?Why is this lion rejected by his clan
After the killing of a zebra, this young lion is rejected by his clan. A key moment in the life of a clan, rarely filmed.
Symbols of courage and strength, African lions have always been admired. These iconic animals have powerful bodies - in the feline family, they are second in size to tigers - and their roars can be heard for 8 km around.
Males defend their clan's territory by marking it with urine, letting threatening roars to warn intruders, and chasing animals that encroach on their territory.
Lionesses hunt for the clan. They often work together to prey on antelope, zebra, wildebeest, and other large open grassland animals. Many of these animals are faster than lions, so teamwork pays off.
After the hunt, the collective effort often degenerates into bickering over the sharing of the prey, with the cubs finding themselves at the bottom of the hierarchy. Cubs do not help hunt until they are about a year old. Lions hunt alone if the opportunity arises, and they also steal prey from hyenas or wild dogs.
From a certain age, male lions are rejected by the clan that raised them. They go off to lead their own clan by challenging another dominant male. In this video, the attack of a zebra resulted in the exclusion of one of the members of the clan: two lionesses attacked a young male. This type of moment - rarely filmed - is intrinsic to the life of a clan. The rejected young males then go off to challenge the males of other clans and take their place.
