Incredible bravery from this young nomadic male lion. Didnt run away but stood his ground and gave few hyenas a serious beating while being bit several times. Very good video. Edited by jontsu, Apr 13 2013, 07:50 AM.

It's certainly one way to scatter the scavengers! |

Lions can just charge into a group of Hyenas and leave them scattered, with zero effort. They're appealing like that. |

 Brown hyena got too close to the Jamal pride this morning    The photographer titles this brown hyena but it is actually a striped hyena, I'm sure if I'm wrong someone correct me please  I found these images very sad, the look on the hyenas face, the shape it is in, the lion looks to have been injured on the front leg also. The photographer said the hyena was killed. Edited by TheLioness, Mar 18 2014, 04:32 AM.

Not all Male Lions are courageous, but the ones that are (there is variation just like with any other animal and humans).....DAMN they are brave animals!

The guy holding the camera was such a fucking tool....I was hoping the Lion would turn around and kill him What a fucking annoying douche. Male Lions are the most impressive Big Cat imo.....That looked like a damn big Male Lion to! Maybe 450lbs+ Edited by tigerburningbright, Mar 18 2014, 04:58 AM.

I'm sure that's a Brown Hyena, they tend to have striped legs too but the rest of the fur is brown. |

Yeah, the video is better when muted, it looked like they were having orgasms. |

At one point, Laura prophetically comments that it would be awesome if a lion came in and stole the kill. Well, a lioness saw the vultures decend and knew what that meant. M'tanganika was the first to spot her charging across the plains towards the scene laid out before us. In the photo below, you can make out a small dot in the upper center -- that is her.  As the hyenas notice the lion, they scatter. As she rushes into the scene, she is unable to locate the food. She trots from one hyena to the next trying to locate the food. When she didn't find anything, she went to see if the vultures had the food. That gave the hyenas the opportunity they needed. Two of them rushed to the carcass and each managed a small chunk of food before the lion rushed them and claimed the "lion's share" for herself.   The first thing the lion did was to lick the kill. I am not sure why. Maybe she had previous experience with porcupines and knew to smooth out the quills. Maybe she was licking off blood and getting some nutrition. Perhaps it was a way of replacing the hyena scent with her own. Maybe it was none of these. But it did make for a nice photo.  After only a few bites, she picked up her carcass and headed back in the direction she came. A few hyenas followed, hoping for some scraps. We watched her depart knowing that we had just witnessed something truly amazing. If I had to select a single photo from the entire African safari as my favorite, it would be the one below.  Notice the position of her ears. She is looking ahead but listening behind. The reason is evident in this photo:  An hour had passed since we started. We were hungry, hot and drained. Only one hyena remained; THE hyena, the one that started it all and made the original kill. It did not follow the other hyenas. He watched as the vultures flew off. When he was alone, he turned and headed to the porcupine burrow to procure another meal...  http://con102.blogspot.ru/2012/07/very-lucky-safari-family-or-not-good.html |
