There are n’t many predator that can kill a fully turn elephant , but a adolescent elephant is a different level . When they ’re unseasoned , social lion can take down an elephant if they require to . And it is n’t a pretty hatful .
In universal , the big cats snap the necks of their prey or exit them to last before travail into their lovesome meal . It seems harsh , but compare to the circumstances of jejune elephants , it is actually quite humane . Because of their thick necks , lions are n’t able to choke elephants . So once the elephant becomes overwhelmed by the cats , the cats start eating their fair game while its still active .
Lions do n’t typically go for elephant . But in drouth - ravaged Botswana , one filmmaker work forEarth Touchfound a pride of hungry lions who had no selection but to get hold food where they could . Because this footage is so concentrated to watch , we ’re not embedding it ; if you ’d care to see it , cluck here .
This is the kind of stuff you do n’t usually see in nature documentary , but it is as much an integral part of the instinctive creation as are the more sorcerous aspects of animal behavior .
