00:00 The dry season comes on the vast grasslands.
00:08 Herbivores no longer have food to live in this place.
00:13 Forcing them to look to distant grasslands in search of a source of life.
00:17 That leads them to the lions food source is no longer as abundant as before.
00:30 Hunger and thirst are always present in lions.
00:33 They can only find small prey that must even hunt at night to have enough food for the
00:40 whole herd.
00:41 So in the dark do lions have different ways of hunting than in the twilight?
00:46 Let's find out in this video.
00:51 Lions Hunt in the Night.
00:58 On the vast savannas of Africa, each animal has to find its own food source to sustain
01:04 life.
01:05 In the dry season, when the green grasslands turn yellow, the herbivores have all gone
01:11 looking for fresher pastures, leaving the desolate, lifeless fields.
01:17 It was also a difficult time for carnivores.
01:20 On the grasslands, there are no available large delicious animals as usual.
01:27 But they must eat smaller, less attractive animals.
01:30 And that forces them to hunt at night when other species are tired and less alert.
01:38 Lions fell over the ragged forest.
01:41 All living things are sluggish, longing for a good night's sleep after a long, dry, tiring
01:46 day.
01:47 At that time, it is also a good opportunity for lions to find a modest meal for their
01:52 day.
01:55 Lions patrol their territory to find some good food at night.
02:00 Bloodthirsty animals are hunting.
02:03 With their hungry stomachs, they are forced to find some prey to survive the harsh, dry
02:08 season.
02:09 The Egyptian goose were caught in the lion's sight without even knowing it.
02:18 Darkness swallows everything.
02:20 Only those who are as sharp in the night as lions can see everything.
02:25 As always, the lion approached the goose step by step.
02:32 Just a little more precisely.
02:34 The lion had his supper.
02:36 However, today is an unlucky day for the lion.
02:40 The pair of Egyptian geese.
02:43 Time to jump up, narrowly escaping the predator's claws.
02:47, Originally, the failure of the hunt was extremely
03:13 bad for lions.
03:16 But with the situation of failure in the season of food shortages, how worse and more disappointed
03:22 the lions were.
03:24 Even so, they still have to keep looking for prey in the dark.
03:29 The lions were all very hungry and tired.
03:35 Days of constant famine left the carnivores shriveled and lifeless.
03:40 Their hungry eyes in the dark night are looking for a meal for their family.
03:53 The night fell and swallowed the forest.
03:56 The darkness thick and black.
03:59 The lions are still marching in search of delicious prey.
04:06 The cubs must also follow the adult lions in search of prey.
04:11 It seems the lions have targeted nearby prey.
04:14 A wildebeest.
04:15 A rare large prey in a dry season like this.
04:22 They were not allowed to fail in this hunt.
04:25 Although not too big, this wildebeest is enough to help the lion family survive this forensic
04:30 hunger.
04:32 Lions are gifted with sharp eyes that can see very well in the dark.
04:37 This is its advantage when hunting at night.
04:45 They hunt in herd as usual.
04:48 Still with its skillful hunting skills it began to stalk, gently shortening the distance
04:53 and approaching its prey.
04:56 Their tactic is to surround their prey and when reaching a close enough distance, just
05:01 waiting for the prey to ignore it, the whole herd will dive and bite.
05:07 However the lions decisive blow was the bite to the neck.
05:11 They finish off their prey by biting the neck and suffocating the wildebeest to death.
05:17 Before the mad attack of the lions, it became a hunger satiating meal for the whole lion
05:26 herd.
05:27 They devoured, fighting each piece of meat with joy and excitement after a time of hunger.
05:33 The scarcity of food caused them to compete with the rest of the herd to win every bite.
05:40 Although there were few, the lions also had a meal for a long day.
05:45 The night comes, the lions become active again.
05:48 They begin the journey to find and defeat the prey.
05:54 With the likeness and dexterity of lions, they move like ghosts in the night, scary
05:59 and quiet.
06:01 Its hunt is only noisy when there is a head on collision with its prey.
06:08 With humans it was obvious that nothing could be seen in such conditions.
06:13 But this is a good opportunity for lions to hunt.
06:17 They are still hunting as usual.
06:20 As a surrounding, a wild buffalo.
06:23 With the same old attacks, the lions approached and at the same time pounced on the buffalo.
06:28 They used their sharp teeth to bite the tail and back to make the buffalo disorientated.
06:34 It struggled with all its might, using its strength and sharp horns to drive away the
06:39 lions.
06:40 What an unlucky day for the lions, they failed this hunt.
06:44 The lions were forced to find other prey to satisfy their hunger in this night.
06:49 During the dry season, finding and hunting becomes extremely difficult.
06:54 Lions do not only have to compete with other predators for prey, but they also have to
06:59 compete for food with their own group.
07:02 Each lion must eat at least 5kg of meat per day to maintain strength and life.
07:07 Therefore each hunt in this season is no longer enough to share with the children of the herd.
07:13 Life has never been so difficult for them.
07:17 After the meager meals, their eyes seem to expect the rainy season to come soon, bringing
07:22 back an abundant food source for their family.
07:25 In the dark of night, they do not need to work hard on such hunts anymore.
