Original oil painting on natural linen by Kheder.
48x96 cm
Lions can’t run very fast. They are pretty slow. Plus, they can’t run for very long without getting out of breath. Because of this, lions need to be clever hunters. By stalking their prey, they are able to get as close as possible before the chase begins. Very slowly, crouching near to the ground, lions creep as near to their victims as possible. Making sure they haven’t been seen or heard, they can then jump on an animal very quickly, taking it by surprise.
When hunting smaller animals, lions will often ankle-tap their prey. By clipping an animal’s ankle from behind while it is walking or running, the lion aims to trip it up, making it easier to catch. Larger animals are brought to the ground by jumping on their backs. This is usually when the bigger, stronger male lions decide to join in.
