Male lions give chase

After the show, in and around the cars, the 3 males teamed up on one female. They chased her out into the tall grass where they caught up to her and one of the males grabbed her by the head. I thught that it might be all over for her, but he then released her and they all settled down in the grass and watched an elephant walk by.
The next day we saw the three young males with one female, it appears that this one has changed sides.
Slide 1 shows the males chasing the female out into the tall grass.
Slide 2 They surround her.
Slide 3 One of the males has her by the head
Slide 4 It looks like it's over.
I once again appologize for the quality, but the distance was substantial. I'm using a 600mm with a 1.4 extender on a camera with a 1.6 crop factor. The images were then cropped in post processing to provide these less then ideal images. Hope you've enjoyed the story.
I do have a couple of minutes of video that I'll try to get up in the future, you will enjoy the noise!
