A lioness swipes at an eager crocodile trying to fend it off as it tries to take back his well-earned meal. The close encounter was witnessed by Photography Safari Leader Ernest Porter, 32, in the Okavango Delta, Botswana.
He said, “This was one of the most amazing interactions I have witnessed to date, It is really rare to see two iconic African predators interact and compete for food like this, not to mention all the risk the lions took with eating in crocodile infested water. I noticed a big brown shape floating down the river. I used my binoculars and saw it was a fully intact dead female hippo floating with a big crocodile following the carcass. I saw a pride of lions that also noticed this free meal and based on their behaviour of intercepting the floating hippo I knew this was going to be one fantastic sighting."
"The lions didn’t hesitate to get into the crocodile infested water once the carcass got to a stop on the edge of the river. It was so amazing to see some of the lions climbing on top of the hippo to avoid the water as much as possible but staying on top was challenging as the hippo easily rotates and results in the lion falling into the water. The lions were able to drag the hippo carcass out of the river onto the riverbank. Up until now the lions managed to chase all the crocodiles away but now we noticed one desperate crocodile that was willing to challenge the lions for the carcass on land. The lions smacked the crocodile multiple times with their sharp claw but this crocodile must have been very hungry and desperate because he just wouldn’t give way."
"Eventually the lions gave up and watched the crocodile eating a part of their carcass, but this wasn’t too much of a problem because by then all the lions bellies were stuffed"

Static buildup: Hull's caravan makers enjoy a British holiday boom
Hull has a strong claim to being the centre of the UK mobile home industry, but while the pandemic boosted sales, there are now fears of a glut.
The pandemic pushed numbers of static caravans to record levels, according to market researcher Mintel. Britons took 3.7m caravan holidays in 2019, but that rose to 4.3m in 2022. Mintel data suggests almost a quarter of the UK's adult population has been on a caravan holiday.
Willerby's home city of Hull has a good claim to being the UK’s caravan capital.
Willerby started out making beehives, but after the second world war, its founder switched to touring caravans to be towed behind cars and then the statics that now fill caravan parks. Its factory - taken over from a typewriter company - sits by Hull's port, whose shipbuilding history and good access to timber imports probably helped it become a caravan hub.
A construction line at holiday home maker Willerby’s factory in Hull, where the 75 year old company is looking to recruit 100 new employees and add an extra production line to meet increased demand for capacity as Britons opt for staycation holidays following the pandemic.

Static buildup: Hull's caravan makers enjoy a British holiday boom
Hull has a strong claim to being the centre of the UK mobile home industry, but while the pandemic boosted sales, there are now fears of a glut.
The pandemic pushed numbers of static caravans to record levels, according to market researcher Mintel. Britons took 3.7m caravan holidays in 2019, but that rose to 4.3m in 2022. Mintel data suggests almost a quarter of the UK's adult population has been on a caravan holiday.
Willerby's home city of Hull has a good claim to being the UK’s caravan capital.
Willerby started out making beehives, but after the second world war, its founder switched to touring caravans to be towed behind cars and then the statics that now fill caravan parks. Its factory - taken over from a typewriter company - sits by Hull's port, whose shipbuilding history and good access to timber imports probably helped it become a caravan hub.
