The lion is seen planning an assault on a herd of zebras and wildebeest that is grazing in the field in the video.
The lions’ plan initially succeeded when they actively separated the herbivores into two groups. While the other lions continued to pursue the large group, one lion broke off the pack, chased the small group running in the opposite direction and caught a young, immature zebra.
The lion quickly grabbed its prey by the neck, knocking it back to the ground. What seemed to be an easy meal, suddenly appeared another zebra, apparently the mother of the restrained horse.
Without hesitation, the zebra bravely rushed in, even using its own head as a lever to pressure the lion. The horse’s fierceness and strength forced the lion to temporarily let go of its prey.
But soon after, the lion continued to attack. In one segment, it seemed that the zebra was in danger when it was almost jumped on the back by a lion.
In the midst of danger, it was quick to use a unique kick to kick back, to hit the head of the predator, making the “big cat” stunned and had to give up the game midway.
The incident was recorded at the Maasai Mara reserve, Kenya (South Africa), when no less than 20 hyenas banded together to surround the lion and emit menacing cries.
Despite the difference in size, the hyenas recklessly approached the lion, hoping to subdue the enemy with a “swarm” strategy. They constantly circle around to make the lion lose strength, then suddenly attack. Some have even bitten the lion’s tail and face.
However, the male lion is not easily subdued. It responds to all attacks, and successfully knocks down a hyena in the presence of the surrounding wild beasts, sending them fleeing.
However, the hyenas did not give up. While the lions were absorbed in their prey, they once again seized the opportunity to rush into a mad bite. This time, the lion had many wounds, and showed great pain.
Even so, the proud beast stood firm and easily knocked down any enemy who dared to come too close. The lion’s strength and tenacity surprised observers, because they did not think it could fight so many enemies at once.
The battle between the lone lion and the hyenas is gradually coming to an end. The daredevils gradually gave up, no longer daring to harass the “king”, and the lion calmly enjoyed his “trophy”.
