            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
