This documentary is a few years old. I wonder how the little pride is doing. I love these lionesses!💗🦁💗
Katherine Uribe ooooooohhhh bechare Shikari, BTW hw r u lovely girl 😘 😘
They died...
Katherine Uribe good
Few of them came to me and complained about cholesterol problem they have
Jury Peter u are slightly stupid but that’s ok
this is crazy! imagine like someone just tried to kill you, you fight them off and then they start rolling in floor next to you and you keep walking...
it's like... awkward...
Robert Adonias Costa Gomes very awkward. ...good comment..
this is not animosity kill. this is survival. so no bleeding heart here. i think
Lol
Robert Adonias Costa Gomes ...it's not in their vocabulary "awkward "
mathiew fessehaye The lions feel weirdly self conscious about their failure to kill and eat the onyx and so engage in play behaviors (rolling on the ground) to relieve their cognitive dissonance.
I'd always thought Oryx horns seemed inefficient. To charge an enemy they'd have to bend their head so far into their chest they wouldn't be able to see. This video showed me how useful the curve is as lions almost always attack the rear 2:30 they can whip their head back and the horns are well lined up to impale the lion. Amazing. Thanks for posting.
and see how their horns are skinny and light weight?

Their horns are literally spears.
I could sit and watch these videos all day. I love these kinda stuff with animals and nature
Need more
@Joshy Presley No I just love these kinda content with wild animals
@@mervynramokgopa3869 True
Joshy Presley go fuck yourself fake ad presley wanna be
@strranger Yeah would be nice 👍
2:30 I never understood how the Oryx horns were good for defense being so swept back but wow, seeing that they can basically stab at predators attacking from the rear. They now seem far more effective than most prey horns for that purpose.
Ог
Antelope horns are primarily for display and fighting each other rather than defense, and are often not used, running away is the main defense and have-a-go heroism is bred out of them as the heroes tend to get eaten.
The best horns
Very true, even I always thought they won't be effective but now realize that lions tend to attack more from behind and this is a very effective deterrent. I love how the lioness takes it easy and just rolls on the ground as if she is bored. The Oryx is also very cool and held its ground and is not panicking. Very fine animals.
🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤭🤭
At 2:33 you realize why it's evolved to have such long horns.
was just about to say this
yea, I always wandered and thought it is unnecessary, but now, I see
and btw it was to slow to get back on its feet, probably from shock and fear, week knees syndrome..
The Guardian Those horns are absolutely lethal!
The Guardian that makes more since now.

03:30
Oryx: "So... You're not gonna eat me??"
Lioness: "Naah man. I thought you were an antelope... we took a bite and we don't really like how you taste lol.."
Oryx: "Okay." :( *walks away sadly*
shadymike88 XD lol
Actually, Oryx tastes extremely delicous. Best meat I ate so far.
Oryx are antelopes
When ppl jugde entire race by one random person in the internet XD
shadymike88 oryx is an antelope
You should not forgot the detail of the sound added in this video like every animal sending their voices through microphone. Bird flaps, steps sound... amazing.
Gosh, the Oryx is so beautiful
oabuseer until it stabs you with its horns in
oabuseer until it takes you
oabuseer they ugly
oabuseer (
One of Africa's most beautiful animals, imo.
Incredible how well the Oryx uses its horns to defend itself!
wow, those exceptionally long horns provide superb rear body protection
They're pretty effective going forward too - the only downside being that the Oryx has to attack blind, as it has to face it's head down looking back in order for its horns to point straight forward. But unlike deer, most antelope and oxes (bison, buffalo etc) use their horns in that way - they just don't have the rear coverage that Onyx do. I suspect they have evolved these more effecient horns because they tend to be more solitary than most antelope so they have to be more self-reliant when it comes to defending themselves.
but they are not effective at all due to where they are pointed i am shocked the oryx managed to twist them behind him that spooked the lions...
@@roseforyoubabe looked pretty effective in this video... Literally protected its most vulnerable spot at the time...

