There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

I don't know why an apex predator like the lion would evolve to play dead. The lion seemed very desperate for a meal and was giving it one last try. He wasn't in that bad of a shape either so idk why it didn't just simply try to get away, maybe it had some sort of injury but who knows. I just googled it and an this is what I found.

Oh ok, well I guess it did die, but that was two days later, I mean the lion did pretty good while it was fighting the bull, it didn't directly die from it in the actual battle, it just was two weakened from no food, so it must of got a horn or two in the head, but yeah it totally playing dead, that's what they do, so the bulls don't no whats up, then the lions spring up for the attack again.  You can tell becaz its totally still like dead then all of sudden right when the bull turns its head even a little, the lion is back on its feet and on the attack.  Pretty amazing.
