows a baby monkey desperately clinging onto the body of its mother, which dangles from between the jaws of a lion.

A second lion attempts to claim a share of the male lion's catch, causing the helpless baby monkey to fall from the body of its mother.

The baby monkey is seen scooped up as an easy snack by a younger member of the pride of lions and killed.


The brutal reality of nature was captured at South Africa's Zimanga Private Game Reserve as the mother and baby monkey were devoured in less than a minute.

Sad indeed

chaiii......Very wicked lion. as wicked as one tall lanky man who loves travelling very well....


But they say "before you see monkey, mokey don see you"........How come mama nor see lion, pikin no see lion. I thought monkeys are very clever!!

RIP mama monkey.....Me and Lalasticlala promise to get across to the baby you left behind and take her to an orphanage home....surely

Poor baby monkey..

The saddest part is that the helpless baby monkey was eventually eaten.

One of those moments when you (as human) step aside and allow nature take its course.
( As there’s little or nothing you can do about the situation)

Even for animals, life no balance. Tragic!

Eat or be Eaten, that's what the jungle is all about.

Eyah

The Lion's wish got granted while the wish of the monkey to stay alive wasn't.

When we merry or joyous, some are hungry or sad. Thats life.

A time to live and a time to die.

..

Nigeria is facing similar situation.

Survival of the fittest.

Gosh! Only if the monkey could fight back. This life is not fair.

It is a sad reality of life. For every meat you eat, it is always joy for the eater, but pain and grief for the eaten and the family of the eaten. We eat chicken, goat meat, beef and whatever meat available on the face of the earth, I have seen a cow crying, some years back while being killed , though very emotional, most times we don't care because the world is a wild place where only the strongest survive by eating the lesser. My advice and practice in life is to kill only what I will eat to survive, don't kill and throw away except it is a serpent. Don't kill what u won't eat and will not harm u if allowed to live.

To exist is to consume. Is life fair to the plants & animals you have also consumed, did they consent to being harvested/killed/eaten by you? This world follows a template, fair isn't one of its attributes.

They nor even fit spare the baby monkey, those Agbaya lions

The gbege for jungle eh na D.I.E

Now there is a mudafucker like me. Real and raw, logically precise.

The world ain't fair and justice is a myth. Take your share and be content with it.

I hate monkeys, the lion is cool.good catch.

Why not stay in the tree

You have a point.

Adults were taking on the adult and ignored the baby.
Then, a baby took on the baby.
..
That's what life is.
Don't ever feel so safe near dangerous situations, it may soon affect you.

She only get to play her role in the ecosystem

Where is rithousness22
What do u have to say about this

It's finished... So sad

WoundedLamb:
Sad indeed

that's the jungle for you and life in general.

Take Nigeria as a case study. The politicians are the mature lions and you can now guess who the monkeys are.

there is a secret message coded in everything

Merciless mother nature does not favour the weak.

Without which there will be chaos.

The monkey must die in order to prevent ecosystem chaos.
