    Cecil the lion killed by American dentist Walter Palmer, Zimbabwe, Africa - 29 Jul 2015
    An American dentist who killed Cecil the lion with a bow and arrow during an illegal hunt in Zimbabwe has said that he is "deeply regrets" his actions. Walter Palmer, 55, from Minnesota, allegedly paid park guides $50,000 (GBP 32,000) to hunt and kill Cecil at the Hwange National Park, not realising that the animal was a local favourite According to reports Cecil was lured away from the safety of the park before being shot with a crossbow. He was then tracked for 40 hours and shot with a rifle. Palmer then posed for a 'trophy' photo with his corpse before it was decapitated and skinned. Palmer has insisted that he believed the hunting trip was legal. The two local guides are due to appear in court today and if convicted face up to 15 years in prison.

    Elk turn tables and chase away wolves
    Elk Turn Tables On Wolves
    It was a high stakes game of dare when a pack of wolves moved in on a herd of elk.

    The stand off saw a nervous number of the large deer become the focus of the predator's attention.

    But as the pack crept closer to their quarry they were in for a surprise - the elk bravely turned tables on their foe and chased them off.

    Photographer John Dykstra captured the dramatic incident in the Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.

    He explains: "The Lamar Valley has been called the "Serengeti" of North America because of the large numbers of wildlife that call it home for the winter. Elk migrate down to the valley from higher elevations as the snow begins to accumulate. Following their food supply, mainly elk, the wolves arrive as well.

    "It was just after sunrise when we arrived in the valley. Soon we noticed a small heard of elk on a not too distant ridge displaying somewhat unusual behavior. Moving closer we saw that someone else must have seen what we did. After further examination of the ridge, which was now even closer, we observed a pack of wolves as well as the elk.

    "The wolves would stalk and then chase the elk a short distance and then retreat. During the wolf retreats two elk would muster up enough courage to protect the herd by reversing the roll and chasing the wolves.

    "The wolves would regroup and begin the process over again. This back and forth chase and be chased drama went on for nearly an hour all the while I am photographing the action.

    "It didn't take long to realise which of them were in control. It seemed to be a matter of life and death for the elk but only a game for the wolves.

    "We learned from a watching naturalist that the pack consisted of two adult wolves and 5 "yearlings". The adults were teaching the yearlings th...

Moving closer we saw that someone else must have seen what we did. After further examination of the ridge, which was now even closer, we observed a pack of wolves as well as the elk.

    "The wolves would stalk and then chase the elk a short distance and then retreat. During the wolf retreats two elk would muster up enough courage to protect the herd by reversing the roll and chasing the wolves.

    "The wolves would regroup and begin the process over again. This back and forth chase and be chased drama went on for nearly an hour all the while I am photographing the action.

    "It didn't take long to realise which of them were in control. It seemed to be a matter of life and death for the elk but only a game for the wolves.

    Elk Turn Tables On Wolves
    It was a high stakes game of dare when a pack of wolves moved in on a herd of elk.

    The stand off saw a nervous number of the large deer become the focus of the predator's attention.

    But as the pack crept closer to their quarry they were in for a surprise - the elk bravely turned tables on their foe and chased them off.

    Photographer John Dykstra captured the dramatic incident in the Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.

    He explains: "The Lamar Valley has been called the "Serengeti" of North America because of the large numbers of wildlife that call it home for the winter. Elk migrate down to the valley from higher elevations as the snow begins to accumulate. Following their food supply, mainly elk, the wolves arrive as well.

    "It was just after sunrise when we arrived in the valley. Soon we noticed a small heard of elk on a not too distant ridge displaying somewhat unusual behavior. Moving closer we saw that someone else must have seen what we did. After further examination of the ridge, which was now even closer, we observed a pack of wolves as well as the elk.

    "The wolves would stalk and then chase the elk a short distance and then retreat. During the wolf retreats two elk would muster up enough courage to protect the herd by reversing the roll and chasing the wolves.
