  1. I've never seen a lion or lioness ever get that far up a tree..amazing and terrifying. Crazy footage!

  2. hyenas look shy and scared and weak...but it's all part of the act
    158
  3. lion: everything that moves is food unless it chases me elephant: everything that stares at me and doesn't move is a threat

  4. probably the best tasting meal a lion can have right there, I remember one video where the fawn is born and as it touches the ground it's grabbed by a lion, that's the real world

  5. Haha, driving around with the windows down around African lions. It's really a Jurassic Park moment. Don't move. Mostly they're just curious, but at night I hear they're very different. Lions are so tall. What a privilege it is to be in their presence.

  6. yeah the birds and monkeys make hunting a lot harder for tigers and leopards, always sounding the alarm, harder to catch footage of tigers as well..but fortunately they'll chase the vehicles and try to leap into your lens, ahha

  7. Hippos are approached differently than other prey. They're sort of a specialty meal. They're big and slow and appear out of nowhere because they live in the water. So lions can be a bit perplexed in how to kill it. There is no vulnerable neck to clinch onto, there is no muzzle to suffocate, the mouth is extremely dangerous. So they use their body weight to slow the hippo down as it looks for water and claw and chew whatever they can while latched on. Eventually the hippo gets exhausted and they make their way into the tissue. Like with elephants and rhino, this means the lions will pretty much feed on them until they die if it doesn't die from exhaustion/dehydration and they can't kill it with a bite to the spinal cord like they would say a wart hog. They have to kill these animals like a pack of wolves take down an elk. It's all about stamina and numbers rather than stealth and ambush like they're used to. Of course then they gotta eat it from the inside out from the softest area, the anus. Anyway, I'm not an expert, but who here is. This is just what I've seen and read throughout the years.

  8. looked broke beforehand, lions are really good at leaping and grabbing onto a calf's neck and bringing it down like a pendulum
    47
  9. holy....cow
    35
  10. looks like an adult male and adolescent male chasing, not the greatest hunters in the world, the male was a bit far back also, can't blame them for not wanting to chase after those powerful back legs and kicks
    33
  11. wow, can't believe it caught it, servals are amazing, tall and beautiful, that thing would have clawed me to death, haha I'd have bled out from all the scratches, but it's nothing to the leopard..just goes to show you how tough big cats are, or all African wildlife, they're accustomed to the harsh elements, we couldn't even walk barefoot out there, we'd be all thorned up with burnt feet, haha
    29
  12. think of the power and weight it takes to pull down a buffalo, incredible shoulder strength
    29
  13. impressive how strong that dog is, for some reason things seem even more violent when the predator is growling like a dog
    26
  14. those safari drivers gotta hear it all the time I bet, hopefully at this point they find it humorous rather than annoying
    25
  15. Alex F wow, I'd expect in this case that the giraffe would be tranqed and cared for or atleast braced up a bit
    22
  16. like a giant doodle bug, seriously though, these things are mammals
    21
  17. yeah much more agile, they'll hop and swipe with both paws, long bodies vs the lion's tall bodies, they can easily climb trees vs lions which can barely climb trees, fantastic swimmers as well, they'll also fight a rival like a house cat, something you don't see lions do, rolling around and using their back paws vs lions smacking each other and maybe biting hind quarters until one runs away, there's a video of two males fighting for a female on here somewhere, it's really the most violent cat fight I've ever seen
    20
  18. The buffalo are like a flock of birds, but real clumsy at the same time.
    20
  19. "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
    19
  20. lions go the muscle, cheetahs got the speed, caracle's got the ups, but leopards got it all
    18
  21. it spins it's tail like a propeller blade
    18
  22.  @sixcoregamer9221  6 core gaming is a death sentence
    16
  23. imagine what that would be like...trying to eat with all that happening around you and things biting your tail..and practically your balls, amazing how fast a lion can spin around, it's like a dance move
    16
  24. "go on now, git!" that would work hahaha
    15
  25. uh oh, loses one more and it'll become a man-eater
    15
  26.  @jastin5151  maybe convert them to veganism?
    14
  27. That lion was on that Khudu like Khabib on Connor.
    14
  28. man, leopards are insane
    13
  29. people are always seeing things clearly in videos that I can't, do I need a better tv?
    12
  30. shortest life I've ever seen, saw one get snatched up as soon as it's hooves touched the ground but this one didn't even get that far, the real world
    11
  31. haha that mud is insane
    9
  32. amazing speed from both animals, love watching the cheetahs hunt, love hearing the girls appreciate the moment, cheetahs are the most successful hunters of the large cats, like 58% success, with 3....even better probably, but anything can steal their kill, common
    8
  33. look at that horn! never seen a lion go head on with a rhino, that is wild those lions seem fairly light in color
    8
  34.  @jastin5151  hahahha, yeah just a little meat here and there, plenty of delicious leaves I'm sure they'd enjoy
    8
  35. amazing how they can keep their young alive, not really any giant herd to protect them or give them cover and better odds
    8
  36. maybe keeping it alive to hopefully attract a larger one
    7
  37. Are we sure the croc isn't just helping baby croc learn how to swim..in an unconventional fashion? Surely it's not a croc eat croc world we're living in.
    7
  38. such powerful animals, fearless lioness, elephant nearly fell, if it fell it would be in big trouble
    7
  39. yeah I'm carrying everything in one trip, toss the 50lb bag of cat food on my back and put the watermelon on my head, haha ONE TRIP, I'll open that damn pickle jar too, I'm not tapping the lid
    7
  40. they smell really bad, probably taste bad but..I mean I've had cats that like bbq chips..popcorn, brussel sprouts..oranges (not that I included this in their diets), haha who knows, maybe that cat can't smell or even taste things too well
    6
  41. leopards with jaguars, leopards with cougar, leopard with lions, lions with tigers, jaguar with lion (liguar) I've seen all those, but never have I seen cheetah hybrids with anything, they are a different kind of cat I think and just can't hybridize
    6
  42.  @mziwendukuntsele671  it is, absolutely, porcupine quills can also cause it, either it starves to death or hunts the easiest meal on earth
    6
  43. yeah they need to invest in a giant safari truck for everyone to sit in, maybe this is because of covid though, but hey more cars equals more money for the park
    6
  44. I gave my cat bacon yesterday and he got that same look in his eyes, he immediately went into killer mode too and got aggressive like his leopard instincts took over. That leopard looks pretty small.
    5
  45. Even lions have ADD. From what I've read though it seems to be more about, "You guys are cool, but I'd rather no one get this buffalo than to let your girl have it!" haha
    5
  46.  @KBLIZZ333  You're still here? It's over. Go home. Haha
    5
  47. WOW. That lion was like, okay I'm leaving and the hippo is like NOT FAST ENOUGH. It's a shame we missed some of what happened prior, notice the edit. How the heck did the lion end up there? You can see they respect the danger he poses (though not to them because obviously they have skin that's a good 2" thick), but they're still a lot more cautious and leery than if he were something like an impala. They'd have killed the impala. haha, thick skin or not, claws and teeth hurt.

  48. true, tigers fight differently and their bodies are different, long vs tall, but it also comes down to the fight in the individual (that's why there's always debate between tiger people and lion people-no clear winner, folks, both have the ability to kill the other no matter the size), if people question a tiger's ability to fight then they should check out a video call tiger canyons africa tiger fight, you'll see just how ferocious cat fights can be, you've never seen lions fight like that
    5
  49. dang.. yeah cats don't give a damn about the size and age of another cat, they just see competition I guess
    5
  50. yep, they're a menace
