Dubbed the king of the steppe, lions sometimes struggle to fight because they are hunted by other animals. The African wild dog is known as the master of the art of coordinated hunting in the savanna.

The video begins when a pack of wild dogs spotted a lioness walking alone near a small lake. They quickly approached with the initial 4 members, together surrounding the lion.

Aware of the approaching danger, the lion roared menacingly, then charged into a “pre-emptive” attack on a member of the pack. But just waiting for that, the remaining wild dogs immediately rushed in.

They bite the lion’s back and tail. Suffering many painful blows, the lion tried to resist, but its efforts could not stop the wild dogs. At one point, the lion was even knocked down by fierce dogs.

Realizing that physical exertion was impossible, the lion cleverly found a temporary escape from the hateful hunters by dipping its hindquarters into a nearby lake.
