The image was captured in Moremi National Park, Botswana, and features a pride of lions that successfully took down a large elephant. There were about 7 to 8 lions in the pride, and the hunt lasted all night.

At a time when conditions are becoming more restrictive for LGBTQ+ people in some parts of Africa, the Republic of Botswana has taken an important step in protecting LGBTQ+ rights by officially removing old colonial-era laws that banned same-sex relationships from its statute books.

This move places Botswana alongside other African countries that have decriminalised same-sex relations, including South Africa, Angola, Mozambique, Seychelles, Cape Verde, and Lesotho.
