If you are wondering why some of this video is now obnoxiously blurred out – this was my attempt to get the video monetized again after YouTube decided to suddenly demonetize it. They have remonetized the video, but I will keep the blur just in case that is what helped them reverse their decision. Its unfortunately a very opaque process so I am just guessing here. If you want to watch the unblurred, SCANDALOUS version of this video with lions eating, head over to Nebula

Lion is my number 1 favorite animal. Great video
The diversity of wildlife always amazes me
Why do you blur the Zebra eating part blurry…. this is disrespectful to reality….
Tiger is way deadlier
Boo @youtube for demonetizing science and nature videos
So why not tell us the Siberian tiger is the largest, would that be so hard.
Epic
The mane is a shield. Why do you think they attack each other's legs? They are attacking the vulnerable spots.
Today I learned Lions play with team que and insta lock their favorite role
“Jagwire?” c’mom…
2:12 What she talks about here is the lions that attacked people who were building the East African railway. A dramatization or movie inspired by these events was called "The Ghost and the Darkness" with Michael Douglas and Val Kilmer if you have never watched it.
Please don't censor wildlife video.
I think you forgot about a tiger
There’s no such thing as evolution only adaptation look at pimps and prostitute same as a lion lionesses god made us this way
If you really want to know all things Lion, you should hope to get Dr. Craig Packer conversing with you about them as I did. As someone who spent over 35 years in the bush observing them, no one on Earth is more knowledgeable. He's very soft spoken.
Whomever said that Lions are the only social cats have not seen a feral cat colony go to town on a dog or seen two of them cooperatively hunting a mouse. These little buggers seem to be running the same OS as their bigger bretherin.
I love them all ❤❤❤
Europeans need always to have something … ' cave lion were once in Eurasia ' and the proof printing from 'France' … really … may be also there were painting in Africa dealing with the ancestors of the 'Barbary lion ' and may be those pictures were stolen by Europeans from Africa ( giving their long history of stealing ) .. So 'cave lion' is a folk story .. keep it away
They really are impressive animals.
The way media over the past century tried to downplay them at every turn with disingenuous comparisons, may be some of the biggest animal PR injustice ever.
I think snow leopards stopped roaring because loud sounds like that can cause avalanches
Easily the best video on the channel
How is it the scientist came to the conclusion that the male lions attack everything else other than the neck so that means the mane isn't there to protect the neck🤔 Clearly it's also used to show dominance… If you can win a fight without fighting…that's still a win.
Ayaya 24:49 thought that voice sounded familiar…………. YT recommendations……………………………………………………..
Farm cats live in social groups… sometimes help raise kittens
We're overthinking this, because an 'untreated' saliva bite from any living animal will (with time) become grossly infected. But 'where' an animal in the wild is being bitten matters quite a lot. Komodo bites are strategic enough in that they always target an animal's legs. An infected leg (again with time) will definitely make them much slower and far more vulnerable when pursued. Likewise increased amounts of saliva (again from any animal bite) would more likely than not accelerate the severity of infection. 😀

Instinct cannot be turned off … 🙏🫶✨️
Isn’t Tiger better than Lion in 1v1???
Fantastic channel. Thank you for your hard work in making these.
She said "Jag-Wire"
The AI female voice is the real menace.
I think each cat has different strength. Lions and hyenas are more confident while interacting with new environment because they live in pack and have a backup. While tiger and leopard are lonesome and they approach with caution. You would be amazed at their memory. Lions usually hunt at same place and never move from their area. Tigers on the other hand move miles a day and remember the routes and hunt at various places. They have been found to across states and national parks in same year! Its is very difficult to sight them let alone observe them hunt as they are expert in camouflage and hunting. There is simply not much research on Tigers. In the books of Jim Corbett The "Maneater Tiger" Hunter he explains how intelligent tigers are in opening doors and understanding human patterns.
Im not scared of my kitty….but my doxie sure is
Wow, this is well done!
What I've observed, people fall for Lions just due to their manes and nothing else. We've so many Lion sculptures, paintings, depictions and etc just cuz they have a mane, that's where their popularity comes from. And as Humans have the tendency "If it looks strong, it must be strong" and hence King Of Beasts. Kinda illogical because Tigers and many Brown Bears and Polar Bears actually prove out to be stronger, and there are other social animals too like Wolves who sincerely follow a King and Queen, like the alpha male and alpha female, but as for Lions, it's mostly 2-3 brothers who would mate with all the females, so in this case, Wolves prove to be more towards that Empire system than Lions. Today if we compare 2 same sized animals, one would be solitary and other a social animal, people prefer the solitary one cuz it has experience of thriving alone. But when it comes to Lion vs any other carnivore, it suddenly becomes irrelevant. Male Lions are not the primary hunters, they'd assist or join if there's a big prey, plus even territorial fights the group of males fight another group of males, it's never a proper 1v1, and when a Lion is alone, it fights with another whole 2-3 males which take it down quite easy. But people don't seemingly agree to that. And why? Of course, the mane! People are highly impressed by maned Lions, but when it comes to males with a mane, they're left with no recognition, and suddenly they don't look like the King anymore. If Lions never had a mane, 70% of their fanbase wouldn't exist, salty ones, true Animal Lovers love all, irrespective of their appearance. And yeah also the 'mane protects the neck' is also illogical. I mean if mane is such a protection, then one lion can't kill another? It'd break rules of nature, I mean they are not godly animals who are immortal, there are many ways for one to kill the other, but just cuz u have a protection around the neck doesn't mean you can survive everything. Rather a lion's nape is a spot to get hold of the backbone. These are beautiful creatures, it's just some people are too salty and biased for it which ruins stuffs.
Thought this video was about Diddy
