It was movement, when that bull fell which made it go almost full vertical, it had nothing to do with fore paw strength :) Lions are strong, but not that strong, big bulls like that can be easily 600-800 kg. Big cat´s can´t even drag that big animals more than a few meters max. with extreme efforts.

Awesome hunt though, from it nothing can be taken off from this male lion. He made it look like easy. One of the most amazing performances I´ve ever seen from big cats, very nice find @Spalea .

A big fit bull is much more robust than this skinny older bull.

When you see a real alpha bachelor, you know they aren't going down to a lone lion without an immense fight.

It doesn´t change it, that this lion made that hunt to look easy. There are many other clips showing, that some lions obviously know what they are doing while others struggle. That is of course same with all species, some are better than others in certain things. Reply
