We think of the lion as the king of beasts -- the perfect predators -- built to make a swift clean kill -- but think again. Now spectacular footage reveals another side to this hunters killing power. We follow a family of lion cubs as they start out in life. Seven out of the eight cubs are male -- for them the clock is ticking, within two years they need to learn to hunt before setting out and finding new territories of their own, to avoid treading on the toes of the dominant pride male. The cubs hunting lessons are perhaps not what you might expect; instead of ambushing their prey and quickly despatching with a clean bite to the throat, these lions wrestle their victim to the ground and tuck in before the hapless beast is dead. When the prey is a young elephant, it means a slow and painful death. Are these lions behaving badly or is it simply that this is what lions do?

  • yes to us,very hard to watch..thats life..i love wildlife..all aspects

  • @jakeharmsful .support killing lions? nature doesnt kno cruel..if u dont like it,dont watch..

  • If Nat Geo ever does an episode titled "Youtubers Behaving Badly", I shall expect a call.

  • 5:00 Best "I'm ready, bring it" face I've ever seen.

  • thats a horribly painfull way to go....... but they might do it cuz the buffalo come back and attack the lions before they can suffocate the victim, so if they start eating it right away they will likely keep their kill cuz its already half dead, its smart really....but horrible......

  • @RifaeySHJ i know right! i really cried after seeing this ;(

  • Awwwwwww that poor little elephant. It's acts like this that make me support killing lions. How cruel, I can only imagine the pain that baby elephant was going through.

  • poor elephant :S
