Deadly Hunters
It is a common belief that lions are the jungle’s top apex predators. Well, there is some truth to it, except that it is the female members of the pride that are more capable in terms of hunting. The lions are, in fact, the guardians of the pride. When a lion takes over the pride from the previous alpha, it would slaughter all the unweaned male cubs who weren’t it’s own. Meanwhile, the lionesses are the pride’s hunters due to their speed. They may not be as fast as a cheetah, but still very quick. Much quicker than lions; approximately a third as fast as a lion. Lions move at a 35 mph average, whereas lionesses move at a 45 mph average. Right there, lionesses have a distinct advantage when it comes to hunting. So, what do you think this particular lioness would do?

Unpredictable Gesture
Predators are not always just. Most of the time, they prey on victims depending on their physical state, favoring young, aged, ill, or injured victims. You’d think that when a lioness spotted this small, helpless fawn, it would end up as minced meat. But that’s not what happened. The lioness, however, just cradled this small creature between its paws. It’s reasonable to wonder if the lion’s benign demeanor would be maintained in light of his fearsome reputation. Its ordeal was really perplexing and frightening!
