Lion Predation

[Psps77]

A video of a lion pride hunting an bull eland. The description of the video: 

"During our late Morning Game drive in Kusini Serengeti, Tanzania, We spotted these 3 Lions that were resting their day off under the acacia bushes, they looked very hungry like they failed pretty much all of their night huntings,

 
Since there wasn't much going on and no prey near by we started driving away to look for other more interesting things to shoot with our cameras, and as we were just leaving the area about 500 yards from where the lions were, There was a very spooked Adult Eland running towards the lions' direction, possibly running away from whatever the danger spooked him unaware of lions ahead in his path,
 
We slowly followed the running Eland and once the Lions saw him, they surely were so happy and warmly welcoming, and didn't waste no time to hunt him down, but since the Eland is a huge Antelope 500-900 KG, they struggled a bit to bring him down, jumped on him 3 times before bringing him down!"

Another video of the same user of young male lion killing an young bull eland. This is the second record kill of the eland by the lions in the area. The description of the video:
"We Saw this a group of bachelor elands running like something dangerous spooked them and this young Bull Eland was in that herd, there were 2 male lions resting under a tree and the elands saw them and that's what spooked them, one eland had a broken ankle and that was this one here which was brought down by This Male Lion who gave him a wonderful choke to death. This was in the #Kusini area"
