This video while filmed by spectators, is unbelievable!

What amazing footage of teamwork, unity and the resulting strength.

Too bad human beings can't learn to come together like this and work as a team.

    That's incredible, but how about a fucking focus button by the photographer. You can't see shit half the video.

    It's a low resolution streaming video. Haven't you ever used youtube?

    It's doubtful whether the calf survived that though. The lions had it for a while there before it got away.

    True. That poor calf was getting gnawed on by like five lions and then a fricking crocodile. Lions aren't very quick killers are they? How amazing was it that he was able to walk away though?

    anyone been on safari? ... was talking with someone last nite who has as well and the weird thing is that about a day into one - all you want to see is something get killed by something ... :| ...

    that would have been cool to see - beats watching a baboon jerk off and eat his own spooge ...

    You can't see it on this clip but they normally cover their victims nose and mouth with their mouth to suffocate them. I watch way to much Discovery.

    You're probably right. While it dod look like at least one lion was trying to sufficate the calf by covering it's mouth; the other lions were digging in with their claws and gnawing of some of the soft-underbelly and such.

    It's likely the calf could have suffered infections from the wounds, or bled out from the wounds.

    Yeah, they do that.

    Depending on the size and type of prey, a lot of times one goes for the throat, while the other lions try to gnaw on limbs and the soft-underbelly.

    I've seen several videos where at least one lion in the Pride immediately attempts (and often succeeds) in tearing open the soft underbelly.

    One thing I've noticed with larger and bulkier prey, lions often try to jump on their backs and tear open the flesh, there. Whether through biting or clawing, they seem to try to inflict some nasty, deep wounds to the back area. Wonder if they are trying to get to the spinal column or if the deep wounds to the back.....in the hot sun, causes the prey's flesh to burn?

    i think it's cuz they can't get kicked there ... animal has no defense for the back area ... i could be wrong tho ...

    You could be right. That seems like a very good point.

    Crushing the windpipe is probably the main method used by lions to finish off prey....that is if they can't snap the neck of the victim or cut through some of the main veins/arteries that tend to run through mammalian necks.

    The odds are long....but the calf could have survived...thick skin and what-not.
