These incredible snaps capture the moment a hungry lioness hunts and sinks her teeth into a stork in the air.

But one bird was not so lucky and ended up becoming the lioness Zama’s dinner and her two cubs.
Jorge Alesanco, owner of the Cheetah Tented Camp safari park in Maasai Mara, Kenya, captured the stunning images while he was in the reserve.
