Lion Predation

[Pckts]

The fact that the buffaloes entire midsection is gone. ^^^ Considering it would take a lion multiple days to eat that much meat himself. 20kg of meat, which is what a lion will eat in one sitting will satisfy him for a day or two. There is far more than that missing from the buffalo, is there not?
It is far less likely that he made the kill himself, since no body has ever seen or captured it on camera before. Also don't know if its a bull or cow, how it died, what condition etc.
It definitely can't be used as conclusive, and since more often than not, the pride is the contributor to the kill and male lions dominate the kill, that is the more likely account.

What?
No where does it state that Bulls are a ton, in fact the report I posted says that bulls very rarely if ever exceed 1500lbs, 500 lbs less than a ton. 2ndly, you are talking about the freak shows of the cape buffalo world. Like finding a 300kg tiger or 250kg lion, its a rarity let alone a lone lion taking one down. Be realistic and the study I showed shows that Male lions went after buffalo with the mean or average weight of 420kg or 900+ lbs. Right in the normal range for bull buffalo. Reply
