00:43 They can kill prey that is five times its size.

00:59 None of them even dared to approach him.

01:02 They know the intensity of his crushing jaw.

01:07 They turned away from the opponent in frustration.

02:39 It was meant to keep them all out of its area of influence.

02:45 Finally, the wild dogs were given a good meal to satisfy their empty stomachs.
