Gareth van Rooyen, a highly experienced safari guide and wildlife fanatic, captured this incredible sighting on video. Gareth shared his story and footage with LatestSightings.com.
“The story starts with a leopard enjoying his meal in peace. When suddenly, a group of noisy baboons found him. The leopard knew that this would attract unwanted attention and tried moving its food to cover, but the alarm calls from the baboons had already piqued the interest of nearby lions!”
“The small pride of three lions was just a few hundred meters away. As they got closer the one male charged in at the leopard forcing it to abandon its meal and the lion was left with the remainder of the carcass”
The female that was with the two males saw this and also wanted to get her share. However, she knew there was no way she could overpower the male to get to the food. She needed to get creative if she wanted any chance of getting a piece. So, she came up with an ingenious plan…
“She approached the male, which Immediately caught his attention. There wasn’t much left on the carcass, and he had no intention of sharing any of it. Then just before he was able to react, she acted on her master plan, gently flicking her tail against his face. This unexpected move stopped him in his tracks! She then got even closer, rubbing her head on his neck. The male lion was totally taken by her actions.”
“Being in heat, she knew just what to do next. She presented herself in front of the male, who had now completely forgotten about the food just in front of him and was paralyzed in a moment of awe. This was the moment the lioness had been waiting for, and she quickly grabbed the food and darted off as fast as she could."
“The male lion was taken by complete surprise and needed a moment to process what just happened. But he quickly realized that he had been fooled and chased after her. The lioness wasn’t quick enough and ended up dropping the carcass before the male could catch her. Her disappointment was visible, while she walked off into the bush.’’

@@TransKidsMafia "Five lionesses in Botswana have grown a mane and are showing male-like behaviours. One is even roaring and mounting other females. Male lions are distinguished by their mane, which they use to attract females, and they roar to protect their territory or call upon members of their pride. Females lack a mane and are not as vocal." new scientist

Sometimes the Male Lions let the Female Lions have the food when they flirt like this but this time it didn’t work. Male must be really hungry.

[@thomasneal9291]

you know NOTHING about lions. it's the females that do 90% of the hunting, and the males take scraps. really really. so much projection in these threads, so little actual knowledge.

[@mr.jayflex7007]

Is she had succumbed to him when he wanted to mate am sure he would have let have the meal or they'll would share the meal in worst case scenario.

[@thomasneal9291]

you have zero idea what you are talking about. it's the females that do 90% of the hunting. learn something.

[@mr.jayflex7007]

@@thomasneal9291 That doesn't mean the male lions can't hunt. Males too can hunt if they need to, infact i have seen a single male lion take down a fully grown buffalo which is almost impossible for a single lioness. So I don't know where you are going with your comment on 90% hunting by Lioness. It doesn't relate to the context here.
