In the dry season, when food sources are scarce, lions have to choose humpback pigs as prey. Although this is one of the species that is quite cunning and agile, but with the ability to coordinate groups and outstanding strength, the “lords of the grasslands” still get the desired result.
Like these two lionesses, excellent stalking and good coordination helped them hunt a sizable hump, enough to satisfy hunger in the dry season for both.
However, when they could not kill their prey, the two lionesses were attacked by the male lion. With the nature of a “fierce lord”, the male lion was determined to compete for the humped pig with his 2 “wives”.
Unfortunately, the fight for food by the three lions created an opportunity for the hump to escape.
Although he quickly chased, but in the end the male lion had to give up because his prey ran too fast. It is known that this scene was recorded by engineer Cobus Visser while visiting Marloth National Park in South Africa.
Lions live 10–14 years in the wild, in captivity they can live more than 20 years. In the wild, males rarely live more than 10 years, as a result of constant fighting with other like-minded competitors. They usually live in savannas and savannas rather than in dense forests. Lions have a different social behavior than the rest of the Cat family with a herd lifestyle. A herd of lions consists of females and their cubs along with a small number of adult males. Groups of lionesses often hunt together, mainly hunting large ungulates. They are key carnivores and mainly eat raw meat, although they will also eat carrion when given the opportunity. Some lions have been known to be able to hunt humans, although this is unusual for them.
One of the most widely recognized animal symbols in human culture, the lion has been widely depicted in sculptures and paintings, on the national flag, and in films and literature. nowadays. Lions have been kept in captivity since the time of the Roman Empire and have been a key species sought after in zoos around the world since the late 18th century. The lion’s cultural depiction is outstanding. in the Paleolithic; Carvings and paintings from the Lascaux and Chauvet caves in France date back 17,000 years, and depictions have occurred in most ancient and medieval cultures coinciding with previous and current ranges of lion.
