Don't touch my baby! The incredible moment three lionesses killed a crocodile after it tried to attack a cub Three lionesses pounced on a crocodile in an extraordinary scene after the reptile tried to attack one of the pride's cubs. The protective females instinctively leapt into action to fend off the aggressive predator. With organised precision, the lionesses surrounded the croc and launched a ferocious volley of blows. The extraordinary encounter took place in Botswana and was captured on camera by a touring cardiologist A lioness stared down the crocodile after it tried to snap at a cub The lionesses circled around the crocodile During the encounter the crocodile managed to bite one of the big cats but was soon killed by the pride. The rare scenes were captured by Tony Goldman while on a safari trip to the Duba Plains, in Botswana, with his son. Tony, 58, a cardiologist, said: 'The lionesses had just killed a buffalo and suddenly a crocodile ventured about 100 yards out of the water towards them to snack on the meat. 'One of the smaller cubs was in the path of the crocodile and it started to advance towards the cub in a menacing fashion before trying to attack it. One lioness let out a roar inches from the croc's face Three lionesses then pounced on the aggressive beast The crocodile reared in pain as the lioness struck a blow The crocodile only managed to get in one bite before it was killed by the protective pride The cubs were brought in for a snack after the crocodile was killed
