00:00 Their roles resound throughout the forest, with powerful footsteps exuding majesty.
00:11 Yes, these are lions.
00:17 They are known as the lord of all things because of their physical strength and extremely skilled
00:22 hunting techniques.
00:28 Join us today as we explore the young lions' first hunts to see how they journey to become
00:34 the kings that dominates the jungle.
00:39 The Young Lions' First Hunt
00:43 From an early age, these young lions have been trained by their mother and taught how
00:53 to hunt.
00:58 They learn all their skills, tactics, and tricks to be able to survive in the best ways.
01:10 The lions reach maturity at about 3 to 5 years old and they weigh between 100 to 200 kg and
01:19 have a running speed of up to 80 km/h.
01:25 They are also capable of challenging and displacing adult males attached to another pride.
01:32 Let's see how these young lions attack their prey.
01:39 The young lions started their first hunt and they chose the target of a wild buffalo to
01:45 practice what they learned hunting techniques.
01:50 The lions began to approach the wild buffalo and perhaps they were still confused and surprised
01:57 when they first faced such a large animal.
02:03 To defeat their prey easily, the lions often hunt in groups, especially female lions.
02:10 When hunting in groups, lions can grip larger prey while others bite the neck or suffocate
02:16 the prey by locking the victim's muzzle.
02:20 In order to kill their prey as quickly as possible, they often put all of their strength
02:25 to knock their prey to the ground and pin it down to prevent it from escaping.
02:39 Because their opponent this time possessed strong horns and could pierce the opponent
02:44 easily, the young lions attacked from behind to avoid the buffalo's counterattack.
02:57 However, everything that happens is still quite confusing and not really difficult.
03:15 These lions need to practice hunting techniques more in the following attacks.
03:26 This time, the young lions defeated the wild buffalo and the prey tries to protest, but
03:33 there is no chance for it as the lions finish it off with a bite to the throat and the other
03:45 lion is still patiently biting the prey and the other lion's job is to tear the meat and
03:51 enjoy the fruits.
03:56 With a medium and larger size prey, the young lions will easily attack and defeat it.
04:02 However, they need to know how to coordinate smoothly with each other to unite and make
04:09 full use of the powerful attacks to have the desired results.
04:15 And this time, when the food source was exhausted, the young lions started a new hunting journey
04:23 with a vision six times more sensitive to light than that of humans.
04:30 The lions caught sight of the warthog and they begin to stalk and attack their prey.
04:39 Speed is the biggest key to success in this hunt as the warthog has been defeated.
04:53 Because usually when hunting, the male lion will have priority to eat the first prey and
04:59 then the female and then the young.
05:04 But the harshness of the environment has forced them to keep food for themselves as this male
05:12 lion was lucky enough to steal the meal.
05:20 Small prey like a warthog could not provide enough food for all of these young lions because
05:27 an adult lion needs an average of 5 to 10 kilograms of meat per day and they do not
05:33 need to drink water for four days but they must eat and lions can eat carrion when given
05:40 the opportunity.
05:41 Therefore, in order to provide the necessary energy for a long day, these young lions are
05:50 forced to risk their lives to hunt larger prey.
05:54 An adult buffalo weighing between 300 to 900 kilograms would provide extremely filling
06:02 meals for the lions if they succeed.
06:06 The lions began to approach the position of the prey as they began to observe.
06:12 The wild buffalo has yet to detect the presence of these fearsome predators.
06:18 These lions possess sandy yellow fur that blends with the color of the dry grasslands.
06:24 They can easily camouflage themselves without the fear of prey detection.
06:31 It seems that these young lions are still waiting for something.
06:36 Perhaps they are not confident enough to attack the aggressive buffalo.
06:41 In addition to training powerful hunting techniques and attacks, the young lions need to have
06:49 certain confidence.
06:51 They need to be reckless and dare to confront the stronger animals in order to become great
06:56 leaders and rulers in the wild world.
07:02 It can be seen that lions are always ready to attack and defeat any opponent if it is
07:07 within their ability.
07:10 These young lions have had successful hunts, but they are still not really confident and
07:16 show their inherent physical strength.
