And not only that, his energy levels are at an all-time low.

It's been days since he last ate.

And, as the rainy season wears on, food is scarcer than ever.

But Nyata is determined and extremely patient.

She spends hours watching and stalking potential prey.

She even memorizes every warthog den on her patch.

Eventually her patience pays off.

Another warthog... this time a huge male with deadly tusks.

She needs to get close before she attacks.

The bushes provide the perfect cover.

Mission accomplished.

Now she must protect her kill.

The boar is as big as she is.

It takes all her strength to drag it into cover.

It's slow and exhausting work.

A hidden island is the perfect place to defend her kill.

She calls Mojo into feast.

After the meal, a rare opportunity for mom and her cub to relax.
