Amazing: Lion vs Zebra with unexpected escape
We witnessed this amazing sighting during a gamedrive while on safari in Serengeti National Park, Tanzania.
The lion is hunting zebras when they are drinking at a waterplace. The zebras panicked and running off they create a dust cloud in which the lion attacks a zebra. In the battle that follows, the lion kills the zebra almost. However, the zebra has some unexpected strength and it manages to strike back by biting the lion's body and leg. That hurts the lion so much, it loses it's grip and gives the zebra the opportunity to escape.
When zebras are drinking at a waterplace, they're vulnerable. It's a favourite moment for lions to hunt zebras as they make a good lion's meal. Lions are well capable of spotting a weaker animal in the herd and go after that individual. But this lion is hunting the wrong zebra and has to let go in the end.

Zebra Watching Behind Is The Perfect Example Of A "Fake Friends"
That’s funny 😄
The zebras must go and do an internship with the buffaloes entitled “Unity is strength”
It's scheduled for next week!
Zebra: Thanks for the help guys.
I found it pretty hilarious how all the zebras just stood there and watched it happen. I feel like after the lion finished bob he could just go for steven, who watched bob get eaten alive and was like "pffft sucks for him, glad thats not me. oh hey let me get a front row seat to watch bob get eaten, now thats some quality entertainment. "
that's how it works unfortunately. it weeds out the weak thus the species gets better in teh course of its evolution.
is true if they went all togather the lion would've not choice but to run that is what bufalos do sometimes the zebra was even asking for help to the others.
They were in shock I think
Pablo Torres What did you expect them to do? It wasn't their fault that Bob was delicious.

So the genius with the camera somehow managed to miss the take down and the Zebras escape. What a hero.
A genius, I'll take that compliment! ;) Wished tgis sighting was recorded better, unfortunately we were quite overwhelmed and wanted to see it with our own eyes and not through a lense. Hope you did enjoy it anyway.
@@LarsStuifbergen I completely understand, great footage in spite of the gaps.
@@DaneTygheletsdrive thanks! Since this safari I've been prepared better, but ofcourse haven't seen anything like this since...
Agreed. Worthless lead in , then not show the escape.
@@LarsStuifbergen I wanted to to see more biting from the zebra, to the lion. we missed a priceless moment.
That Zebra needs to join Buffalo. What a terrible friends
It’s as if the camera person was also trying to escape. 😂😅 Nice footage.
Well, you only see one lioness in the video and as they live in prides, guess where the other lions were 😅 or may be I was just too amazed by what I was watching and didn't pay enough attention to where I was pointing the camera.... Wanted to see it with my own eyes, not a through a lense. Next time hopefully I will do better 🤞
Zebra- Why are you all standing there, coward! Oh look, humans. They’ll help me.… Hello, humans? Humans?
The camera man didn't concentrate on the action. It was a rarest footage !!
You're not wrong. We were just amazed by what happened with the hunt and aware of all the zebras around. We witnessed it mostly with our own eyes, pointing the camera at the action. Hopefully I'll get a chance to do better, although as you said, it's very rare to witness sightings like these. Hope you still got to enjoy it though!
Next time do not zoom in this much.
I think that lion underestimated the Donkey bite!
Yup, if you watch it closely, you can see the donkey's bite in the lion's leg is lifting the lion from the ground a bit. That must have hurt.
Lars Stuifbergen Yeah the donkey. Sure. Those donkies had so many stripes I almost thought it was a zebra.

If I was a zebra, I would definitely wanna be friends with a zebra that can kick a lion's ass.

The Zebras are like "Duhh should be help him?! Is he gonna die?!
I didn't know Zebra can bite when necessary ,very nice defense mechanism
Yeah, the jaws of zebra are very strong and they have strong teeth as well. They can really put some damage on predators, especially legs are vulnerable and would be a threat to a predator's hunting possibilities.

