Agile gazelle sidesteps a charging lion

People on safari in Tanzania were treated to an amazing display of agility when a gazelle dodged a charging lioness.

The big cat was out of camera when the gazelle was filmed drinking at a waterhole at the Serengeti National Park.

Suddenly the lioness sprints towards its intended prey, which appears to run one way before cutting back and running in the opposite direction. The lioness tries to brake, creating a dust cloud, before running out of sight.
