Finnegan described the sighting as incredible hunting tactics, saying every move was steady.
“It was incredible to see the lions’ hunting tactics. The younger female started to make her way around to position herself behind the incoming warthog. Every move was steady and she kept glancing back at the older female, almost for approval of her approach,” said Finnegan.
“We could not believe what we had just witnessed. The lions quickly dispatched the warthog and the air filled with the smell of its now-exposed intestines.
“The two females made quick work of their fresh meal. This is truly an encounter I will never forget and feel so grateful to have witnessed.”
