An adult lion drags a park ranger across the ground by his torn jacket sleeve—not biting flesh—while tourists shout for help. Seconds later, a massive African elephant charges in, trumpeting, and delivers a powerful shoulder hit that knocks the lion several meters away. The elephant immediately stands guard, shielding the ranger and nudging him toward a nearby jeep. The lion retreats into the tall grass as dust glows in the golden light. Captured in one continuous 9:16 handheld shot with natural ambience.
