VIDEO: Lion Fight! These Lions Want to Decide Who is the Dominant One!
Lions are some of the most interesting creatures that we have ever seen and they seem to have quite a clear way of living and every one in the pack knows exactly what their role is and how they have to behave.
But sometimes, even with lions, fights come up because they have to establish who is the dominant one. And if there’s one thing that most people could agree one is that seeing these animals in their natural element being themselves is really interesting and amazing.
According to express.co.uk, this is the moment two lions tried to show each other who is boss in a dramatic fight for dominance.
Seething with anger, the lions sent fur flying through the air when they came claw to claw in an intense battle.
The snarling lions were clearly in disagreement about something when they began ferociously roaring at one another in Kruger National Park, South Africa.
The fight quickly escalated when one of the lions, clearly deciding enough was enough, launched himself at the other.
He swung his paw and struck his opponent with such force, saliva flew from his mouth.
After a few intense blows, the pair wrestled one another to the ground until one of them appeared to surrender and the fight came to an end.
Photographer Corlette Wessells from Johannesburg, was lucky enough to witness and photograph the fight, blow-by-blow.
Ms Wessells, 43, said: “These lions are two well-known brothers from the Southern Pride of Sabi Sabi.
“I do not know why they were fighting as I arrived just before the action started but I expect they were both trying to assert their dominance.
“They went full out at each other. Growling, slapping one another until the one male was on the ground, almost being submissive to the other male.
“I cannot tell you the intensity of their voices and growls they made and the pure force of their fore legs lashing out at one another.
“I have for years wanted to see two male lions fight – it is not a common sighting and most of times at night and in thick bush.
“This day I got to see this in open area and so close to me. I could feel their anger and force in my blood, it was overwhelming.
“I was very emotional after all was over and also very relieved that not one of them got injured seriously – besides maybe their egos.
“The fact you can see the emotion on their faces, the brutal force they used to lash out at one another is what I like most about these images.”
What do you think of the way these wild animals decided to solve this problem? Which one of the lions do you think is the most powerful one and should be the one to lead the other ones? This video reminds us why so many people enjoy watching animal channels for hours and hours on end.
