A camera disguised as a rock captures a lioness killing a zebra. Pictures by Anup Shah

These are the dramatic last moments of a zebra's life as it is hunted down by a hungry lioness as it drinks at a wateringhole

These are the dramatic last moments of a zebra's life as it is hunted down by a hungry lioness. A camera disguised as a rock perfectly catches the action as a quiet drink at the watering hole is shattered by the approaching big cat

Panic quickly spreads as the lioness launches her attack

Then with hooves flying just inches over the lens of the camera the mayhem and chaos of the fleeing herd is unleashed

Ground-breaking wildlife photographer Anup Shah spent three months following a large herd of zebra on the plains of the Masai Mara, in Kenya, Africa

Anup explains: "What I have got is a remote camera disguised and placed in the path of the herd where you think it is going to go. I could see what was happening through the lens from a safe distance, you wouldn't want to be in the path of a herd of stampeding 6,000lb zebra"

When peace is restored one unlucky zebra lies dead as the lioness sits with her kill

Away from the drama of thundering hooves and hungry jaws, life remains no less eventful among the zebra. Anup said: "The stallions will fight each other when an interloper tries to steal another's female, they will kick and bite each other in fearsome contests. In another of my pictures you can see one of the zebras kicking out at another, this is the equivalent of saying don't get too close, this is my space"

Anup and his brother Manoj Shah's incredible images of the life of African herds can be found in the book 'African Odyssey'
