Marabou Stork chasing after African White-backed Vulture - Marabou Stork
Masai Mara National Reserve, Rift Valley province, Kenya (August 2010)

The Vulture has a piece of Wildebeest snatched from under the noses of Spotted Hyenas feeding on a carcass. Probably the Wildebeest was killed by Lions who having eaten their fill were sleeping off the meal nearby.
