This incredible scene was recorded by Hannes Beeslar, a teacher in Nelspruit, South Africa, while visiting Kruger National Park.
Specifically, when being chased, the young deer tried to jump over the lions blocking the road to escape but failed. The lions quickly seized the opportunity, pounced on the deer and threw it to the ground.
Despite struggling to escape, the young deer still had to accept their lives in the siege of 4 lionesses.
“When we were driving on the H4-1 road between the Lower Sabie and Skukuza regions. A pack of lions suddenly emerged from the bushes and walked on the road. The two lions then headed towards the bushes and started chasing. chase the stag towards the rest.
At this point, the deer jumped across the road and crashed into the lions. This is a quick and easy meal for them,” Beeslar recalls.
The lion is one of the most feared carnivores across the grasslands of Africa. When hunting, lions also follow the herd under the main lead of the lioness. Each lioness will have a unique role in the herd.
Thanks to their superior strength, plus possessing sharp teeth and claws, they can defeat many other animals for food. The fastest way to kill prey that African lions often use is to attack the respiratory system of the prey, bite or tear the throat.
