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

Lion - hippo interactions... Into the water and on the ground. The french translation is catastrophic, completely shifted with bad choosen terms. But the vision of different situations easily shows what opponent is at disadvantage or not: lions trying to cross a river, hippos seeking a waterhole during the day and suffering from heat and drought and so on.

About #1082: amazing to see at the end how the lioness's jaw is small compared with the croc's head. But it's enough to annihilate the croc's resistance. Very astonishing video, because we seldom see a death of a croc online ! As what when a lion firmly holds a croc's neck, fight is over.

A perfect giraffe huntig by a pride of lions in a Tanzanian region hit by the drought. A giraffe couple chooses a moment to mate, allowing the pride to prepare the ambush. The males of the prides take part in the hunting but the lionesses leaded it.









" A pride of lionesses reigns supreme on the banks of a river in Tanzania. They are merciless hunters, unrivalled in their fearlessness and strength. These killers are feared by all the local wildlife.

But for the past few years, this region has been hit by drought, and a dam being constructed upstream has dried up the river’s flow. Whereas prey was once abundant, it has now fled the area, and the lionesses are struggling for survival. They resort to attacking the giraffes for food.

It's only a short video. Shame we don't see the end, only a male lion taking down a buffalo into water.

If she killed it alone it is an impressive kill. If a pride or group killed it, this is an incredible image
