00:17 In the wild natural world, hunting prey, if you look at it,
00:24 we'll see it as brutal and cruel, but that is also the survival instinct of the animals on the African grasslands.
00:32 Life is like a fight for survival. Bigger animals looking for smaller animals.
00:37 Today, let's learn about how lions attack and enjoy warthogs.
00:42 [Music]
00:51 Lions attack and enjoy warthogs.
00:56 Lion animals are known as the king of killing prey.
01:02 All the animals in the forest are their lucrative prey.
01:06 Thanks to the powerful weapons that nature has given them,
01:09 the lions have maximized that resource in hunting those weaker than themselves.
01:14 [Music]
01:18 All smaller animals live in vigilant terror, and the warthog is no exception.
01:23 [Music]
01:26 They are also one of the prey that the lions are very fond of.
01:30 [Music]
01:36 In a hunt, the most successful thing for a lion to observe and stalk the prey.
01:41 [Music]
01:45 When the time has come, the lion quickly attacks, runs fast like a wind rushing to the little warthogs,
01:52 and bites them right in the throat with skillful and decisive moments.
01:57 [Music]
01:59 The warthogs soon stop breathing.
02:02 On average, lions can eat up to 30 kilograms of meat in a day.
02:07 Because there are many failed hunts,
02:09 they will quickly eat all that prey to avoid attention from other vultures in the area.
02:16 If the lion does not eat all of it,
02:20 the lion will take the prey and hide it in a secret place.
02:24 [Music]
02:28 Warthog animals that are not too large,
02:32 more than one meter long with a height of less than 90 centimeters,
02:36 are the lion's favorite prey.
02:38 The distinguishing feature of this animal is that it has two pairs of fangs that protrude from the mouth and curve upwards.
02:45 Warthogs' defensive strategy is to follow the herd, protect it, and go in the middle.
02:50 They will often follow the group to avoid attacks from the enemy.
02:55 Usually, to be able to hunt for prey, lions will watch in advance,
03:00 then choose the opportunity to meet lost warthogs to attack.
03:05 The lion's method of attacking prey is to quickly run to it,
03:08 then bite the neck to stop the prey from breathing.
03:13 The times are extremely brutal.
03:15 They do not hesitate to attack to make their prey die like a bite,
03:19 impacting the prey with their sharp fangs.
03:22 After the young warthog died,
03:26 he quickly enjoyed his meal,
03:28 eating all the parts slowly until full.
03:32 In a group of lions, the mother is the one who hunts for her cubs.
03:42 The right time to hunt is at dawn or at dusk.
03:46 After a long sleep period of about 20 hours,
03:50 it's the time when they are most hungry and they need to recharge,
03:54 so the operations needed to be most accurate and definitive.
04:05 As soon as the target was identified,
04:07 the mother lion quickly ran over with quick legs.
04:10 It rushed quickly, accurately aimed, and bit the warthog's neck,
04:15 then took some more bites to let the warthog gradually stop breathing.
04:19 After killing the warthog, it carries its prey to enjoy.
04:31 The power of the lion on the grassy hills
04:34 is something that other animals living here must fear.
04:37 They have a lot of skills to hunt in the most methodical and fastest way.
04:42 The technique of embracing the prey and then biting the throat to make the prey choke
04:46 is the most commonly performed method by lions.
04:52 They know that if they can't breathe, their prey will quickly weaken,
04:57 so they don't need to lose too much strength to respond to the attacks
05:00 from the prey's defensive weapons.
05:03 Therefore, the hunts take place quickly, without spending too much effort.
05:14 In addition, they like hunting in groups.
05:17 Taking advantage or using their swarms to distract the opponents are also applied to hunting.
05:38 During the breeding season, the lion's herd will increase to about 1-5 cubs.
05:43 Because of that, the father and mother are not able to earn food for their children.
05:48 They begin to teach their stronger and more mature children how to hunt,
05:52 so that they can find food for themselves.
06:04 One of the first lessons that the male lion wants to teach his cubs
06:07 is to bite the throat to make the prey weak and then die.
06:11 Young children, it takes a lot of time to find a way to control the prey and then find the throat.
06:17 The manipulations are still slow and inaccurate.
06:20 It still takes a long time for them to gradually get used to and catch up with the hunting progress.
06:26 Male lions still need to lead their cubs many more times to support the cubs.
06:33 Life around the animal world is extremely rich and diverse.
06:37 Getting to know and trying to maintain life is what the animals are trying every day.
06:43 Sometimes life and death always exist side by side.
06:47 Each animal has its own living habits as well as the ability to defend themselves
06:52 and they are also adding to this life.