@White Raptor News Please don't spam your religious dogma.
Long horns are more powerful than long teeth!
Weimin Leee long teeth isnt powerful, its the jaw muscle thats holds the power
Now I know why lions understand and respect the Masai spear.
Cool how the Oryx makes a deliberate unhurried retreat, and talks at the lions with confidence.
Our early ancestors developed similar strategies of mobile defense. No doubt the earlist defensive spears were recovered Oryx horns from Oryx carcasses. A spear not for throwing, but for standing ground against toothy carnivores. Confoundingly smart we were. We easily rebuffed predatory investigations when moving in numbers. We were deliberate and methodical. Confident and in no rush just like the Oryx and honey badgers.
Those were young and inexperience lions. When the hunger pains hits they will do the unthinkable to get it to the plate.
@@sr-hd3bz you are right.....
I love these videos. The camera placement is key. Amazing. I understand, however, I'm always fascinated. Kudos to the cameramen.
OMG look how sharp those long horns are
Just like two swords 🗡️🗡️
More like long Ninja sai 😨
wow those horns are great for reaching in the rear where lions go lol seems theyre just for that
WeAreExilesFromHeaven cool huh, almost everything serves a purpose
We human should learn a lesson from animals. The goat's attitude is wrong: as long as you don't kill me, I will let you stay around. No, he will kill you sooner or later. The only way to survive is to kill back. They don't think that way, that's why they are prey.
The commentary is so powerful!
It seems that Oryxes are the only herbivores that are really aware of the dangerousness of their horns. They use them everytime they are attacked or to defend their calves. Male Impalas or male Kudus could easily injure cheetahs or leopards with their horns, but I’ve never seen them doing it.
R C I see sable antelope do this too.
LudicrousCunningFox
Yes you’re right
Shorter horned antelope can be grabbed by the neck by lions despite their defences, but the long horns of Oryx means that they just can't get close enough to lay claws on it anywhere. And if a lion is really worried it can always work around to the rear of an antelope, but the Oryx has that covered.
Sable also have rather longer horns than most antelope species, growing up to 65 inches long in males.
Cape buffalo do too
How can this guy makes such a great shots? ...incredible 👌poor oryx
It is impressive how the horns of the oryx are the perfect size to hit the snout of the predator attacking from behind. If they were just a little bit longer or a little shorter than a few inches they wouldn't be as efficient.

3:26 "nevermind I'm just gonna order some takeaway"🤣🤣
Finally the youngsters lose heart: Well, let's order some take-way then!!..:)

Great thanks for uploading
I've been chain watching this. BBC is a treasure. Thank you.
Oryx can cover their own back with those impressive horns! Really cool!
Sad to find out both lions and certain oryx species have been reduced to several tens of thousands to only several thousands in the wild.
Wait, lions are only at several thousand in the wild? Just looked it up, they've been reduced massively from 200,000 to 20,000, but not below 10,000. Oryx are at 373,000 in the wild, but you're right, tragically many species are whats known as 'extinct in the wild', like the Scimitar oryx and Arabian oryx. The latter went extinct in the wild in the 70s, but now has 1000 individuals living freely (with 6000 - 7000 in captivity!). Poaching for their horns is their greatest threat... So despicable what we do to this world and the animals that inhabit it.
@Magne Funny you say that, industrial revolutions have harmed the ecosystem at an unprecedented scale. This is just a fact.
@@superdanyal2009 Industrial revolutions have little do with reduction in populations of large cats, Its poaching that causes them to die out.
*FROM several tens of thousands.
Let’s help them so we can observe how the smart ones survive and learn from them.
So crazy how the horns length n curve is perfectly designed to stab backwards towards things biting u from behind. Amazing film man
MÉLYEN TISZTELT SZERKESZTŐSÉG!Kérem szépen MAGYARRA fordítani.Köszönöm.
Wuao from what it looked like a weak position tje orix actually had a better angle to use its antlers.
Great video.👍👍
When the bird was flying close to the lion I was like "OH ITS ZAZOO!!" LMAOO
But I think we are all good fiowers
I was struggling to see how those horns would be of any use being so long, I thought they’d just get in the way, the video put it to me perfectly.
You BLEW IT kid!!!!!
Anyone else binge watching these videos
Anyone else hear the sound of the bird flapping its wings at 1:30? Amazing
Enlightened Doggo how is it fake u can see a bird in the shot they have some very powerful mics for this stuff
Jason Rodriguez you can do a quick google search to see how in nature documentaries, the audio is added after filming. Yes they use pretty sophisticated equipment to film animals from far away and zoom in on them without losing quality but their sounds on the other hand can be easily lost to all of the static noise around.
For example when you watch a documentary where they're filming a bunch of lions hunting buffaloes, and they're filming that chase from a helicopter, when you hear the sound of the buffalo's hooves, that noise is added in because it's obvious that the sound made by the helicopter's blades will trump over the sounds made by those animals, so what enlightened doggo said is true in this particular vid & in many more videos.

doggo, microphones also can be "zoomed" like they were, here
Superb camerawork!!!
The ambience of the wild. Goose bumps
Solid plan. Just not the desperation to see it through.

