Rare footage of a lion finishing off an elephant in northern Botswana. <br /><br />The video, filmed on May 18, shows the male lion chewing on the wounded elephant, which appears to be still alive. <br /><br />According to the filmer, the footage was taken shortly after the big cat pounced on the elephant's back and brought it down. <br /><br />"I tracked the male lion early one morning," the filmer wrote online.<br /><br />"He eventually came to an open pan in the bush and charged at the elephant." <br /><br />"The elephant ran off into the bush, but the lion pounced on its back," he continued. <br /><br />"The elephant soon lost balance, which allowed the lion to asphyxiate it. <br /><br />"It took 90 minutes to kill the elephant [and] the lion started to eat it alive."
