Lions - Kruger National Park. Came across this kill scene on 26/04/2016 while on safari in Kruger National Park, South Africa. The male lion did the killing work earlier, then the female continued to work on the kill. The cub plays around a bit. Additionally, we were on an early morning safari drive with Nik from Wildlife Safaris on Tuesday morning, 26 April around 6:30am. We were staying in Skukuza, He had heard from a staff member that there were a few lions around, and unfortunately I cannot remember exactly where we found them. When we arrived, the lion was busy trying to kill the rhino. We were told that 10 minutes prior, the lion had jumped on the back of the rhino. He continued for about 20 minutes, and just as we were about to leave, the male lion rested and his lady lion and their cub came into the picture. The lioness continued trying to kill the rhino, with the cub playing around in the background.- video owner - Eric Knopp

Predation on Rhino (both Black and White) is not unusual. Typically the Rhinos predated are not grown adults (like the one in the video above): Taipan Jan 9 2012, 08:27 PM Feeding Frenzy With the Rhino kill being just north of Exeter River Lodge and the giraffe kill just south of the camp, we are witnessing some amazing interaction between predators and other opportunists passing through the area. At the Rhino kill, one can only admire the patience of hundreds of vultures (both White-backed and Hooded) who have been sitting for three days watching the carcass disappear. The lions have not tolerated them within sight of the kill and chase them the moment they leave the tree. At the giraffe, the lone male lion has had to put up with unwanted attention from a small clan of Hyena, Jackal as well as Vultures. A much tougher job considering there is only one lion at the kill. Thus far the lions have been ruthless on anything that comes within range of their kills, yet we still hope for more interaction. http://www.wildwatch.com/sightings/feeding-frenzy Taipan Dec 29 2014, 10:29 PM Taipan Feb 18 2012, 11:10 PM Source : http://www.rhinoresourcecenter.com/pdf_files/117/1175858056.pdf http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Lion+predation+on+the+African+Black+Rhinoceros+and+its+potential...-a0268790518 2 Male Lions kill adult Female White Rhino http://razaman.blogspot.com.au/2009/08/south-africa-2009-part-4.html Asadas Sep 23 2014, 05:22 AM This incident provides evidence to suggest a link between attempted lion predation and tail amputation in black rhinoceros. Significantly, it implies that amputated tails and ears throughout Africa may represent failed depredation attempts and that calf predation may be more prevalent than previously appreciated. Predation is seldom considered in the management of black rhinoceros but should be when attributing cause to poor population performance of this critically endangered species. http://www.bioone.org/doi/abs/10.3377/004.044.0216 http://biologypop.com/community-interaction-predation-info/ Blaze here is the info, I am not sure if its white or black rhino. Here is a pair near where they photoed the lions http://razaman.blogspot.com/2009/08/south-africa-2009-part-4.html http://razaman.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html A lion in the Pilanesburg National Park attacked and killed a Black Rhinoceros just hours before this picture was taken. If you look close, you can see blood on his face. I understand why the lion is king of the jungle. http://mobilemissionministry.org/king-of-kings.html
