@Sanju :

About #599: An adult giraffe like this one can weigh 1200-1500 kilos... Yes, very great power and strength !

@Pckts :

About #598: amazing photo sequences ! 2 big maned bully against an infortunate warthog... Big energy expenditure ! I would believe these two males wanted really to confront each other. a sort of game in which the debusked warthog was only a pretext.


RE: Lion Predation - Pckts - 02-14-2019

Nature is extremely brutal. For one life to thrive, one has to diminish! Here, Benna one of 3 black rock males get his canine on one unlucky Warthog! Over the years, Benna has been beaten over and over again. His left fore leg is in bad state, but how actually did he got that pumba ?? Do you want to know? Stay tuned........

Yeah, I didn't watch this doc due to lack of free time. I'll definitely watch it later. Thanks for suggestion !

But, currently I'm looking for "latest" "new" Tiger documentaries (irrespective of the region and tiger variety) to give a watch.

Can anyone suggest a documentary I'm looking for (should be new or latest not old ones) ??? @Spalea @Rishi @Shadow

RE: Lion Predation - Shadow - 03-17-2019

This one is quite nice catch and lioness had to run really to get that zebra :)







RE: Lion Predation - Sanju - 03-18-2019

That was like "bam". Lightning speed, quick kill. Unforgivable mistake by wildebeest is to go against him instead of running away (still in danger though). WONDER when our Kuno lion do this soon. Happy

About #611: hell of a performance ! This lioness kills lonely a subadult giraffe, weighing, from its look, between 800 and 1000 kilos, that is to say 6 times its own weight... Like

No, a full adult giraffe has a more developed stature: longer and broader neck, stronger morphology.

Look at these ones and compare:
