Facebook Pic of the Week: 21 to 27 April 2014

This was a tough one! Sooo many amazing images were shared during this week (during which there was no specific theme), that making a pick of just one was pretty tough. We settled on a duo this week...two images of predators showing amazing natural behaviour, one a tender family moment and the other a dramatic struggle for life.

Our first choice is this stellar image by Ben Cranke. It was captured in the infamous Duba Plains in the Okavango Delta of Botswana, where lions and buffalo are engaged in a daily tango of life and death. You can see more of Ben's work on his website: www.bencranke.com

The second choice for the week goes to Brendon Cremer. It shows a lovingly tender moment between a female leopard and her cub in the Khwai area of Botswana. Brendon's website can be seen here: www.brendoncremer.com
