African tribesmen steal lions’ lunch
July 11th, 2012 - 12:17 am ICT by IANSLondon, July 10 (IANS) A dramatic video shows how three African tribesmen snatched a chunk of meat from a pride of lions, the Daily Mail reported Tuesday.
Incredibly, tribespeople in Africa are now regularly stealing food from packs of lions, as these three hungry men demonstrate.
Their hunt for dinner begins by finding the tracks of a lion pride on the hunt for food.
The oldest member of the group - at 65 - leads the way, and it’s not long before they come across the signs of a fresh kill.
In images which would otherwise terrify most of us, the trio soon stumble across 15 lions tearing into a dead wildebeest.
But instead of making a sharp exit, the men - who are massively outnumbered by one of the world’s most feared predators - begin to plan their attack.
Acting as one to hopefully intimidate the pack, the trio all stand up together and confidently walk towards the lions, according to the Mail.
As the men get closer to the dead animal, all of the lions disperse and instead watch eagerly from the fringes. Within seconds, the men strip the dead wildebeest of its meat.
