Lioness stalking and killing an Oryx

This video clip shows a lioness stalking and killing an Oryx.  The lioness had been lying in wait by a fallen tree at Okaukuejo waterhole in Etosha National Park in Namibia, and after an hour passed, an Oryx approached the waterhole cautiously before starting to drink.  The lioness then stalked silently till she was fairly close to the Oryx and then charged it and grabbed it in the water and quickly killed it before dragging the carcass away to eat in privacy.
