The lioness got gored under the throat and through the mouth, damaged right eye, a brain hemmorage, and who knows what else. What's remarkable - she completely healed in less than a WEEK.
We live on an amazing planet, people. Simply amazing.
Basically if there were Full Grown Male Lion there i bet they would have won the Full Grown Male LIon has the strength to take down a hippo but that young male lion didn't.
@IamJohnyD Because he did not have the opportunity to do so. They were constantly at his back, but one of the lions was in the wrong position, and the others were in the right one, so the hippo used this to his advantage.
I watched this yesterday, they would have probably taken that hippo down if they worked toghether better but the young lions let them down by not even being interested, if the Pride Lions were there the hippo would have gone down for sure.
Also Tallbrooklynguy the lions went for the hippo because they hadnt eaten in a week......hunger makes for desperation.
That lioness survived though even though it was suffering a brain haemmorage and a pierced mouth and damage to its right eye.
there must have been 10 on the attack. he killed one of them and would have killed more if he didnt find water.
the narrator missed something more important "2000 pound on her skull"? thats only a small part of it. what about 2 foot long tusks and a row of other teeth piercing through her brain.
Lions know to only hunt large animals that are sick and injured. maybe it was because they were adolescent.
This is a bad choice of prey and it cost them dearly.
"2000 pound on her skull" eh it's not like the hippo is sitting on the lion...i dunno but kudo's to anything who can put the amount of bodyweight in their jaw.
Its not 2000 pound in terms of body weight you fool. It's 2000 pounds of force! Add to that any teeth which wouldn't even need that much force to pierce that lions skull.
a hippo can weigh up to 6000 pounds. they they have the biggest jaws in the animal kingdom there is a video on hippos jaw pressure. they tested it by putting a watermelon in the hippo mouth. the hippo crushed it like it was a marshmellow. theyre huge and extremely powerful. look at the way that hippo grapped that lion and flung her around like a rag doll. thats a 250 pound animal.
That hippo totally owns
