One of the lion’s favorite prey is the wild boar. However, catching wild boar is not really simple. They run very fast and often hide in burrows to escape the pursuit of lions.
Because of this, lions develop a completely different hunting skill than chasing prey. It’s a digging skill. Discovered a wild boar hiding in a dirt cave in Masai Mara Reserve, Kenya, the male lion digs hard.
Moments later, it grabbed the boar with relative ease. It seems that catching wild boars in a cave is less labor intensive than chasing them in the grasslands. As for wild boar, hiding in a cave is no longer a good option. Because if the lions find out, they only have to die.
Discovering a baby elephant drinking water in Hwange National Park (Zimbabwe), a male lion quickly sought to approach the prey.
After successfully warding off the predator, the elephant managed to run away. However, the male lion easily caught up and jumped on the baby elephant’s back until the prey got tired and fell to the ground. At the same time, another lion also ran to help his fellow to finish the elephant.
The whole scene was captured by photographer Kurt Haas. He said the process of hunting elephants of lions only takes place within 30-40 minutes.
Unlike other species of the same family, lions hunt in groups. This is the top carnivore. Their primary prey is other mammals, especially medium to large ungulates, including plains zebra, wildebeest, wildebeest, and antelope. , giraffes, hippos and even juvenile African bush elephants.
