july 15th, 2015: Lion Dining
Don't you hate it when you go to a restaurant for a special dinner and they lose your reservation you made eons ago? Then when you press the issue, calmly explaining through clenched teeth how important this occasion is, the uppity hostess gives you a table right in the flight path of the kitchen and restrooms?
Then you can sympathize with these lions. Quote:

It's even more unusual as it tends to be the females that hunt. The males watch the pride (so much for the "natural order" of things!)
The kudu slipping over was probably the lion equivalent of someone dropping their kebab.

That's true for Lions who have a pride, but male offspring are driven off when they become obnoxious teens, so there are always extra males who are too old, too young, or not badass enough to win fair maidens. Unless they're in heat, with no sugar daddy, females avoid them to protect their cubs. The extra males, especially siblings, hang out in street gangs for mutual protection and hunting.
In this case, when the Kudu went down the first Lion jumped it from behind and held it until his bro rushed over to grab the throat. If the first Lion had been alone, the Kudu would have probably suffered much longer. From the BBC Quote:

Great IOTD!
Looks like the kudu shit its pants when it saw the lion. There's a huge pile in the road. |

I guess I just didn't think about the ones who left the stage in the nature programmes. Boys still gotta eat, and if there's no wimmin to make their sandwiches, then they better learn how to do it themselves
