The African savannah has suffered a once-in-a-century drought, and even the elephants, who are the overlords of the steppe, are not spared. In the face of extreme food and water shortages, the 15 migrating elephants and 5 adult male lions began to confront each other, and eventually they were almost eaten away by the lions.
With their tall size and strong physical superiority, elephants have always been the dominant position in the savannah. Other strong predators have always entered the water and not violated the river when facing the group, and they are at peace with each other.
However, nature is sometimes ruthless, and under the pressure of the living environment, often some seemingly impossible battles are silently fought.
Because of the arid climate, water in a savannah in Africa is dwindling at a rate visible to the naked eye. All species are migrating towards the Sawatti swamp, where there seems to be the only source of water for this prairie.
Some intelligent carnivores know that as long as they can stay here, then food will continue to migrate from afar. Apparently, lions belong to one of them, and some strong adult male lions have arrived here early, just waiting for the prey to take the initiative to come to the door.
And the result was just as the lion expected, from butterflies to birds to buffalo elephants, and a variety of prey allowed the lions to spend a period of comfort without worrying about food.
As the drought continues, it is clear that the water source of the Sawatti swamp is not enough to supply such a large group of organisms, especially elephants, which consume 200 liters of water per day. Thus began a new migration.
Just as the lions were preparing to migrate with the biota, a herd of elephants already afflicted by drought arrived late, unfortunately, because the Sawatti swamps had no water to supply them. A weak female elephant was overwhelmed, and after several struggles, she fell helplessly, and all this was seen by 5 strong adult male lions.
Yes, the frail female elephant eventually became the lion's meal, and the 5 lions tasted the elephant meat for the first time, and the water- and nutrient-rich elephant meat bloomed in the lion's taste buds and also sowed the seeds of battle.
Elephant meat is undoubtedly delicious for lions, which makes it unforgettable after they have tasted it once. Unlike the African "second brother" and vulture, lions like fresh food, so a tug-of-war between these 5 lions and the weak elephant herd unfolds.
However, nature does not care whether the environment in which the elephant herd is in the water is hot or not, and the lion does not care. After their first predation experience, lions understood that weakened elephants in their herds were their best hunting targets, afflicted by a prolonged lack of water and food.
Immediately afterwards, the elephants in the herd were broken by lions one by one, even including a newborn baby elephant. Nature is cold, and elephants have to meet their fate.
Just as the herd was about to be wiped out, a huge black cloud floating in the sky did not seem to want to see such an ending. As the rain fell, everything recovered and the elephant herd was able to breathe. Although this tug-of-war seems to end here, what incredible battles will take place on the grasslands? #I'm going to make micro-headlines##Animal##Elephant##狮子 #
