I do not believe a comma is necessary in this sentence at all. In fact, if you were to insert a comma after the word grazed (as you maybe tempted to do) it could change the meaning of the sentence. If you meant the lions were oblivious of the presence of the gazelles, you would insert a comma after grazed. But if you meant the gazelles were oblivious of the presence of the lions, you would leave the comma out.

The first sentence is the most exact and the most precise
because of how the idea is communicated in least amount of words possible. It is important to keep in mind that when you
are writing something that comprehension always goes down the more words there
are in a sentence. Thus, it is always
best to communicate with the fewest words possible. Let’s take a look at another example. Say you are at a baseball game and a fly ball
is coming directly toward you without your knowledge, and the person sitting
next to you tries to warn you by saying the following: “Because of the velocity of a baseball coming
in your direction and the potential damage it may cause if it comes into
contact with your head because you are not wearing a helmet and because
ambulance rides as well as emergency room visits are not fun nor cheap, you
should probably seek to get out of the way as soon as possible.” How would that work? Now, compare that to the more exact/precise
sentence of “Duck!” See how that
works?
You basically have to do 1:15
