That's the most Boss Lion I have ever seen Holy Cow. Was that a Bull or a Cow it took down? Surely he didn't have time to give any feaces about being stepped on by an animal many times larger than him. He was hungry and he demanded to eat now.

Coconut Crab predating Redfooted Booby



"In early March 2016, Laidre watched as a coconut crab snatched an adult red-footed booby sleeping on a low-lying tree branch, tearing it from the branch and snapping its wing. Paralyzed, the booby struggled as the crab held on with its powerful claws and kicked with its legs."

Male Lion kills Wildebeest.



^ Thing to look for is the way the lion gets the throat of the wildebeest, negating the horns.



^ The Lioness uses a similar strategy to get the throat and negate the horns.

The Toco Toucan (Ramphastos toco) is known for the singular beauty of its great beak. Most of its diet contains fruit, being one of the main seed dispersers, an important action in the maintenance and recovery of forests. However, it has a feature that places it among our predators: eat bird eggs and chicks, a way to get protein. The Toco Toucan is one of the main predators in Buraco das Araras Ecoturismo, being monitored throughout the year, mainly in the reproductive period of the red-and-green macaws. In this video, we show the predation of chicks of Buff-necked Ibis (Theristicus caudatus). Are you curious? Read the fresh article on this predation!

That's amazing...that rhesus is a bit on the small side but given teeth it's definitely a male. Those yellow throated martens maybe the most dangerous weasels pound for pound due to their cooperation.

Yes, they did the same thing to a three year old wild Giant Panda: http://carnivoraforum.com/single/?p=8716519&t=9674652
