This thread is here so that we can study the behavior of Wild Lions conflicts. It is recommended to post images, videos and information when two or more wild lions in confrontation/fighting.
It is also request that write a conclusion note about the final outcome. You can describe their technique, agility, experience, size and many other factor which decide such outcomes.

This is not VS debate, rather we love to have a sensible study based on real facts.

So this is new video from Latest Sightings





3 male male lion attacked and younger male lion and injured him badly. Though elephants and hippo interrupted the fight, but injury was enough for the young lion and he ultimately succumbed to death.

Well, I think Wild lion irrespective of numbers, prefer to wreck the backbone and legs thus immobilizing the enemy. They always attack from behind to other lion and if they got good hold, game is over for the victim.

A very intense and emotional sighting as the coalition of 3 powerful dominant Mjejane Male Lions managed to isolate and attack 1 of the youngest of the 6 young males that have been vocalising and scent marking in their territory. The brave young male had no chance as the other 5 youngsters were nowhere to be found, it seems they were all separated during the night. His spine was broken and he succumbed to his injuries very quickly. We knew it was going to be a matter of time before the 3 big males defended their turf and offspring from the 6 young intruders but the 3 were not together for some time in different parts of their large territory along the Crocodile river. The 3 finally located each other after a few days and joined in a brutal show of force to the remaining 5 youngsters, who seem to have been a little over eager and confident too soon. They definitely underestimated the reaction of the 3 dominant males, it will be really interesting to see how this story unfolds and if the 5 remaining males stick around in the area.

Some interesting male Lion dynamics currently unfolding as 6 confident young male Lions have arrived in the area of Mjejane Game Reserve along the Crocodile River in the Southern Kruger National Park. 1 of the coalition of 3 current dominant Mjejane males was quite rightly very unhappy when he found them in the area. He was on his own and quite outnumbered so he wisely decided to move back across the Crocodile River to Kruger National Park to locate his coalition partners. The young males have been roaring and vocalising their intentions, the 3 bigger established Mjejane males will most likely defend this portion of their territory against the 6 young challengers but it will be interesting to see what unfolds and if the 6 stick around.

" The presence of the buffalo in the lions' territory has attracted the attention of a rival pride. The intruders are formidable -- and their presence will not be tolerated. As Renoka and Lakan prepare to defend their territory, the stage is set for a vicious confrontation that will have tragic consequences. "

I put this here, even though old clip. Reason is, that this is one is one of the very few if not only video in which can be seen how powerful swipe hits other lion quite perfectly. With force and effect usually not seen. In countless of videos tigers and lions are swiping each others with no effect, even though it´s often claimed, that they can crush skulls of cows etc. with single paw swipe. Usually it´s not the force of the swipe, which makes any real effect really unless claws hit the right spot.

This video then again show, that when swiper has good balance and can concentrate weight and force behind swipe, it can have effect. When looking at how more dominant lion (obviously) swipes the other one down at approximately 1:06-1:10 it can be said, that fight was over just like that even though there was some minor action also after it. I think, that other lion learned respect and fast when finding itself on ground in split second. Was it a lucky shot or something this more dominant lion had learned to do, who knows, but it still show what kind of force there is and can be, when everything is spot on. I bet, that some smaller animal would have been rolling over for several meters from that swipe and maybe deadly injured just like that.

A young male lion is going to be expelled from the pride because it becomes a little bit too enterprising with the lionesses. And that, the ruling male cannot tolerate.

Tension within the pride... Are these males some newcomers ? Have they eliminated the subadult males ? No explanation delivered...

3 young Toulon male lions against two but more experimented Mapogo lions. No miracle...







" The Mapogo Lion story: Mapogo Lions vs. Toulon Lions - Mala Mala report of 10 June 2009: During the morning drive, the Mapogo (Mlowathi) males Mr. T and Kinky Tail were found south of West Street bridge. They moved southwards searching for something, and finally came to rest close to Rattray’s Camp on the western bank of the Sand River. The three young Toulon male lions (Dominant Toulon, Shy Toulon & Diamond Face) from the buffalo kill were found fat and fast asleep on the eastern bank opposite Rattray’s Camp. In the afternoon, both sets of males got active. The young males - still full - didn’t move far, while on the western bank an unseen threat approached. The Mapogo males got active early in the afternoon and continued their quest from the morning. Searching along the river, the two males headed for the position of the younger coalition. Crossing the river, the two Mapogo males picked up the scent of the other males and made straight for them. Once a male lion picks up the scent of its enemy it becomes silent, moving through the veld with murderous intent - and these two males were intent. Surprising the three sleeping males, the two dominant males set about their task with gruesome ambition. Springing to their feet, the young males tried to defend themselves - but without much success. They were soon overpowered. Turning and running, the three youngsters split up - trying to escape into the darkness. The Eyrefield males gave chase. In the ensuring fight, rangers were able to catch glimpses of skirmishes as lions flashed past the spotlights. Eventually, as the roars subsided, the Mapogo males regrouped and came back to the river to drink. The three youngsters had vanished. "

Video dated from the 18th November 2020.

Nothing serious, two big males ruling over a pride, interested by the same lioness. But the strongest one put back in place his partner.

Quote:Honestly , I found this video very interesting , it shows two lions fighting for females , but what calls my attention is how they fight , they " do not use " so many paws to kick , when I see it , it seems that they use more to grab and bite to hurt but not seriously

Studying the behavior of wild lions during conflicts is a valuable way to understand these magnificent creatures better. Here's how such observations might unfold:

1. Initiation of Conflict: The study might begin with the observation of two or more wild lions encountering each other, possibly in their natural habitat like the African savannah. Conflicts among lions can occur for various reasons, such as territorial disputes, mating rights, or competition for food.

2. Recording: Researchers and wildlife enthusiasts would carefully record the interactions. This would include taking photographs and videos to document the behavior of the lions involved. Factors like their gender, age, and overall physical condition would be noted.

3. Behavior Analysis: Observers would pay close attention to the lions' behavior during the conflict. They might assess the lions' techniques, such as roaring, growling, or physical combat. Agility and experience would play a significant role in determining the outcome.

4. Size and Strength: The size and physical condition of the lions would be crucial factors. Larger, more robust lions might have an advantage in terms of strength, but agility and speed could be crucial for smaller lions.

5. Conclusion Note: Based on the observations, a conclusion note would be drawn. This would include an assessment of which lion(s) prevailed in the conflict and why. Factors like teamwork (if multiple lions were involved), individual skills, and overall fitness would be considered.

6. Learning and Conservation: The insights gained from these observations would contribute to our understanding of lion behavior and help with their conservation efforts. It's important to note that such studies aim to observe and document natural behaviors without direct interference.

These studies can provide valuable information for conservationists, researchers, and anyone interested in the fascinating world of wild lions.
