Lions hunt primarily through stalking and teamwork, with lionesses doing most of the hunting. They stalk their prey quietly, approaching from an angle to get as close as possible without being detected. Once close enough, they launch a quick, powerful attack, using their body weight to knock the prey off balance and kill it, often by biting the neck to sever vertebrae or suffocate it. Lionesses tend to hunt in groups to increase success, working strategically to surround and isolate weaker prey members, while males may join in hunts for larger prey by relying on brute strength. Lions prefer to hunt at night or during low-light conditions when their vision gives them an advantage. They primarily target large herbivores such as wildebeests, zebras, and buffaloes. After a successful hunt, the male usually eats first, followed by lionesses and cubs. Lions may also scavenge or steal kills from other predators when opportunities arise. In summary, lions rely heavily on stealth, cooperative hunting tactics among lionesses, and a combination of speed, power, and strategy to hunt effectively in their natural habitat.