Camera man, are you rolling on the ground also?
poor camera man. he was in shock too how they all stood there. ❤
Yeah, it really was strange to see. A bit of a distraction to record the action, unfortunately
@@LarsStuifbergen. I would think they would come running over in a group and get that lion off of their zebra. That’s what I was expecting also but they all just stood there LOL anyway great video.❤❤
so much for back up. ❤❤
Meanwhile one zebra from behind has playing its own game savage😂
Lion: ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED ? ISN'T THIS WHY YOU'RE HERE ? **spits fur**

THE other zebras were like let's watch a live horror movie
Zebra investment in jiu jitsu classes paid off. Gets into side control, keeps on top pressure preventing the lion adjusting her bite to get a better grip on the neck. Zebra then bites the lion to distract it and tries to go North/South to crank the lion's neck and force a release.
It's quite a tricky jiu jitsu exam though. You either pass or you get eaten alive. 😳
Instead of concentrating on holding the camera properly on the spot, he's checking on other animals and when the Zebra had finally freed itself, he's swaying the flies away.
Hi Mick, thanks for your feedback. We hardly made video's untill this one. The video is a bit shaky, partly because the car was moving at some stages. Also because we were so excited by the scene in front of us. Probably watching it through the camera's screen/lense would have given better quality, but we wanted to witness it first hand instead of experiencing our safari behind a camera. And like it said before, I think it was an amazing sight that all those zebra's watched the lion vs zebra battle so closely. We tried to capture the complete setting in which it all took place, which is quite difficult considering with wild animals you'll never know what will happen next. Overall I think it's a video many people will find interesting, which is why I shared it.
This is what happens when you are being attacked a by a bully and the bystanders just look on and do nothing.
The smartest zebra I've seen.
Great counter defense against the predator, the ZEBRA BITES BACK TO GAIN ITS FREEDOM AND KEEP ITS LIFE. Great Counter Offensive!!!
I did not know that the zebra bit the lion. I was wondering how he escaped.
The lion is wearing a tracking collar
BIG fail on camera skills

Mantap...👍
I like zebras but this was funny!
That zebra will never talk to the other zebras
Lions usually don't lose their prey once it's caught. Just shows you the power of the Zebra. It's another clip of a Lion catching a Zebra. The Zebra drags it into a nearby River and tries to drown the Lion. The Lion lets go of it's grip in fear of drowning. Zebras are some powerful animals. They don't get away all the time from Lions but in rare cases they do. Good Footage Here.
It means ....no matter what life throws you at .. keepi pushing don't give up💪💪
*It's a symphony of strength and strategy as horses engage in their animal fights for dominance*
brave zebra... but shame on the other zebra's watching
If any 3-4 zebra would've dared and came for help.he would've escaped easily
@@aniketmufc1765 plpppp
Why other zebras photos were taken
😜😜😜
Come on dude, mostly its already prey instinct to escape itself rather than help others, if not, lion would be vanished due to lack of food. Zebra population is bigger than lion, like pyramide, predator population is small, on the top, and the prey is bigger, on the bottom, to maintain predator-prey population balance.
poor zebra was crying and hurting
+ElRinconMusical poor lion now she's hungry
Poor lion is going to starve. Take your pick, nothing these animals do can be justified as good or bad. Zebra has instinct to live, but lion starves. Lion eats and lives, but zebra is killed.
ElRinconMusical lions are a more threatened species than zebras so u choose
@@aidanmaley9826 you can't be good or bad until you become self aware. Animals don't realize they exist, just that its time for their experience. Humans are different. We can measure our experience.

you should know that Zebra is one of the hard target for lioness, even more than buffelo. they are faster, stronger and they dont get tired. i ve been in safari, zebra always eat close to lion except the babies

Love Zebras. Delighted to see it escape.
Yes, they are very photogenic. I feared the worst for the zebra, but very cool to see how the situation changed in favor of the zebra. Wish I was more cool about it instead of being so excited that the camera went in all directions 😳
All the other zebras looked sad but they were afraid the lion would attack them too. I beat they were happy their friend lived. I like zebras too. They are beautiful animals
pporx
Right at the climax, where you are suppose to film it, you end up filming the zebra audiences instead of the actual performance. UNBELIEVABLE!

