This is the moment a warthog stepped into the path of a hungry lion and then became its prey.The incredible pictures show the warthog step into the lion's den, but it was only ever going to end one way, as the predator then leaps out with brute force to capture the animal. The lion then goes on to devour the wild pig, proving his status as top of the animal food chain.

The lion leaps out on to the warthog with brute force and pounces on its prey
The warthog tries to make a break for freedom but the lion is hot on its heels trying to recapture it
'The poor unsuspecting warthog did not spot the lions at all and she disappeared behind a bush where a lion was lying, and it was taken by surprise.Dr Jonker revealed the warthog first had a lucky escape after it accidentally woke a sleeping lioness and startled her so she didn't attack.But she couldn't believe her eyes when the same warthog went back into the lion's den.She added: After the warthog escaped, I thought the action was over. But the warthog went back in a circle and went back on the same path as before, straight back into the lions.
The lion asserts his authority as top of the food chain as he takes a bite of the warthog who was unable to escape
The lion digs his teeth into the warthog he has just killed as he is joined by a lioness
'By this time, a male lion had woken up and was sat up straight trying to see what the commotion was.'He saw the warthog coming and went straight into the attack position. This was when I had my camera poised as I knew this time something was going to happen.'At one stage there was only this big dust cloud and I could not see what was happening.
