00:49 - Lions spend a lot of time sleeping.
00:58 They sleep for roughly 20 hours a day.
01:04 (dramatic music)
01:07 (dramatic music)
01:09 Although lions can be active at any time,
01:20 they are most active after sunset,
01:22 during which time they socialize, groom, and defecate.
01:26 (dramatic music)
01:28 (dramatic music)
01:31 Intermittent bursts of activity continue until dawn,
01:42 when hunting most often takes place.
01:45 (dramatic music)
01:47 They spend an average of two hours a day walking
01:57 and 50 minutes eating.
01:58 (dramatic music)
02:01 Female lions often hunt in packs,
02:14 preying primarily on huge ungulates.
02:17 (dramatic music)
02:20 (dramatic music)
02:23 Although some lions scavenge
02:31 when opportunities present themselves
02:33 and have been known to hunt humans,
02:35 the lion is an apex and keystone predator.
02:38 (dramatic music)
02:40 (dramatic music)
02:43 Zebras can be found in a number of habitats
03:02 throughout Eastern and Southern Africa,
03:04 including savannas, grasslands, and forests.
03:08 (dramatic music)
03:11 (dramatic music)
03:14 Lions prey on them mostly,
03:21 and they normally retreat when threatened,
03:23 but they can also bite and kick.
03:25 (dramatic music)
03:28 Zebras have a top speed of 64 kilometers per hour.
03:40 (dramatic music)
03:43 Lions can run at speeds of up to 80 kilometers per hour,
03:57 but only in brief spurts.
03:59 (dramatic music)
04:09 Lions with small hearts and lungs
04:12 don't have a lot of endurance.
04:13 (dramatic music)
04:16 (dramatic music)
04:19 Zebras can't run indefinitely,
04:42 yet they can run for almost a mile at maximum speed.
04:46 (dramatic music)
04:49 Within the first kilometer, their predators must strike.
05:01 None of lions can sprint for longer than that.
05:08 (dramatic music)
05:14 (dramatic music)
05:17 So zebra will zigzag and zigzag
05:22 until the predator runs out of energy.
05:24 (dramatic music)
05:27 But if the zebra gets caught by the lion's pride,
05:34 the zebra's life is definitely over.

06:20 Hyenas and lions have a wide geographic overlap
06:25 in their ranges.
06:27 (dramatic music)
06:29 When disputes occur, the hyenas normally have the upper hand
06:38 because they have their clan to fall back on.
06:40 (dramatic music)
06:47 Hyenas are more than capable of fending off
06:50 and holding their own against lions,
06:52 with a heart twice the size of a lion's, incredible strength,
06:56 jaw pressure reaching 1000 psi,
06:59 and intellect comparable to primates.
07:01 (dramatic music)
07:04 In reality, lions do exactly what hyenas do
07:08 when it comes to scavenging.
07:10 (dramatic music)
07:16 But lions are known to follow hyena calls
07:19 and literally drive the much smaller hyenas around
07:22 with their huge bodies.
07:23 (dramatic music)
07:26 That is why hyenas, as pack hunters,
07:29 take advantage of their numbers.
07:31 (dramatic music)
07:34 Hyenas were known to kill lions and carry their bones
07:40 back to their dens during the Pleistocene epoch.
07:43 (dramatic music)
07:47 (birds chirping)
07:50 Furthermore, several of the lion bones show signs
07:55 of having been chewed by spotted hyenas.
07:58 (dramatic music)
08:00 Sections of lion skulls have been cracked off,
08:08 lower jaws have a regular history of breakage,
08:11 and limb bones have been nibbled,
08:13 all of which line up with hyenas' unique
08:16 body dismantling techniques.
