I don't like people flashing lights at animals and disturbing their natural life. Rather use night vision cameras.

@@OldScratch81 I'm surprised that such an unconscious comment gets 7 likes. If you can't afford night vision, how about just leaving the animals completely alone?

[@nanakwakukoomson1120]

Their light 💡 makes it easy for the lion to see them

[@smokerscoach6390]

Lions can see at night they hunt under the cover of darkness infact the light is a distraction for both of them

[@user-rr5eb7nh7n]

A lion's sense of sight at night is eight times better than a human's sense of sight. It is like night vision technology

[@k.m.f369]

Lions can see effortlessly at night. The light matters nothing.

[@AliasSchmalias]

@@k.m.f369 Because people are always close to animals to film them, the lights definitely have an influence on the hunting behavior of animals because they know this very well. From 300 meters away he might never have seen the leopards, but he can see the car lights very clearly. It's a shame that people don't just leave the animals alone at night instead of shining a light on them.

[@umakanthan76]

Interesting to see how spotlights make a mess of everything. Leopards are very intelligent and know the areas where lions would not frequent. That kill was probably stashed in a tree where the chances of lions stealing it was low. These safe areas keep shifting of course. The leopard that was resting on the ground too would have been resting at that place knowing it was relatively safe. Plus in the natural pitch black state of the forest night, you can find documentaries shot with night vision that shows how lions walk just meters from prey without sighting it. But here, in the pitch black forest night, spot lights shining up on a tree would have been visible for miles. Lions and other predators such as hyena clearly associate vehicles and spot-lights with potential opportunities. So in essence, not an actual natural occurrence, but a dangerous situation for the leopards created by a bunch of folks with spot-lights creating a mess out of natural order. Which of course, will be denied by the people concerned. "Lion will definitely chase her if he sees her" - Of course yes, if you keep shining your spot-light on her!

The lion doesn’t seem bothered. You can glean it’s a paid tour. Those tours help pay for conservation efforts and incentivizes governments to hold off on development if a thriving tourist industry exists

[@user-eh2bi8qt5j]

Do the lights, trucks and other equipment artificially distort natural outcomes in nature? Did the light tip off the lion and help him see the kill? Do predators use trucks as cover to stalk prey? Isn’t survival hard enough without our interference?

Burnt Ebony male from Botswana. He was in the open but was so confident he showed no fear or whatsoever. The lions may looked confused since they usually run when a lion is nearby but the lions were focused on the next hunt anyway. Still an awesome scene though!

[@mohideenbadsha3703]

That lion is more interested in that Impala carcass, it doesn't want to waste its energy by further chasing that Leopard. In fact, the King appreciates those leopards for providing a free dinner!! No confrontations and everybody is happy!!!!!! I have seen in many cases that the Lions show much interest in killing leopards rather than going for their carcass, the urge to eliminate the competition is very high among the Big cats!!! Lions hate Hyena, and other big cats like Leopard, and Cheetah, given an opportunity they always want to kill rather than steal their food!!!!

[@user-rr5eb7nh7n]

The male lion tends to kill any predator at every possible opportunity. It is not enough for him to grab the food, while predatory hunters tend to avoid fighting and confrontations, such as the lioness, cheetah, leopard, and tiger. We have seen many male lions who have been injured in a very violent and serious manner, but they continue despite this because injury is a normal thing. In the life of male lions, even the lioness, which is considered the second largest predator in the forest after the lion, but she avoids fighting and confrontations as much as possible because she is a predatory hunter. In contrast, the lion stands in front of an entire clan of African hyenas, which are among the strongest wild predators.
