Lions and the Cape Buffalo: The Takedown and Kill

Ouch. Thanks for the replies

Just curious, but is it common for the predator to feast on the reproductive system of the preu right away? I read where male bears fighting try to maim the rivals testicles with intent.

@lgalardi The rear end have soft tissues that are easier to chew into. They always start from the rectum then eat the internal ograns first. The internal organs have more proteins than muscle. e.g Wolf pack leaders will always eat the kidney and liver first because of his rank.

@lgalardi Rival males fight instinctively -- not only for mating rights, but also to ensure that only the strongest gene pool is passed down to the cubs. Survival of the fittest!

@lgalardi the fastest was to incapacitate a man is to kick him in the nuts. I'd assume chewing them off would produce a similar effect.
