Famous as an animal that specializes in stealing other people’s prey, however, hyenas still have to be “good” when confronting the Lion King.

In the cat family, the lion is the second largest species after the tiger and is the only species that lives in a social organization consisting of families and herds.

A lion pride will number from 10 – 40 animals including many adult males, female lions and their cubs. The more members a lion pride has, the more prestige it has, and the more male lions it has, the more power it has.

It can be said that, like a big family, a pride of lions is led by a healthy male lion, however he will not go looking for food or participate in many activities but will take on important tasks. “noble” such as ensuring the safety of the entire herd or dealing with territorial invaders.

It is easy to recognize the head lion of the herd, because of its majestic and majestic appearance, with a very thick and erect mane on the neck, which protects the neck area when fighting and attracts the affection of the lion. children. The older the male lion, the darker his mane.

Female lions will be smaller in size and more agile, suitable for hiding and stalking, so they will mostly take on the task of hunting.

Unlike other species in the cat family, lions rarely hunt independently but gather in groups, including many females. Each female lion will have a unique role in the group. Flexibility in arrangement makes lion groups extremely elite when hunting, able to take down large prey such as buffalo, wildebeest or even elephants and giraffes. …

Just like a house needs to have a roof, every time a female lion works hard to bring back food from her prey, the male lion is the first to enjoy it, then the female, and finally it’s her turn. old and weak lions and young lions.

The order when “eating” is clearly defined, but occasionally there are cases where female lions break the rules, leading to collisions like the clip below.

 

Accordingly, the staff in the Masai Mara Wildlife Sanctuary accidentally came across the image of a lion team taking down a wildebeest.

It seemed like the whole herd would have a happy lunch, but no, trouble happened. Controversies about the priority order of “snatching” among the lions and the appearance of hyenas have made things complicated.

It can be seen that the male lions have gained the advantage and tried to be the first to possess the meal. Meanwhile, the hyenas loitering nearby, although very hungry, show no signs of wanting to rush to compete with the lions.

This is understandable because with the strength and number of lion members present, robbing prey, which is the mainstay of hyenas, becomes an impossible task.
