Serval Kitten vs Lion

Do not watch this if you love cats.
Nature is nature. Sometimes it can be beautiful, like when a herd of elephants helps a calf out of the water when it is stuck.
Other times, nature can leave us speechless and heartbroken.
This is one of those times.

Watch the sad moment a serval mom and kitten get separated by a lioness that drives the kitten to fight for its life. Unfortunately, the kitten’s determination was no match for the lioness.


“We were driving around the Mara on an early morning when our guide, the very best one in Africa, Mr Lenny Koshal, spotted a serval! Shortly after, we also spotted the kitten. It is extremely rare to see a serval, let alone a kitten! We all got really excited. Only seconds later, we saw two lionesses sneaking into the bushes where servals had just gone. Our guide got a bit upset since he knew the serval kitten was in danger. We drove up to the lionesses and tried to disturb them, but they were too invested in the servals already. They did not care too much, even when we almost bumped into them!”

“We saw the lionesses hurry to one part of the bushes, and the mother serval ran off. We drove around to see what was going on. The kitten was found by the lionesses! When we got there, the kitten was doing its best to scare the lioness away.”

“Sighting ended when the serval kitten charged and tried to scare away the lioness, but all of a sudden, the lioness just took the kitten and bit it.”

“We have not even seen a Serval before. Our guide who has been a full-time guide in Maasai Mara for 12 years has only seen serval kittens on 4 occasions. Our sighting has probably never been seen before and definitely not on film. Lions are not even known to go after servals.”

“After kitten got attacked by the lion, the serval mother was running around looking and calling for the kitten and it was unfortunate when the mother realized the kitten was gone. When she saw the kitten, she took off.”

That kitten was a brave soul. He went out with courage and tenacity despite the odds. May you rest in peace, little buddy.

Cats really are brave. No matter the size difference, they fight.

It looks like she snapped its spine with the first bite.

The lion didn’t even use much force that looks like tender crushing just shows how dangerous they really are

A kill for food can be acceptable, but a kill for nothing is sad

The fact that the lion keeps so calm around humans and does his thing without worry. It's incredible actually.

Only if the kitten did not provoke the lioness, it could've had a 50% of a lioness to just ignore him.

The most disrespectful part of this is the lioness didn’t even eat the kitten. That’s so brutal
