[Vianet] This is crazy.

They're trying to snatch the lechwe from the crocodile.

The crocodile's pulling back, they're pulling as well.

This is a battle.

[Narrator] Tsebe the lioness has been struggling for food.

[Vianet] She's always going to be hungry because the amount of milk, that rich milk she's producing for those five clubs, is immense.

So she is on constant lookout for a meal.

Oh, alarm calling.

Lions on the move.

That's Tsebe and one of the girls.

Oh, they're moving quite fast.

These lionesses, they're tuned in to cues that we're not aware of.

Oh, hang on, I can see.

There's a lechwe struggling in the water.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

Did you see that?

There's a crocodile.

This is crazy.

They're trying to snatch the lechwe from the crocodile.

The crocodile's pulling back, they're pulling as well.

This is a battle.

This could be dangerous for them.

That is a Nile crocodile.

That could pull a lion in that water and kill it.

What a scene.

Oh, geez.

They've got it.

I mean, this is one of the most craziest thing I've ever witnessed.

Seeing Tsebe bolting into that water, snatching a meal from a crocodile.

This is certainly a very substantial amount of meat.

A lioness would need around about 35kg per week.

And when they're suckling cubs, it's even more.

And now she's able to produce the super-high-energy milk to keep her cubs going.

Tsebe has been so, so desperate for food.

Times like this, you realise why the Xudum pride's numbers are growing.

It is because how dedicated these mothers are.

They have adapted to this scavengers mode and that's a survival skill.

This - happy days.
