An incredible video out of Kenya features the dramatic moment when a lion attempts to pounce on a baby elephant but is rebuffed by the creature's monstrous mother.
Captured at the Samburu National Reserve earlier this month, the breathtaking video begins with Nablus, as she is known by wildlife workers, walking along with her baby behind her.
Suddenly, a ferocious-looking lion comes charging out of the brush headed straight for the unsuspecting calf.
