00:03 We all know that people admire even the appearance

00:13 of the lion.

00:14 It has a smart, confident look, a luxurious mane,

00:17 and a strong and agile body.

00:20 This animal really deserves a royal title

00:22 in the animal world.

00:23 In this video, I'll tell you all the most interesting things

00:27 that are known about lions today and also show the most amazing

00:31 shots captured on camera.

00:32 [MUSIC PLAYING]

00:36 The image of the lion as the king of animals

00:38 has been known to all of us since childhood.

00:41 It has a powerful, but at the same time slender and even lean

00:45 body, while its head is extremely massive.

00:48 The paws of lions are low but very strong.

00:51 Of all cats, only lions have a brush at the end of their tail,

00:55 and only these representatives of the feline family

00:58 are characterized by pronounced sexual dimorphism, i.e.

01:02 the difference between males and females.

01:05 The male is distinguished by his magnificent mane covering

01:08 the neck, shoulders, and chest.

01:11 In addition, lionesses are smaller.

01:14 Lions are divided into several types.

01:16 These are Asian, Senegalese, Barbary, North Congolese,

01:21 East African, Southwestern African,

01:23 and Southeastern African lions.

01:27 White lions can also be found once in a while.

01:30 All these varieties differ slightly

01:32 in size and appearance, but the lifestyle and habits

01:34 are about the same for all lions, regardless of habitat.

01:37 [MUSIC PLAYING]

01:43 Lions often hunt antelopes, but the black antelope

01:46 is one of the most dangerous because it

01:48 has incredibly long horns used for self-defense.

01:52 This buffalo was unlucky since two lionesses

01:55 attacked it at the same time, but its relatives

01:58 came to the rescue.

01:58 [MUSIC PLAYING]

02:02 Lionesses often chase a buffalo with a whole pride,

02:05 and when the animal is exhausted, they attack it.

02:08 But this time, they were taught a lesson.

02:12 Despite the family ties, the lion

02:14 is not adverse to hunting a cheetah or its cubs.

02:18 There is no place for pity in the animal world.

02:21 Only the strongest survive.

02:23 Despite the fact that the cheetah runs faster,

02:25 sometimes it still becomes a victim of its larger relative.

02:30 Kudu is another type of dangerous antelope

02:32 with long horns.

02:33 The hunt for kudu was filmed right on the road.

02:37 Two strong lions finished off their victim

02:39 right on the roadway.

02:42 But most often, lions hunt wildebeest.

02:44 Even though the horns of these animals are not too big,

02:47 it is not so easy to overcome them.

02:50 The lions choose the weakest antelope from the herd

02:53 and attack it.

02:54 In this video, the lion and its victim

02:57 look like wrestlers fighting in the mud.

02:59 Of course, there are not many chances for wildebeest

03:03 to survive.

03:03 [MUSIC PLAYING]

03:09 Lions also hunt zebras.

03:11 And although these cute animals seem defenseless,

03:13 they often manage to fend off the lion with the help

03:16 of their strong hind legs.

03:18 Not this time.

03:19 [MUSIC PLAYING]

03:26 But the most difficult thing is to hunt a giraffe.

03:29 This African giant is hunted by a whole pride.

03:32 And even the lion participates in the chase,

03:34 although hunting is usually the business of lionesses.

03:38 Such a hunt can be successful only thanks to good teamwork.

03:43 A few strong lions can even take down a buffalo

03:45 if they act together.

03:48 This lioness thought that the buffalo calf

03:49 would become easy prey, but it didn't take into account

03:53 that its mother was nearby.

03:55 Perhaps the most defenseless animal in Africa

03:57 is the warthog.

03:59 It manages to get rid of the lion

04:01 only by burrowing into the ground.

04:03 But the predator often gets its prey even from under the ground.

04:07 [MUSIC PLAYING]

04:13 Sometimes lionesses try to hunt a hippo.

04:16 But if the hippopotamus is young and healthy,

04:18 then lions have to run as fast as they can to survive.

04:21 [MUSIC PLAYING]

04:35 The hippopotamus is by no means the only animal that

04:38 can fight back against lions.

04:39 Just look at this guy.

04:41 It went on the attack and bit the lioness by the nose.

04:44 [MUSIC PLAYING]

04:53 And it's better not to mess with a honey badger.

04:56 It doesn't care if it's the king of the jungle.

04:58 It won't let anyone hurt it.

05:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]

05:03 It's hard to say where this little beast got

05:04 so much courage, but it has repeatedly

05:06 proven that a brave heart is much more important than size.

05:11 But the most important and longstanding enemies of lions

05:14 are hyenas and hyena-like dogs.

05:17 Lions have to fight with hyenas for territory and prey.

05:20 [MUSIC PLAYING]

05:25 A pack of wolves could easily tear apart one lion,

05:28 despite the fact that the lion is much larger and stronger

05:31 than the wolf.

05:34 A buffalo can even deal with a lion alone.

05:37 And if you have to deal with an entire herd,

05:39 then the lion has no chance to escape.

05:41 [MUSIC PLAYING]

05:47 Lions are not very good at climbing trees.

05:50 They are much worse at it than their relatives, leopards.

05:53 But they are still better than buffaloes.

05:55 And sometimes, this skill saves a lion's life.

05:58 [MUSIC PLAYING]

06:02 [MUSIC PLAYING]

06:09 No matter how dexterous and strong a lion is,

06:12 it is better not to engage in a fight with an angry bull.

06:16 Just look at the length of these horns.

06:18 Imagine what will happen to a predator

06:20 who dares to attack this giant.

06:22 [MUSIC PLAYING]

06:24 The lion looks more like a sultan than a king.

06:27 After all, the king has only one queen,

06:30 and the lion has a whole harem, which is called a pride.

06:34 The lion's task is to protect the territory,

06:36 and the lionesses have to hunt.

06:39 But there are exceptions to the rules.

06:41 The head of the family helps to overcome a large animal.

06:44 Sometimes, there are several males in the pride

06:47 who are relatives, but this is rather an exception

06:50 to the rule.

06:51 Upon reaching puberty, male lions either leave the pride

06:55 and become lone lions, or try to overcome their father

06:58 and take his place.

06:59 Sooner or later, one of the lions

07:01 succeeds because the lion is getting old,

07:04 and a younger male takes its place.

07:06 In addition, solitary lions are trying

07:09 to find a pride whose head has already

07:11 weakened to take its place.

07:14 Lionesses are very good and caring mothers,

07:16 but if a lion can be compared with a sultan,

07:19 then it's difficult to call a lioness its slave.

07:22 If they are unhappy with the behavior of the lion,

07:25 they have enough strength to show it who is the boss here.

07:29 In addition, do not forget those lionesses bring food

07:32 to the lion pride.

07:33 Lions are smart enough, and despite their harsh disposition,

07:44 they are well-trained.

07:45 A well-fed lion will not attack a person

07:48 if they do not provoke it.

07:50 On the other hand, a predator is always a predator.

07:53 It is difficult to guess how an animal will

07:55 react to a given action, so cases

07:58 when a lion attacked even close people are not that rare.

08:02 Nevertheless, the friendship between a lion and a man

08:05 can be found in the world.

08:07 These dangerous cats are able to experience tenderness,

08:10 show affection, and care for a person.
