In the clip, a lioness is stalking an East African black antelope, which can be seen easily gaining the upper hand as she sneaks behind and pounces on her prey.
It seemed that this would be an easy meal with the lions like any other hunt, but the black antelope showed that he was not an easy person to take down. It immediately proves the usefulness of the curved horns when actively pointing them backwards.
On the opposite side, the lion was trying to control its prey by jumping on its back, so it was pierced by its horns. After struggling for a while, the lion was too painful to let go of the prey before jumping into a nearby lake to escape.
On the shore, the mighty antelope did not run away, but stood there, pointing its horns at the lion as a reminder that it is always ready to make any challenger bleed.
Thanks to the unique weapon that nature gives, this antelope can effectively fend off the attacks of lions and leopards. In fact, many hunters have died from being pierced by the horns of a black antelope.
Despite their impressive defenses, black antelope populations are still in serious decline due to disease outbreaks and destruction of their habitat.
