Lions hunt worse than most predators in Africa, but they are still called kings (6 photos)

Do you also not agree that the lion is the king of all animals? Do you consider these woolly arrogants to be empty space? Have you read somewhere that they don’t know how to hunt at all? Well, there is an opportunity to restore universal justice! Go to Africa and tell these kings everything you think about them, right in the face! True, you can only do this once in your life!







As always: monarchs sit on the necks of the common people!

So, the main argument in the conspiracy against the king of beasts is low hunting rates. It’s really hard to argue with the statistics: lone lions overtake their victims only 15% of the time. This is even less than that of domestic cats: our Murki and Barsiki can boast of a 32% success rate! How does this happen, kings don’t even know how to get food?!



Hey Alex, what are you doing?..

Don't rush to conclusions. As a rule, lonely lions from statistics are young or older males. Both of them recently left their pride. The former do not really know how to hunt due to their inexperience, the latter, on the contrary, are a bit old and decrepit.





Haven't you watched The Lion King? Now Mufasa will come and scatter you all!

If we consider the statistics of the lion pride, then the success rate of the hunt will be already 50%! Not bad, but still far from ideal. Wild dogs, for example, catch their prey in 60-90% of cases. However, here again we are dealing with errors in measuring success.



This is me trying to fight off Barsik and Murzik, who are asking to eat at 3 am.

Wild dogs are one of the smallest African mammalian predators. And lions are the largest among them. Do you get the connection? Yes exactly! Leopards do not have to try their best every time to get food. Because it can be taken away! In dogs, cheetahs, leopards and in general in everyone! No one will even dare to squeak against it!



Is there any meat? What if I find it?

Not only is the lion the largest land predator in Africa, but it also works together! And this is the second trump card in the big cat’s paw. Thanks to this, the furry rulers of the savannas are able to kill prey that other hunters wouldn’t even bother with. Only a pride can defeat an adult buffalo, hippopotamus, giraffe and even a young elephant.
