AdvertisementThe impressive moment a herd of elephants club together to save one of their young calves from hungry lionesses has been caught on camera in Botswana. Photographs taken by British photographer James Gifford show one lioness stalking the small elephant before leaping onto its back in Chobe National Park. James said: 'When I saw the elephant herd approaching their direction, the lions lay low. The elephants didn't appear to notice the lions, or if they did, they didn't perceive them as a threat. Crucially a second female only arrived to help 10 seconds later, by which time the brief window of opportunity had closed.
