A sharp scream sent shivers down the spines of those around the lake as birds on nearby trees flurried off, followed by a deafening silence.

Before anyone could react, another harrowing and chilling scream rent the air, this time forcing a group of zebras and giraffes grazing on the shores of Lake Naivasha to scamper for safety.
