Which are Africa's Most Successful Predators? As you settle down in your vehicle to watch a pride of lions feast on a recent prey ... or spot a leopard high in a tree with its lofty larder it's easy to think that these apex hunters almost 'pluck' their meals out of the air; that their hunting efforts easily pay off. But is that the case? How successful are these predators usually?

Lions Although rightfully known as the King of Beasts lions are strong and powerful. Yet they're probably the worst hunters of Africa's big predators...quite content to 'steal' the of others whenever they get the chance.

They're lazy and are not fast runners. Nor do they have the stamina to chase their prey over distances. They're more likely to stalk their prey or ambush them especially during the day. They'll also give up the chase rather quickly.
