After some tussling and roaring between the two animals, the impala fell off the branch and hit the ground, where a second lion greedily snatched the meat with its jaws.

The lioness on the treetop didn't climb down after she had won the fight but instead pestered the leopard with more growls and claw swipes.

Suddenly, a herd of elephants broke out of the brush to investigate the commotion.
