Thanks to their large size, sharp teeth and claws, lions easily become one of the most feared predators across the African grasslands. This is also the reason they are named after the lord of the grasslands. But sometimes they also fail in bloody battles with giant elephants.
One quiet afternoon, he happened to come across a male lion looking for food when he spotted the baby elephant drinking water near the lake. The baby elephant was walking alone and there was no sign of any large elephants nearby. Initially, the male lion did not rush to attack but quietly observed and approached the subject.
The cunning male lion took a step back, feigning fear in front of his prey. The young, inexperienced elephant thought it was over and caught off guard. Immediately the male lion jumped up from behind, hugged the baby elephant’s back and knocked down the prey in an instant.
With combat experience, lions quickly knock down prey on the ground. The poor baby elephant is struggling to cope with the pursuit of a cold-blooded predator. At this time, the female lion appears to help the male lion handle the spoils. Then, the male lion calls the whole herd to tear the prey.
The male lion in the video above used the tactic of watching and waiting for the right moment to attack the experienced young elephant. It also pretends to be scared to deceive its target and make a surprise attack. Lions often hunt in packs and have a smart approach to prey. In this case, the female lion showed up just in time to help the male lion handle the prey.
Thus, with sophisticated hunting experience, the male lion quickly defeated the ill-fated baby elephant in just a few seconds. The short video recorded has attracted more than 695 views and 639 comments, capturing the moment that moved viewers in every detail.
