Aerial Attack

When you think of Africa, you might typically think of the big predators as being the Lion, Leopard, Cheetah and Hyena. What you might not expect to experience would be a ferocious attack from above by a Martial Eagle swooping down and latching onto a baby gazelle being valiantly defended by the mother to no avail:(

The below series of images depicts this precise scene as it occurred on the vast plains of the Maasai Mara in Kenya Africa, and although I felt sad for this baby gazelle and especially for the mom, the saga of predator and prey is a continuing storyboard of which has played out countless times throughout our history, and represents the circle of life of which we all play a role.
