She finds her target-a young femme in its prime. It had two younglings with it, making it an even better prey. She signals the others that this one was hers and slinks forward silently. She crouches low until she is about four or five feet behind the gazelle so it would not catch her scent. The lioness leaps, pouncing on the femme, shredding her flesh with razor claws, sinking her teeth into the creature's back again and again. The animal bucks and tries to get the lioness off but she holds tight, slashing and biting until finally it collapses. She-beast rolls off the limp, dead gazelle and prowls torward the foals(? I don't know what you call gazelle babies). No sense to leave them motherless when they'd make just as good a meal as she would. Quickly, easily, she pins them on the ground. These were the easiest to kill since their legs were not as developed as the olders and they were very clumsy. With one slash of her unsheathed claws she rips open each foal(?). She then drapes the dead babies over her back with some difficulty and drags the mother's carcass back. This family was too far behind for any of this to really disturb the main herd, so there are still more gazelle left for the other lioness' to hunt. She lies down, dropping her kill, awaiting the others' moves.
