RE: Lion pictures and videos - Shadow - 03-13-2019
This documentary was very interesting. Not only lions in it, also a glimpse behind the scenes what it is to film wild animals and what kind of passion it can be. A lot of rubbish in youtube, but sometimes there are jewels to be found too.
RE: Lion pictures and videos - Shadow - 03-14-2019
Another interesting documentary and example of it, that there are many kind of ways how lions survive out there.
RE: Lion pictures and videos - Shadow - 03-15-2019
Lionesses can be quite fierce when needed :)
RE: Lion pictures and videos - Shadow - 03-15-2019
What comes to this one, I am not sure which one is hurting more..... quite a "ride".
RE: Lion pictures and videos - Shadow - 03-16-2019
So many videos about fights, where another one gives up or not too serious. This one is a good reminder what it can be when there is no intention to give up just like that....

@Shadow :
About #1113 and #1115: yes quite impressive videos ! As you said no one lion wants to give up. But as concerns #1115, no one lion is seriously wounded. One of the two is just bleeding a lot, it's spectacular, but nothing more...
Do you know this fight ?
From a Frederic Rossif movie "Sauvage et beau" (in english "Wild and beautiful") in 1984, a masterpiece of the nature film:
From the same movie the part with the lion begins in this video:

Well, I don´t know if spectacular, depends how to look at it. But for sure painful when nose is ripped open like it looked like to happen there. I believe, that quite effective way to have any big cat to lose will to fight when it happens. Sound of hurt lionw, hen it happens is quite odd. I was wondering how badly that nose was injured, but some things stay mysteries... I hadn´t seen those videos, which you shared. Quite brutal, but it is what it is in wildlife.

But don't let us forget that many accounts about lions fighting each other relates some fights able to last several hours (an entire night...). A bloody brawl (as we can see in your video at #1115) and then a lull moment and they begin to fight again... And so on. On youtube we only see some short episodes. Often too the strongest one is able to harass, to exhaust the weakest one. That is the fights for a territory supremacy in general. In your video, that was only a fight because of lioness (lionesses), perhaps two these two males were sharing and reigning over the same territory. That is a bloody skirmish, but that's all !
Very often lions look like us, being able to seriously fight each other because of a female... Being a sociable big cat, they fight for two distinct (visible) main reasons: territory and females. As concerns the other felids, being solitary, the fights because of territory include the access of the females in question, i.e. living on the territory which the males are fighting for.

Yes, many different kind of confrontations and in different circumstances the one getting upper hand doesn´t let injured one to flee. My point to put that one video was just to put one video to show what it is when neither one is willing to give up without a real fight first :) So many videos shared lately where situation is, that much less is enough to get the upper hand and that of course isn´t the case always, being "the one" is quite brutal "business" in the world of big cats.

wow @Lycaon excellent. looks like cave lion furrr...
RE: Lion pictures and videos - Spalea - 03-17-2019
An other good movie relating the deep friendship between two cubs rather vulnerable, each of them being the weakest of the litter... All of it in a very harsch environment.

About #1123: There are so much documentaries like this one ! I'm always amazed to see how much the lions' characters and temperaments can differ and be different ! And to see some people speaking about them as they were derived from an unique model...
Another one, with two completely different males at the head of the pride, in the same harsch environment (Luangwa Valley), numerous interactions with crocs, hippos, buffalos:

When Nala wants to Play (mate) and Simba is too focused...
Beautiful and Strong Captive Lion Pair BTW.
