This guy's built like a tank. Impressive forequarters.


 

Doubt he made the kill, just dominated the carcass, Like males do. You can see quite a bit of the carcass already removed from the buffalo, so I am sure its been dead for sometime.

 

 

@Pckts, what about this video leads you to believe this lion didn't make this kill by himself?  If he is merely dominating the carcass of a kill made by others, where are the other lions that would no doubt want their share.  He looks too relaxed.  I don't think any other lions are present.  By the looks of his gross bloody mane, it appears as though he has been working on that buffalo for quite some time.  While it clearly isn't the freshest kill, there still was plenty of meat on the carcass at the time of the video... yet where was the rest of the pride?  I think that big boy might have been working alone that day.
