00:00 Failure and being knocked down and eaten are the results of most animals confronting an
00:13 incredible infamous predator.
00:16 Yes, none other than the lion himself.
00:21 Always a threat to all species, lions possess a great physical strength and powerful attacks.
00:29 In today's video, let us admire the dramatic hunting of the lions.
00:35 Let's go.
00:44 Lions go hunting, as no prey can escape.
00:51 First of all, let us take a look at some of the outstanding features of lions to see how
00:57 strong and cunning they truly are.
01:02 Lions possess a muscular body, stocky muscles and great physical strength.
01:09 They are the most social of all the wild cats, living in related groups with their offspring.
01:19 Which each group of lions usually consists between 15 and 30 individuals and each member
01:26 of the herd has skilled hunting techniques and good discipline.
01:35 Lions are adept single hunters.
01:40 An adult lion can take down medium-sized prey or larger prey, such as wildebeest, impala,
01:53 and other wild animals.
01:58 However, to hunt larger and more dangerous prey, lions often combine two hunting groups.
02:09 And let us see how the lion hunts.
02:16 This time it was still a wild buffalo.
02:21 Perhaps this wild buffalo will be an experiment for the first life lesson of the lion cubs.
02:32 Seeing the mother lion attack her prey, the lion cubs begin to imitate the movements of
02:38 their mother and apply them to their prey.
02:46 As the mother lion stood watching the cubs perform.
02:56 But the bites were not powerful and they were too clumsy.
03:01 And to teach her cubs how to hunt, the mother lion delivered fatal bites to the throat,
03:07 pinning and knocking her prey down.
03:12 And the movements are very, very decisive and powerful.
03:17 In the presence of the baby wild buffalo and unable to resist the attack of the mother
03:24 lion, the wild buffalo obediently surrendered.
03:32 That's what hunting is on land.
03:36 Let's see what the lion will do when their prey is underwater.
03:40 Three wild geese were swimming in the water and predators were waiting to hunt around
03:45 the shore.
03:47 However, they did not rush in to puddle the attack immediately, but observed closely.
03:57 Because it was so hungry, the sly lion was forced to find a way to attack its prey.
04:08 First to successfully hunt their prey, they carefully observing and stalking the prey
04:14 is extremely important.
04:17 Let's see how these lions attack their prey.
04:22 When approaching the prey, a lion leader rushes and chases the prey.
04:27 That makes a warthog.
04:31 Very quickly, with a speed of up to 80 kilometers per hour, the lion caught the prey and its
04:37 herd immediately flocked to enjoy the meal.
04:44 Still hungry lions, although not helping much in this hunt, they still huddle together to
04:51 bite and tear the meat and eat their prey deliciously.
05:00 Because their prey is a small warthog, it cannot resist the attacks of the lion, as
05:06 this time.
05:07 Let's see how the lion will defeat the big buffalo.
05:11 Seeing a lucrative prey, when the food source was running out, the lions were determined
05:17 not to let their prey escape.
05:22 And very quickly, the buffalo was fiercely attacked by the lions.
05:31 When hunting in groups, lions can jump on their backs to grip the prey, while others
05:37 bite the neck or suffocate the prey.
05:41 They can also knock their prey down by stuffing their mouths and nostrils into their jaws,
05:47 which also leads to suffocation.
05:51 As the wild buffalo tried to resist, but when confronted with a fierce herd of about 20
05:57 lions, the buffalo was forced to give in.
06:17 And the lions managed to knock their prey to the ground and began to enjoy the delicious
06:22 meal.
06:23 Surely, this wild buffalo, with a weight of about 500 kg, will provide enough food
06:31 for a whole pride of lions, for a day.
06:38 It is true that hunting in groups gives lions most advantage, and in terms of numbers, strength
06:46 and coordinated hunting techniques.
06:50 With the prey being an adult buffalo, if the lion hunts alone, it will be very difficult
06:56 to defeat.
06:59 And because the buffalo also has powerful counterattacks, along with the curved horns,
07:06 that can make lions very injured and even lose their lives.
07:11 But when hunting in groups, each member of the pride cooperates and helps each other,
07:19 making the hunt less time-consuming and not too much effort.
07:25 As the success rate of herd hunts is almost absolute, and any animal that is targeted
07:31 by lions will have a bad outcome.
07:35 An example is this wild buffalo.
07:39 It was defeated by the lions and eaten with a delicious taste.
07:50 It can be seen that hunting in groups often brings extremely good results for lions.
07:56 And if they knew how to take advantage of the opportunities and know how to coordinate
08:02 more smoothly, surely no opponent would be able to escape from their clutches.
08:09 Do you think so too?