Oryx has the best horns of all , so majestic and powerful
Nature is beautiful! Bless!
This was difficult to watch. I was praying for the oryx to survive. Whew.
Those are some scary looking horns

I love these videos.
its interesting how the onyx isnt just running away and instead walks chill away like nothing happened. i understood why running is bad for it but that your capable beeing so brave is interesting^^
idk why videos like this interest me alot

thank you
The horns are dang beautiful.

***REGICIDE PLAYS***
Oryx are a simply beautiful species of antelope, many of them are. This guy even sounds like a lion!
Those horns are amazing!
Oryx are certainly more capable than Wildebeests.
that ending was totally unexpected..

The beginning is like me sneaking into the kitchen at 2:30 am to get something to drink and something to snack on
Wow,the Lions understand the damage those horns can do. Oryx demands respect
Lioness: let's order oyrx form urber eats .😂😂😂😂
Boy you can see the heat from the camera
Yuss.. 😔
Best narrator ever
Yup it's an old and golden videos.. these videos make us bring back our old memories.. with whatever camera they had ..they gave us these beautiful moments..
At 2:31 the RAW power of paws....
look at the heat waves!!

A good channel with good videos
My love for lions grows each time I see a video like this. The beautiful sub adult lioness does a roll to try and trick the cow into thinking she’s not a threat Lol. She was trying to be clever, and it was actually somewhat smart. She knows she is smarter than it. But darlin he ain’t that dumb lol. She has to include her sisters in that strategy. Lol
I'm So Happy..!!
Sometimes I just play this dudes voice
The little birdie brought the attentions of Oryx of the lioness presence.
Ever wonder how they get such good footage? Almost like " okay okay, anf action" and then " cut, mr lion, we wanna get that shot from another angle..."
Never been so proud of my patronus animal
1:32 Lion! There's a lion here!
Thank you ❤️
I love this so much!! Is it true that David Attenborough is creating a new series?? I am very excited!!! Thanks for all of this BBC earth!!!
1:19 “bruh, you know we see you right?”
3:25 aren't i cute and fluffy, i'm just playing with you, it's cool. come here
It’s the equivalent of a toddler rolling around on the ground saying “It’s too hard 😞”
Awesome video. 🦁
2:36 great defensive position by oryx, knows well that by crouching , it makes it difficult for the lion to get hold of the neck in case of frontal attack, and also the horns then can be used to defend itself in case of attack from back by the other lion.

This animal is so intellegent and brave
Stunning footage, thank you!
Soooooo, basically you're trying to tell us that dinner got away?
So I get it, lions failed because the one who hunts are just young. Wonder if mature lions would feel nervous about those horns
feel nervous yeah but that won't stop them at all
It’s more than just “feeling nervous” those horns are very much capable of stabbing a lion no matter what age and a deep enough puncture can cause it enough pain to where hunting could be made more difficult down the line
It's just not worth the risk for the lions. It's safer for them to go for an easier target. A stab from one of those horns could be very nasty and totally uncompensate the value they'd get from the meal. For those lions to have gotten him they would've needed to get a quick neck grip on him, to subdue it and kill it as fast as possible
Lions always are apprehensive to kill a dangerous animal - that said, even these youngsters could easily take one down, just takes some nerve to outmaneuver it and then overpower it. It isn't a prey animal which is that hard to bring down, even with those horns.
brylle namuag Hell Yeah, wouldn’t you be? Those horns look like they could stab straight through a body.
And I thought those long horns were a handicap and yet it is essential for survival. Nature never fails to prove me wrong.
I never heard of or seen an Oryx before. Its head looks like someone painted it that the art design is awesome 👌. With those tall horns, the Oryx looks like it could do some damage to a preditor. I enjoyed seeing this animal that I had never seen before.
First time I saw the a deer using its horns and successful other deers didn't
Know what these horns are meant for.
They need to be educated.. 😂.. Just kidding
Shows how sometimes standing up and fighting back is better than running. That Oryx got some nerve.
Lioness - "Let's have a dust bath instead."
When those horns were swung around behind, they nearly caught that one lion. I can see how they present a very real weapon against lions.
I don't think crota would like that very much.
Too bad, crota is next, then atheon
Moons haunted
At last i see herbivores use their horns....I always wondered why impalas ,antelopes,wildebeest don't use their horns.....at least they don't even get to scratch a predator before death....
MrSijinroshan I’ve seen a wildebeest try to use its horns, but it went badly with the lion then just getting it in a choke hold
Nu nu hu gt
This is why I love 🦁
wow wow thank you good show
For cctigerfans:
This is an incomplet video.
After a while, the oryx was killed and eaten by those lionesses.
the lion barely escapes the horn shot, almost to the face

That Little Bird gave away one of The Lionesses hiding position when it started chirping as it landed on a limb by the Lioness.
