'An epic wildlife video has surfaced from Ruaha National Park in Tanzania, which shows a mighty lioness suffocating a giraffe after taking it down.

The gripping footage shows the queen of the jungle sitting on her prey's neck as the latter tries its best to get out of the chokehold.

As the clip progresses, the giraffe can be seen losing its will to survive as the beast calmly keeps its neck under her left hind leg.

"Capturing this incredible scene was all about being at the right place at the right time. What a moment!" the filmer, Emmanuel Matari wrote. "This is one of the hunting techniques lions commonly use."

This attention-grabbing scene was filmed on November 2, 2021.
