male lion save a calf wildebeest from lioness bite and male lion steal a calf

A lioness makes the kill first—she bites and grabs a wildebeest calf, trying to suffocate it quickly. Just as she’s finishing the bite, a male lion rushes in. He doesn’t come to save the calf out of kindness—he comes because he wants the meal. The male roars, charges, and swats the lioness away. She releases her bite immediately. Lionesses almost always back off because a full-grown male is much stronger and can seriously injure or kill them if he wants to. #lion #calf #wildebeest #wildlife #predator #prey #wildanimals
