Young Leopard vs Monitor Lizard While the Lamar Canyon pack (5 wolves) attempted to hunt a bison calf one of the adult males, Dark Black, or 993M now that he is collared, was scooped up by a bison cow's horn. The wolf was then somersaulted, with his legs and tail well above the bison's head, and then thrown to the ground where he skidded several feet before jumping up and resuming the hunt. Watch closely after Dark Black is tossed to the ground and you will notice that the second cow charges him. If the wolf had not immediately gotten to his feet he would most likely have been gored or trampled to death. As it is, Dark Black, escaped this harrowing ordeal with no visible injuries, although he appeared stiff and sore for a couple of days afterwards. People who have watched wolves for two decades said that this incident between the wolf and the bison was the most amazing thing that they had ever witnessed. Particularly since the wolf survived. The hunt attempt on the bison calf was unsuccessful but the pack did have an elk carcass the following morning. Edited by HugeHyena, Apr 6 2016, 09:36 PM.

Apparently, the Nilgai, or blue bull have killed bull eland From Exotics on the Range: The Texas Example by Elizabeth Cary Mungall "...The nilgai's short horns can kill even a large eland bull..." Page 20 "...A nilgai bull so tame that he would eat out of guests' hands picked a fight as soon as he was let loose in a pasture with a resident eland bull and killed him. An eland bull has been known to best a nearly grown ox and send him off wounded..." Page 84 |

Have you heard about the crocodile-eating lions on the shores of Zimbabwe's Lake Kariba? Bumi Hills Safari Lodge has shared extraordinary footage of a lion munching on a crocodile at the edge of the lake, one of Zimbabwe's most popular tourist destinations. In fact, two young lions from the same group are now regularly dining on crocodiles that they've killed, says the luxury resort. In the last two weeks the brothers have "dispatched" three large crocodiles measuring up to four metres. Catherine Norton, deputy general manager at Bumi Hills Safari Lodge told News24 that staff there first realised that the lions were killing crocodiles last year. "We first noticed this behaviour last year when we found two small crocodile carcasses which had clearly been killed and eaten by lions," she said. "We thought it was an opportunistic kill and was unlikely to be repeated," she added. But the staff was wrong. Now the lions are taking on much bigger prey. While a kill hasn't actually been witnessed yet, the lions' method appears fairly clear. They seem to be grabbing the unlucky crocs at the base of the skull and then flipping the creatures over to get to the jugular. There's even a suggestion that a certain amount of crafty teamwork is involved, according to Norton. It may be, she says, that "one lion distracts the croc whilst the other leaps on [it]". Lion attacks on crocodiles are not unheard of. Cases have been recorded in Kenya. Crocodiles occasionally attack lions at waterholes. But the kind of behaviour that the Bumi Hills pair are engaging in does seem to be extremely rare. Norton says the reason for it is not likely to be anything to do with a shortage of regular prey like buffalo, kudu and impala. These animals are still plentiful on Kariba's shores. Norton said, "We think that it is learned behaviour... When you think about it, killing a crocodile which could well be half asleep dozing in the sun is a lot simpler than stalking and chasing after an alert and nimble antelope." So is it dangerous for the lions and any cubs who might be around? "All kills are potentially dangerous," Norton told News24. "But not for cubs, as they are always kept well out of the way while the hunt is underway." Kariba is 360 kilometres from Harare. http://www.news24.com/Africa/Zimbabwe/watch-zim-lion-devours-croc-on-lake-kariba-20160310 Edited by HugeHyena, Apr 8 2016, 04:46 AM.

I'm wondering if that is incidental... if that the pelican just got caught b/c it was among a school of fish while the whale was also feeding... did the whale ingest it or spit it out?
