The lions pin down the giraffe, which tried to escape multiple times before the nine minute feast. SOUTH AFRICA: THE SHOCKING moment FIVE YOUNG LIONS tenderly PLAY with a BABY GIRAFFE before savagely turning it into lunch has been caught on camera. Images and video footage show a pride of cubs as they disregard table manners and play with their prey by calmly brushing and stroking the neck of the poor giraffe before finishing it off with a sharp gnaw in the neck. The young giraffe is eaten alive and continues to spasm long into the video recording as the hungry lions tuck in. Heart-breaking images show the giraffe?s mother forlornly watching on as her dead-eyed child, along with a big cat?s blood-eyes stare down the barrel of the camera lens. The dramatic family feast was captured by amateur photographer and doctor, Desmond Chu (47) from Sydney, Australia. Shot in the Madikwe Game Reserve, South Africa, on a Nikon D800 and Nikon D500, Desmond was remarkably only 16 feet from the kill. mediadrumworld.com/Desmond Chu/@drdeschu
