The mother Thomson's gazelle can only watch as the vultures consume her fawn
Nature at its Rawest: Mother Tries To Save Fawn From Vultures
These amazing images show nature at its rawest.
A Thomson's gazelle mother desperately tries to fight off vultures when her fawn falls ill.
But, despite repeated attempts to get close to the stricken youngster, her efforts are no match for the sharp beaks and claws of the predators.
The heart-breaking scenes were captured by wildlife photographer Roy Mangersnes on the Masai Mara in Kenya.
The dramatic pictures show the mother making repeated runs at two Lappet-face vultures who are closing in on what they see as an easy meal.
At one point a vulture flies claws-exposed at the brave Thomson's gazelle.
But, unfortunately, her efforts are in vain and a colony of vultures descend to pick at the carcass as the mother looks on.
Roy explains: "These two Lappet-faced vultures found the sick Thomson gazelle youngster and flew down to get it. It was probably just sick, and could not get up.
"The mother was still around and tried to fight them off. She came back again and again, but eventually she had to fold and the scavengers took over. Within 10 minutes the young gazelle was gone.
"It was heart-breaking to watch as she waited anxiously nearby, waiting for the fawn to resurrect, but nature can be unforgiving."
