A photographer has captured what looks like the moment a lion goes in for the kill - from the prey’s perspective. Hannes Lochner mounted a camera onto the tow bar of his car and waited for a pride of lions to chase after him. As the pride of six cubs, all less than a year old, ran after the vehicle and their paws got within millimeters he remotely pressed the shutter. On one hand the photographs look like a lion taking a selfie - but it would also be the last thing a defenseless animal would see before being killed by one of nature’s most powerful creatures. Hannes took the brilliant photographs in the Kalahari desert while working with a pride of 14 lions.
