amazing lion takedown! Buffalo bull brought down with ease by two crater male Lions! 



 

Oldies but goodies.
I love how male lions face their prey in the open, sometimes they strafe left and right but still  prefer a ''domination game'', always imposing a bold posture, in comparison with other cats huntning style which are based on the element of surprise,''only''.
The reason why a Ngorongoro male would probably wreck any big cat in his path.


 


 

Hei Nice to meet You! Yeah Lions especialy males are very cunning and bold. 
Hunting heavy prey in The open is far harder than with ambush such as kruger Lions, leopards and tigers are usualy hunting. 

Be carefull making a statement like that crater Lions would take any other cat, I'm not saying you're wrong or right, but some people are very sensitive in cat vs cat comparison, and it would make this whole thread be off topic! But IMO The most hardcore lions would be Lions in The Moremi game reserve. not only are they very big, but also said to be very aggressive. 






 

 

Yup, keep the L vs T nonsense out of it.

Back to the original point, It is irresponsible to claim that cats only hunt one way. All cats use surprise attacks or face down their prey. Lions are easier to see in the wild making hunts and they face down their prey because it distracts them to allow others to attack from behind. 

How do you think Tigers kill Rhino, elephant and Gaur?
Animals that large dont run, they fight. 
Even the smaller cow Gaur fought back against raja.
