  1. There was some disgusting mother and child acts going on at 1:51. Mother was licking that fawns ass. Good thing the cheetah killed it and hopefully that perverted mother was eaten by lions later.

  2. Cheetah's surrender their kill without conflict for two reasons:

    1. They are small and weak in comparison to lions and hyenas and would otherwise be killed.

    2. They have a 50% success rate for hunts, the highest success rate among the big cats.

    They usually hide in the shade and eat quickly for a reason. Enough nourishment for now. But they'll be able to make another kill sooner rather than later.

  3. I hate it when lions and hyenas just walk in and steal the cheetah's pray without it being able to do anything about it

  4. cheetah+lion=lheetah.save these beatiful animals.the every cats are endangered espacially eurasian lnyx.if u dint save the tiger.u will forget them after 20 or 30 years.dont let them extint. at least save 100 or 50

  5. That's a left-wing lie. The majority of hunters do eat the meat of what they kill. They might mount the head but that doesn't mean they don't eat the rest of the carcass. No meat on the head anyway besides the brain.

  6. Just because somebody chooses to mount the head doesn't mean they didn't use the rest of the carcass for food, tools, and blankets.

  7. If you eat what you kill and don't waste anything useful on the animal, than I made an incorrect generalization and I congratulate you on your resourcefulness. And if you eat what you hunt, then its not sport hunting. Sport Hunting is when somebody hunts for trophies and some sort of self-inflicted prestige, which I don't find respectable in the slightest. But if you use everything as you said, you're being self-sufficient and that's better than most people.

  8. "nobody kills animals for food in developed society" — I do

    "sport hunting is a fucking waste of resources" — not if you eat it, I eat all the animals i hunt

  9. Almost nobody kills animals for food in developed society, it's about sport or just spontaneous violence. Sport hunting is a fucking waste of resources, and doesn't offer any benefits whatsoever. And animal abuse is just a lack of control on our part, more of a weakness of our species than anything remotely justifiable.

  10. funny how this is all nice and okay if a wild animal kills another animal for food and sometimes for cubs to play with. but when a human kills another animal for the same reason, everyone starts crying and threatening the person with HELL -__-
