Ohhhh, I see! So this video was just a test to see which ones are most dominant? I hope this project will work, they have discussed about these kinds of rehabilitation programs using amur leopards and tihers as well :)
Hi @90Kirame . The lions also hunt live pray. This is a research exercise to enable the most dominant males to be identified to build the strongest prides. Because the project has to pay for every live animal the lions hunt (from $200-750 per pray) they have to supplement their diet with extra meat to be able to to afford it. These lions will be released into semi-wild environments and monitored. Their offspring who have never had any human contact will be released into the wild.

If these lions are going to be released back into wild, why aren't they hunting live prey? :O
