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.

Lion predation on the African Black Rhinoceros

"In Npvember 1937, during a period when the Old Tukai district was very low in prey, Taberer heard an acute groan. Gone with his land rover, their headlights revealed/showed him a nightmare scene: the poor rhino of the lodge had been litterally throwed by two male lions which, lying on him, "searched through" him with their teeth and claws."

So he came across it, never witnessed it occur?

The crater one in 1892, same thing, he just came across the corpse.


This is also a bit suspect
"Wahlberg has effectively seen an attack of a rhino by several lions. The fight was terrible and the big beast was finally killed by the big cats. A Wahlberg's compatriot ,C.J. Anderson shooted at a rhino: a couple of lions attacked him immediately; despite his serious wounds, he succeeded getting rid of felids, but was killed next morningby the hunter."

So they shot the rhino which was then immediately attacked by lions?
Then the lions didn't succeed in killing it so they shot it the next morning and finished it off?

Even if these actually happened, none portray a scene of pure predation imo.
