When Lions Work Together Against a Hippo !!
Transcript
00:00 The pride of the lions has been starving for several days.
00:08 A lion can go a week without food.
00:13 But it is the fifth day and this pride knows that they are desperate.
00:20 In this situation, no one should rest.
00:24 Every lion should seek suitable prey to satisfy every member of the family.
00:30 Opportunities may not be repeated.
00:35 This three tons of meat would leave no one hungry.
00:40 With only five adult lionesses, it would be so difficult for them to overcome it.
00:49 It's a dangerous undertaking.
00:51 A hippopotamus can peer straight through a lion.
00:59 If they wanted to take down a hippo, they might need the entire mega pride to do this.
01:08 The hippo have fled and the lionesses are returning to their families in despair.
01:21 That night, the mega pride returns unsuccessful and hungry.
01:26 So far, they are still looking for something to fill their empty stomachs.
01:33 It looks like this big one hasn't left the area yet.
01:39 In a clash between size and numbers, both predator and prey consider their options.
01:48 The female leader makes her decision.
01:52 The hippo tries to flee, but this time she has the support of the pride.
01:59 To feed, the lions must knock the hippo off balance and pull it sideways.
02:05 The leader tries, but the rest of the family hangs back.
02:10 Brutally, they tear at the hippo's spine and rear.
02:16 Without help from a mature male, a bloodletting may be all they get.
02:22 But the hippo is not staying around for that.
02:26 The females press forward.
02:29 The adolescents are listless and uncoordinated, unsure what to do next.
02:38 The hippo takes advantage of the standoff.
02:42 One of the lionesses didn't see it coming.
02:45 900 kilograms of pressure clamped down on her skull.
02:54 With the pride still distracted from the vicious attack, the hippo flees.
03:07 This lioness is badly injured.
03:12 Only rest will bring some healing.
