True. Lions can see and hunt through the night. Elephants, weren't because they vulnerable with their eyesight when it gets darker.

Yep. Cats, including lions, have excellent night vision. Lions do most of their hunting at night, in fact. Elephants on the other hand have no better night vision than we do, so they were at a severe disadvantage. That poor elephant was probably crashing through the brush in a blind panic trying to escape, but with no idea where he was going. A sad death, but at least his passing did not go to waste.

[@somnius2519]

I remember several years back, my family and I were watching a documentary a lot like this one that was following a group of lions. The wildebeest herds had moved on, leaving only elephants behind, and they were beginning to starve. Dad, who didn't usually watch nature shows, said once or twice something along the lines of "Well, go out and start killing some elephants!" Finally they started doing just that and survived on them. Later in the show, the herds came back and the lions were coming up to hunt them, and Dad belts out in a deep voice "We survived on elephants!" A bit random, but a pleasant memory with my family.

[@ArrowBast]

Nature did not evolve 360 degree vision and defense in most tetrapods as it would demand too much metabolic energy to power the brain and would distract such a creature with too much sensory input, Also providing such rear defense ( limb) organs would complicate the reproductive dynamics of humping lol . Vision is the most demanding metabolically , why do you think animals have to sleep with eyes closed ? I dont recall any extant mammals having defensive spurs in their rear ends like stegosaurs( tails with horn!) or anklyosaurs ( clubs in tails!) did , horses and donkeys and likely a few others do have a good ability to kick back with their hind legs, and the mammalian equivalent of anklyosaurs ( extinct Giant Armadillos) may have had club tails. Luckily us humans just do fine with an occasional glance in the rearview mirror while driving without needing another pair of eyes at the rear end - in that sense we kind of outsmarted evolution to some extent and is intrinsic behavior of humans - the instinct to dominate over limitations imposed by evolution is very much part of us .

This is just par for the course. Elephants get eaten all the time by lions and hyenas. Just look at the videos and accounts of hyenas eating elephants alive who are trapped in mud pits.

That is one of the biggest jokes i have read in my life. As usual they don't mention the size of the elephant. After seeing that sentence, the question anyone should ask themselves is what sized elephant seven lionesses could kill ? There are few online footage which shows more than 10 lionesses try to kill a very small elephant. If it was possible for just 2 male lions to bring down an elephant then by now there should have been lot of deaths of fully grown bull elephants but that is not the case.

[@SameerPrehistorica]

@John pohn ​ Exactly, i have read that before. A single tiger could kill a full grown Asian elephant which is another joke. First of all it's not easy for a single tiger to kill a full grown muscular bovid gaur and yet you can see comments of tigers fans clashing with lions fans claiming that a single tiger could kill a full grown gaur while it takes a group of lionesses to take down a single African buffalo. In some cases, a large herbivore dies of injury made by another one of it's kind or disease and then it's meat is scavenged while some people will claim that it was actually killed by the predators. Indeed you are right about some people creating fake articles. In one video it was mentioned as a large giraffe killed by some. I know that pride of lions can kill a giraffe and i commented saying, that giraffe looks like a sub adult because in fact it didn't looked like a fully grown adult. Some guy reply to my comment and says if i'm an angry tiger fan and i'm not even fan of most predators. He just thinks that just because i said that it looks like a sub adult giraffe, that i'm underestimating lions and also thinks that i should be a tiger fan. Seriously these people are crazy.

Well the answer is pretty simple, tigers are solitary hunters, we are talking here about a pride of 30 lions! No individual lion could ever do something like this.

@@vio3366 okay…..🙄🙄🙄

[@vio3366]

@@MaevaStardust ??? If you don't believe me just read more about the topic a lion alone could never kill an elephant ( unless the elephant is still too young) but not an adult elephant. Also, as someone else also shared, the lions had a great advantage because they were hunting during the night, lions (as all cats) have an excellent night vision but elephants don't, so this helped them a lot. And again, we are talking about a pride of 30 lions.

unlikely, it will be exhausted, those 30 lions would take turns attacking it.. it should have remained in the pack

[@HulkVahkiin]

​@gerry sabron The video clearly shows the elephant doesn't even need to do much but give a small false charge to chase away the Lions. Heck, while the Elephant was running, all it needed to do was turn it's back and you better believe the Lions chasing would have backed off. They simply won't take the Elephant head on-as I said, it can hold its ground, the Lions can give up as well.

Imagine being pregnant for 22 months just for your child to get eaten by a pride of lions.

[@PsychicThursday]

So you're saying basically imagine a pregnant woman being eaten by a pride of lions?

[@wildlifeisthewealthofnatur5457]

It's not a child but a subadult elephant of maybe 13-14 years. And everything has to have predators to keep population in check. Even though elephants are very beneficial for ecosystem, too much of them would still be bad for vegetation. It's humans that are actually a threat to everything that exists.
