When you talk about the Apex Predator of The Great African Savanna, Jungle, it is hard not to talk about the King of The Jungle, “The African Lion”. An animal so methodical, and Carries the ability to attack with precision and always goes for the kill.
That is precisely what we are witnessing as we look at this Work-of-Art by Godfrey Gotcha Ncube, one of the Best Artist with the best hands capable of delivering art carving of such proficiency and epic proportions. The carving shows one Lion and two lionesses, as the King himself cripples the African Buffalo by attacking the coccyx (tailbone) incapacitating the buffalo restricting it from any movement. In contrast, one lionesses places its entire mouth over the buffalo’s snout to suffocate it. The other lioness grabbed the buffalo’s side with lion claws digging into the buffalo’s front leg to bring the African Buffalo Bull down to the ground.
Africa is truly the Home to the world’s most fierce wildlife and heavily built Cape Buffalos weighing anywhere between 425-870kgs, showcased by one the best Artist to ever Carve The Big 5 as two of (Africa’s Big 5) battle it out in the battle of supremacy and survival of the fittest and a game of numbers.
