Lion Behavior and Hunting Strategies

The video explores the life of a lion in Africa, focusing on its hunting skills and social behavior. Lions are well-equipped predators with sharp teeth, claws, and agility. They hunt in prides, using their acute hearing to stalk prey. However, their stamina is limited, making long chases difficult. Cooperation and competition are key during hunts, as lions work together to bring down prey but compete for food. Lion cubs must learn to secure their share to survive. After feeding, lions engage in social grooming to strengthen bonds.
