These two males lions attacked a lone lioness to steal her food last week in remarkable close-up footage that reveals the brutality that exists between the predators of Africa.

In the video, filmed in South Africa's Kruger National Park on August 24 during a safari, two male lions sneak up and use brute force to steal the remaining buffalo meat from a carcass from a starving lioness.

"The lioness looked in a real bad neglected state and she was starving," explains the Newsflare member. "The hungry lioness enjoyed her find for not even five minutes when we suddenly saw a big male lion on a hill in the distance. He was staring straight at this female and soon started stalking her. The male lion sneaked up to the lioness and out of nowhere, he was joined by a second big male lion.

"The lioness realized too late what was going on and was brutally attacked by both males for a brief moment. Pinning her down, both males bit into the lioness, making their intentions very clear while leaving her totally shocked and blown away. The lioness stood no chance and quickly realized that it was better to move on while the two male lions claimed their prize. This female had no relation to the males and it was purely a matter of fighting for survival between predators of the same species."
