Lion caught on CCTV snatching a rottweiler - BBC Africa

In a suburb on the outskirts of Nairobi a family is processing the news that their pet was taken by a lioness during the night. CCTV footage reveals the animal jumping up across the house gate, later leaving the same way while clutching a Rottweiler in her mouth. The BBC caught up with the pet's owners who are still shocked that their beloved animal was snatched away.

The African lioness, not to mention the male lion, is much larger than the American mountain lion or cougar. That's why a full-grown Rottweiler almost looks like a large rat in its mouth.
