Lions have great vision. The brightest sunshine won't blind them. And in low light, they can see six times better than humans.
They can hear prey from a mile away.
And their sense of smell is so keen they can tell how recently the prey passed.
Lions will take on prey more than twice their size.
A full-grown zebra can weigh nearly half a ton. One kick from those hooves can break a lion's jaw.
Lions are sprinters, not marathoners. They can hit 35 miles an hour, but only for a few seconds.
So they team up, approaching their prey from different angles.
Zebras learn to keep their distance, but one zebra is about to violate the first rule of the safari: Always stay with the group.
The lion will go for the typical deathblow: Crushing the wind pipe, while the team keeps their prey from getting away.
Of all the world's cats, lions are the only social anima, especially at dinnertime.
After a kill is made, males always eat first, then the females.
What's left goes to the cubs. Often not enough. Most will not survive into adulthood.