It's the circle of life but it still hurts💔the heart❤
Totally agree! At first I was excited what was happening. But then you hear the panic in the zebra's screams... luckily she/he escaped!
wo bet it got a couple of hefty kicks from those massive back legs as the zebra got away...nice one
It's very nice pictures
Bigger question is what's wrong with the camera person. They escape was missed because they were fiddling around and the camera was going everywhere but on the target.
Did anyone else notice how deeply fascinated and engrossed ALL of the other zebras are while this event unfolds? They're all standing in a huge group like spectators in a stadium, staring at the two fighting animals, as if they have bets placed and have invested the last re-mortgage on their houses to cover it! Just like humans really. When we see a tragic car accident we can't help but stand around staring at the victims, the crashed cars, talking to each other; comparing notes as to how much of it they witnessed so far and how it happened or may have started. We're compassionate beings for sure, but we also have an animal-like fascination with tragic events and for witnessing survival at it's most raw....
im sorry, but, what the hell are you talking about dude???
Would you go helping someone who's being attacked by a killer with knifes and guns.
well, even though the context of my comment had nothing to do with the question you just asked me because of it, i would answer yes, probably i would; depending on who it was i could feel even stronger instinct to help them. so, yah. would you? or would you rather watch while doing nothing ?
MrDBarch OK. Good for you and the guy you're saving. I would call a police and try to help but I have to think about myself first. The thing is they are wild animals. They live by their instinct. And that's the rule of nature and chain of food. That' the way it have been for ages and still is. I just don't see why human have to judge them. We're not them. They're not like us. Are you really gonna criticise zebras, man ?
Zebras are not evolved to fight the lions unlike the wild Buffaloes who gang up & rescue fellow buffaloes
Other zebra be like are you coming or what
Lol, "what took you so long?"
😂
This is the whole video. Recorded it in 3 parts, and combined the three videos to one complete video. As for "making a quick buck on someone else's work": I know that kind of theft is common on YT, have been the victim of some false complaints myself. As a result I've registered this video with legal copyright certifications. Don't make these kind of accusations as you are wrong.
Come on you got this Marty! Keep fighting!!!
If Zebras and all other lion prey learned to fight back as a group, the face of the wild would change drastically almost overnight. I'm on the side of the Lions. One pride only need one kill every so often. Is that so much to ask from a group of a hundred zebras?
***** I wouldn't have a choice. But if I had a choice as a zebra, I would throw another zebra under the bus and I would neigh "Hooves don't fail me now!"
jackcarterog001 Animal hater... -.- if you were zebra that is dying you would see how it feels -.-
Monika Hawkburg I know it won't feel good, but it also won't feel good when a bunch of lion cubs starve to death. One zebra can feed an entire pride for days. It's a small sacrifice for a gigantic heard of Zebras.
jackcarterog001 i hate lions... -.-
Monika Hawkburg They're just trying to survive like all living creatures. They don't even know they are lions. A looooong time ago, lions and zebras were the exact same organism.
That's someone's pet cat. It has a collar for Pete's sake.
Thanks Zeke for taking one for the team.
Other Zebras: Hey you need some help? Zebra: Nah man I got this!!
That Zebra will never be the same again!
the law of the nature.. might is right..but at times persistence helps.. the laws of the 10,000 times... keep on doing what you are doing to succeed..!
Very nice video
Thank you!
Imagine if that whole horde of Zebras had turned on that lion. Zebras so stupid.
One of my favorite animals but yeah I was thinking the same thing. Just trample the lioness.
The lion is so intelligent, to prevent itself from being injured by the zebras strong legs it uses its own strong legs to push the zebra away from it while it tries to suffocate it. South Africa, Johannesburg 📍
Wtf is this? THose zebras are just like us humans, 1:10 like 50 zebras watching another zebra die, no help,! Just like humans . wtf is going On?
my friend the world destroyed slowly :/
I agree
Yeah, Its kinda like a gunman holding someone hostage... What can you do and still stay alive yourself ??
MUDSWAT nope, its different to someone holding a gun and trying to kill another person, this lion can only 1vs1 a zebra, those 50 zebra could help the victim by kicking the lion..
They still have a chance of getting mauled by the lion.. You are right though, they could outnumber it.. I guess they are all cowards cause their natural instinct is obviously to stay away... They are thinking. "Better him than me."
Thanks zebra boy muqdisho
I know your not a professional cameraman, but a couple of tips for your next shot, perhaps get a tripod that u can quickly attach to help you keep it steady and secondly keep it on the action and try to keep it centered. Forget moving the camera on the surroundings, pan out as an alternative.
The good news: I've bought a video camera (this video was recorded by photocamera), so now we'll have to see if I'm ever lucky enough to watch something like this again.
Yes amazing footage! You can always edit this one also with soundtrack and narrating, it's a riveting moment of struggle for life and death in the jungle. Survival of the fittest, I try to be partial when i watch these moments, lions are my favorite animals, but in this case I really admired the Zebra's tenacity and it's will to survive. And yes it is interesting that the other Zebras don't come to his aid. Buffalos seem to be the main animals that will come to the aid of their brothers/sisters in peril.
Z,
Poor cat dude gotta eat! Love how they was tons of zebra watching
Why lion did't do a single wound on zebra? It was a some kind of game?

