LION

The lion pride works together to take down a buffalo -- even calling in their cubs to watch as they bring down their prey.

Lions may not have the cheetah's speed or the leopard's forest cover, but they have other tricks for hunting prey. Masters of stealth and teamwork, lions work together to outwit and overpower their prey.

The lionesses synchronized their pregnancies, which may have seemed like a good idea at the time. But now they are swamped with a dozen demanding cubs.

Chased by their aunt into an unhospitable part of the desert, the cubs found an oasis where they developed new hunting strategies and became bird hunters, previously unheard of for lions.

Orphan lion cubs Alpha and Bravo reached the ocean and made the Skeleton Coast their new home. Here, they learned how to hunt and eat a new set of prey from the marine ecosystem: seals.
