00:00 Fighting scenes between animals are common occurrences in nature, but if you don't know,
00:16 that the fight scenes between animals that are enemies of each other take place much
00:20 more intensely, as these are often one-on-one battles where both sides of the opponents
00:26 try to win for themselves. And even if the animal is the famous king of the jungle, here,
00:34 for a better look, let us follow the most interesting battles for the perennial natural
00:39 enemies in nature.
00:45 The Top 3 Moments When The Lions Go To War With Their Natural Enemies
00:52 Natural enemies have long been understood as animals that have an antagonistic relationship
00:57 and can destroy each other. This relationship is not rare in nature, so we can easily come
01:06 across it as the king of the jungle, as not surprising that lions also have their own
01:12 natural enemies. And even more than that, the battles with their natural enemies were
01:20 fought with unpredictable results.
01:26 The buffaloes living in Africa have a noticeable feature that is a large, curved, and sharp
01:31 horn, forming with the body a continuous bony shield called a hump. As this buffalo is considered
01:43 a very fierce and aggressive species, they can run at speeds of 50 to 60 km/h, and more
01:51 dangerously, they are said to have gored and killed about 200 people a year. And in addition
01:58 to humans, the African buffalo has a few other natural enemies, including crocodiles, leopards,
02:06 hyenas, and especially lions, their biggest enemy, as lions kill and eat the buffalo regularly.
02:19 And usually due to their large appearance, lions often have to go in groups to successfully
02:24 hunt this species, and therefore, there are only isolated cases of adult lions knocking
02:30 down a larger buffalo with their own hands.
02:40 As the lion, despite being seriously injured in the head, still resolutely held the buffalo
02:45 with his hooves, the buffalo used his head to try and knock the lion to the ground, and
02:51 because he was tired, the lion lay down for a while and then got back up to chase the
02:57 buffalo and bite it on the back, and the buffalo had rocked the lion away with difficulty,
03:03 and even though its horns did cause the lion to be stabbed quite a few times, but the difficulty
03:10 increased for the lion when the buffalo's herd had appeared.
03:17 The buffalo is one of those species where the herd has a huge supporting role. Whenever
03:22 a predator looks at them, they will stand close to each other, making it difficult for
03:26 the enemy to choose the weaker prey to attack, and when a member of the flock calls out for
03:31 help, the whole herd will try to rescue it together.
03:36 And realizing that his friend was in need for help, another of the herd had rushed to
03:43 gorge the lion a few times, thus causing it to let go. But helpless, the lion was laying
03:54 on the ground while the herd of buffaloes had kept watch over the lion for a while as
03:59 a precaution, as the scenes of wild animals fight fiercely not only because it is a one-on-one
04:09 battle, but also because of the disparity in numbers and the strength of each warning
04:14 party, as it gives us a better look at the wildness of the African jungle.
04:22 The leopard and the lion form a long-standing rivalry as they battle each other for food,
04:28 and it is not uncommon for a leopard to be robbed by a larger animal like lions or hyenas,
04:35 and therefore they often carry their prey to a safer place in the trees to avoid being
04:39 watched by other species, as leopards do not always successfully avoid the lions, and although
04:47 they compete for food, they sometimes fight with each other for other reasons.
04:54 This leopard has a big problem when it is alone against a group of lions. The surrounding
04:59 lions had tried to attack the leopard one after another, but the leopard wouldn't let
05:04 go as it has created a solid defense for itself when lying down with its back firmly planted
05:11 on the ground and its four legs raised so that it can easily respond to all-around attacks
05:17 from the lions, and although this defense was effective, the battle could not last forever,
05:30 and with one last vital bite, the leopard was defeated and had collapsed under the lions'
05:40 claws.
05:43 In Africa, there is another species that often encounters lions, which is the hyena, and
05:52 due to their unsuitable body structure for hunting, they often spy on the prey of other
05:57 carnivores, including lions. However, encounters between them and lions rarely result in a
06:05 loss of life due to the hyenas or herds, so that other animals can take advantage of an
06:12 opening to rescue the attacked individual, as most lions also only attack them for the
06:19 purpose of protecting food, and not only stealing their food, but with their greedy and reckless
06:25 nature, the lions who are lost, old or injured are also often targeted by hyenas.
06:35 However, a hungry lion can attack any animal around it, and even more unlucky for this
06:45 hyena when it was alone at the time, and with a single bite to the neck typical of the lion,
06:53 the hyena loses its life and becomes a meal for the lion to butcher, and unlike the relationship
07:03 between the hunter and the hunted, between carnivores and herbivores, the type of natural
07:10 enemy relationship between animals brings much more drama because in a war between traditional
07:16 enemy it will often rely on its battle that feels bloody and wild, as these attacks mostly
07:23 happen by surprise due to the aggression from either side, but the results it brings will
07:31 help us to have a more objective and multi-dimensional view of the unpredictability and the drama
07:37 in the world where mother nature rules.
