You are welcome. Follow those wildlife photographers and you’ll see some uncensored pictures and videos. Natgeowild mutes and edits some, so they don’t mess with your head.

Okiibe:


Please, I have been uncomfortable since I heard of the clam that male Lion does not hunt, but the Lionness does the hunting.

Is that claim true?

Zimri:
KEELBACK: THIS IS A SNAKE YOU SHOULDN'T EAT AT ALL. IF YOU EAT IT FAREWELL! LALA TAKE NOTE

SlayerForever:
I didn't realize wild dogs are this formidable.

ThierryJay:


If you checked my ranking, you'd notice I put the tiger and jaguar as more dangerous than the lion.

It's just that Lions with their mane appear majestic and coupled with their confidence, this magnifies their strength and contributes to their regal status.

DonX001:
Great thread.
Fascinating pics.
The commentary/captions make it all the more interesting, almost even more than the pics themselves.

Good job Zimri.

It would be good to link to the source too, for due credits. You can do that in the OP.

bassette:
can you please drop some of the twitter handles of these photographers If you have them. Would love to see to up close and personal pictures of life in the wild

PerfectlyPerfect:

Venomous means it needs to be injected directly into your bloodstream though the skin while poisonous means it'll cause harm when eaten.
That particular snake gets it poison from the poisonous frogs which are it's primary diet

Grandmeister:

They dint eat those who are from the same cat family but will kill them to eliminate threat to their young ones and reduce competition for food.

Zimri:

MESSI AND RONALDO FAN. GATHER HERE

donsheddy1:
An interesting read though.

pocohantas:


I feel lions are overhyped, in fact they are. Any attempt to give them more honor than they deserve would be countered by me. On their own they ain’t shit. All of them, male and female alike. The females are at least more useful to the pride.

Zimri:
MAY WE NEVER BE UNFORTUNATE. RIP PIGLET

THE LION IS AT A GREATER PERIL

bassette:
Hehehe I feel so too but they are magnificent in sight. Saw one at a zoo and was wowed. Especially fully grown male with the mane is a lovely sight. King of the jungle but indeed they rarely do so much in terms of activities in the wild. They just positional creatures

Zimri:
SPEED IS VERY IMPORTANT HERE

donMIG:
The snake u said we should eat
Doest it have a name?

Zimri:
PAYBACK!

flyingpig:
the claims that lions don't do much is false information. A lion is a fighter. Born to fight. He gets chased out just before he becomes an adult, sometimes wanders into the dangerous wild alone. Do you know how dangerous it is to hunt solo in the wild? Lions are pack hunters, the females hunt in a group in order to successfully win their hunts. How much more an adolescent lion hunting solo? He takes lots of horn digging from bulls, oxens, get several kicks, make very little successful hunts due to his solo hunting, gets attacked by several packs of hyenas who intend to kill him and eat him(no joke about this hyenas hunt and eat lions), he fights the herd till his last breathe, if he survives it makes him even tougher and stronger with sore wounds that tell stories. These go on unabated for years no less than 5years, when his mane is fully mature he searches for a pride to take over and when he sights one, it is a battle to death with the dominant male lion of the pack. Sometimes he loses and scurries away with large bleeding wounds, which he'll have to use and hunt, and defend, in order to survive. In the end he'll have to find another pride to take over and procreate. If he ever successfully does, it does not end there, he fights other hyenas for the female lions because hyenas come to steal their cubs and eat. One male lion can take on 5 adult hyenas and kill them all. See dude the life of a male lion is a tragedy. It hurts me when this new campaign to dethrone them and overlook them as lazy sleepers who don't do much, goes around the internet. How else does a warrior prepare for battle if not to rest enough and heal from previous fights, how well will he fight other hyenas, join hands to bring down heavy size bulls, kill off leopards and cheetas that kill their cubs, if he does not sleep and rest well ahead of the fight ahead. Man, a lion is a gladiator.

Exmilitant:
That's a lioness. Talk of sticking together? Not if you are picked off one by one. The Lion is still the undisputable KING of all beast.

lhawarl1:

speed and endurance is important... painted dog hunt by chasing their prey till exhaustion.. so if you are fast,
not a problem for them .. they will keep chasing till u cant run anymore, they have pretty good stamina

Esanboy111:
Only one animal kill snakes with ease and the name of that animal is Goose...

Actually speed is very useless here. Agility and stamina is the most important cos they won’t rest until the animal dies.