lol elle n'a vraiment pas de chance cette lionne mdr Mais le plus drole c'est toutes ces camarades qui regardent la scène sans intervenir. Vive la solidarité entre zebres :))

Good jod but focus should have been on zebra and lion
Agree, however, I must say it was quite overwhelming what was happening. And so many zebras watching the fight was very interesting. But next time I'd rather film that afterwards 😅
Ever think about keeping the camera on the action properly at the end?
faxx
Why the lion has a collar?
Some lions, only lionesses btw, in Serengeti are being tracked for research and monitoring populations. Habitats of lions can be very large, up to 400km2, so the collar helps the researcher to track them. It are real wild lions, not kept in captivity. More info: www.cbs.umn.edu/research/labs/lionresearch/radio-collar
bc it my pussy
Ken O'Neill Or just google :P quicker answer anyways lol
***** Ok, my first thought was, someone's pet is having some fun.
Zebra: “You assholes! Where the hell were you? I could've been killed!" Other Zebras: “You were doing alright."
I don't know why this zebra is complaining yet it's just receiving a hug from a lion, it should be celebrating lions hugs are good.
May be the zebra thought the weather was already hot enough and a hug with the lion's fur was just too much? As a zebra you can't get sweaty, otherwise all the stripes start running out...
In the end lioness was like " wat the fuk u guys r looking at ?"
if u don't know how to use a simple camara don't do it.
is a Zebra black with white stripes or white with black stripes??
bla dee bla their basic color is black, the white stripes and white belly are additional :)
bla dee bla white with black stripes
They're black with white stripes.
are you sure there not white with black stripes?

I love how the zebra succeeded to get away by only biting the lioness skin , The lioness isn't that hungry or interested to risk injury with an adult full grown zebra , He's in his lucky day , The zebra's herd never group up and help one of them unlike buffaloes for example , Only young zebras get help from the mom and it doesn't happen a lot too .

Gostou ,muito ,de. Assistir.
Why did the lion not chase the zebra who escaped? Why did the other Zebras not help him?
Why the other zebra's didn't help, I don't know. You would think with that many they could beat a lion. The lion isn't chasing the zebra probably for two reasons. First, the lion got herself hurt to her leg, she was bleeding because of the zebra biting her. When you look very closely when the zebra escapes, you can see the zebra lifting the lion by biting her leg. It's hard to see, but you can imagine it hurts. Secondly, it takes a lot of energy to make a kill, so lions only spend that energy when they have a good chance of killing. All the zebra's knew there was a lion and the hurt zebra disappeared in the herd. The lion wouldn't have a gpood chance of killing a zebra. Besides, she already spent a lot of energy on the battle.
Because no offence but animals don't think that way. They would rather see someone get killed than get killed themselves. Plus I'm not being mean animals really are pretty stupid.
This guy holds the camera like he's getting attacked by another Lion
