The male lion and several lionesses will be "attacked" by a bison, and they will be forced to retreat? Is this really something that can happen in reality?
Adult lionesses are 1.8–3 m long (including tail) and weigh 100–230 kg. Adult male lions are generally about 3.3 meters long and weigh more than 240 kilograms, and their main diet includes bison.
However, the current situation is that this bison, which suddenly "killed" halfway, scared a male lion and three lionesses who stayed here half to death. Looking at the several lions that were "chased" by bison and jumped around, it was really confusing: don't male lions and lionesses know to turn around and fight back?
In fact, male lions and lionesses can compete with the bison who "don't know how to be evil" in front of them.
The bison weigh 300-900 kilograms and are 2.1-3.4 meters long, and even the male lion has no chance of winning against it alone. But three lionesses and a male lion have every chance to catch the bison, and even if it is not good, you can "teach" it and let the bison understand who is the first king of the grassland.
So, the bison knows that the other party is not easy to mess with, and if he wants to make such a blatant provocative behavior, is he not worried that the lion will really turn his head in anger and "repair" himself?
Having said that, the current reality is that male lions and lionesses are being driven from beginning to end, and in the face of the imposing bison, the lions are completely less domineering than before.
In fact, the lion's "escape behavior" is not unreasonable. The African savannah is full of dangers, and large herbivores such as elephants, rhinos, bison, etc. are grumpy creatures, and they are also the "culprits" that kill the continent every year.
If male lions and lionesses do not pay attention, they are likely to be "counter-killed" by these herbivores. Video recordings show that bison herds are able to kill adult lionesses or even male lions in sufficient numbers or by chance, indicating that African bison are highly threatening to lions. The fundamental reason is that the speed of both sides is comparable, both around 60 km / h.
Moreover, the bison have a good IQ, and the group members have a close relationship with each other, and they hate lions who often sneak up on their companions, and will absolutely kill each other when they have the opportunity.
Not only that, but larger elephants and rhinos will not have a "good face" for lions, and they can often see rhinos or elephants "fine" to drive away, stepping on the behavior of individual or a small number of lions resting in the shade, but because the speed and physical reaction ability are weaker than bison, so there is little chance to approach and hurt lions.
It seems that the lion as the "king of the steppe" is not having a good time, and it is not as beautiful as people imagine. It's just that male lions and lionesses don't have the leisure to think about this, and they try to evolve themselves just because they don't want to be abandoned by the times.
For lions, only faster and stronger have a chance to catch more prey. Filling their stomachs and reproducing is the ultimate goal of their survival. #奇妙的动物第二期 #
