lioness is hunting
lioness is prowling
prowling at midnight
prowling for prey
prey, unaware.
prey is now on the run
run, Impala, run
run for your life
life is on the line
life is in grave danger
danger in the wilderness
danger is very real
real as can be
real and deadly
deadly predator
deadly precision
precision pounce
precision, absolute.
absolute hunter
absolute stealth
stealth assassin
stealth undetected
undetected in the tall grass
undetected big cat
cat, undomesticated.
cat of the wild
wild nature
wild animal
animal on the menu
animal targeted
targeted not for sport
targeted for food
food for predator, scarce;
food needed for survival
survival is key in The Serengeti
survival of the fittest
fittest apex predator
fittest of them all
all nighter lioness
all powerful
powerful talons
powerful jaws
jaws that crush windpipes
jaws of death
death by ambush
death of Impala prey
prey caught unaware
prey never stood a chance
chance
unaware
