Lions are such majestic animals.

[@johanrebel]

But this one had no tassle.

[@dylhas1]

Some, if not most, of the footage on this channel is incredible. That up close footage of the lion dragging his meal really helps it seem “more real” in way. It helps really put into perspective how amazing and dangerous these animals are when you can hear every little sound and see them in comparison to people and a vehicle only a few meters away. I can’t believe I never found this channel before!

[@moheezumrawee6411]

[@pikppa]

The most impressive part is not his strength but his endurance. Lions and other big cats are notorious for having poor stamina but this big male runs for so long at the beginning before he reaches his prey!

[@rdu239]

Big cats rely on short burst of speeds to ambush and attack

[@pikppa]

@@rdu239 Yeah but I would hardly call "short" the spring he did at the beginning.

[@83056]

I agree also notice when the lion runs imagine the power behind his stride, you wouldn't want to get knocked over by him.

[@pikppa]

@@83056 A tiger running and jumping on you produce an over 3-tons force of impact. I imagine a lion would be close.

[@tommosley2844]

Lions have the largest hearts of the feline family, giving them far more endurance. They've been known to chase their prey for up to 1/2 mile. Other cats for instance the tiger never chase more than 50 yards.

[@valero9328]

What’s more impressive is that he’s dragging it through sand

[@bs1820]

Yeah...that Lion doesn't have a bit of fat: it's pure muscle mass energy!

[@debbie20062003]

The lion is trying to get his kill under the trees so that the vultures do not circle above, as hyenas have learned to come to steal a kill where the vultures circle above. Very intelligent animal to figure out getting it below the tree cover helps keep his food safe from other predators stealing.

[@pikppa]

Hyenas would never try to steal from a full grown male lion. If anything, the contrary often happens.

[@justaguy5055]

@@pikppa depends if its alone or not if they are really desperate they will try especially if the male lion is alone depends how desperate they are

[@debbie20062003]

@@pikppa it's all about numbers and how motivated the hyena clan is to get the food. If the hyena pack has enough numbers, they can take on a male lion as a pack. This is one of my favorite lion videos (narrated by Sir David Attenborough) of Red the lion, versus a pack of hyenas. Fortunately, Red's brother Tatu came to his rescue in time to save his life from the hyenas: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2a5Z5qaqpqcnpo

[@accord21]

@@debbie20062003 Not really. The hyena clan would need like 60-70 clan members and that's rare to have a clan that size, to get a full grown fully mature male lion off it's kill. Red the lion was only an adolescent, not a full grown fully mature male.

Takes huge balls to charge a lion lol Especially when most of your species is killed by them. Still, you are right. If only they had the courage/inner strength to gather together and fight, especially to save another.

[@mikeburch5201]

Caroline Yuen: The Buffalo isn't coming to help hurt its own. The Buffalo lift up their own like that to get them moving and away from danger if they are able. In this case the lion had already injured te Buffalo enough it had no fright left. Shortly after the Buffalo lifts up its own Buffalo and the Buffalo shows no life left them the family knows they can move on and not half to rise their lives by charging the lion for nothing knowing their family member is past help because of the Lions doing not the Buffalo that lifted it up.

Most of them tend to give up quite easily. Sometimes you think they are done for then the lion gets distracted and the buffalo hops up and runs off. It might be futile to fight so they save the energy if there is a chance to escape.
