Predation: Lion

Predation is the preying of one animal on others. A lion’s favorite prey is deer, but in different environments, lions will also eat antelope, buffalo, guar, and domestic livestock. Lions kill animals of all ages and physical conditions, including animals that are elderly. When prey is near, the lion begins its stalk. When it gets close enough, the lion rushes the prey and uses his claws, shoulders, back, and next to force it to the ground.
