Lions hunt elephants

Africa is known for its wildlife in savannas and forests. Contrary to what many think, when we talk about Africa, we are referring to 54 countries, not a single environment. The African continent is divided into five regions: East Africa, West Africa, Central Africa, Southern Africa, and Northern Africa. It is in Africa that animals stand out for their incredible qualities, as this vast continent offers the ideal conditions for the development of the most incredible species. And it is precisely here that the largest land animal, the African elephant, lives. Elephants are 2 to 4 meters tall, and their weight can reach 7 tons. But with all that size and weight, the kings of the jungle still try to hunt these big mammals. When lions hunt elephants they usually attack calves, females or sick elephants, and they almost always attack from behind and never try to attack an elephant if it is with its group and this is why lions attack lone elephants or elephants that are far from the group. Although lions are a formidable hunter, it is difficult, if not impossible, for a single lion to kill an elephant. Your chances increase if lions hunt with the help of the pride. The dry, hard and thick skin of the elephant makes it difficult for the lion to pierce it. Thus, the lion makes repeated attacks at various points to look for a weak spot or to break through the skin. Once the skin is pierced, the elephant's fate is sealed.
