Where does the lion go when it gets old? Will it become food for other animals?

In the African savannah, the lion is at the top of the food chain。The "King of the Steppe" except, except for some animals such as elephants and rhinos, which rarely attack, almost all other large herbivores are on their diets, such as African buffalo, hippopotamus, zebra, wildebeest and various antelopes. In addition to killing herbivores, lions are also the ceiling of combat effectiveness for carnivores on land in Africa.

They have no competitors and still live in groups, which allows them to occupy the most ecologically advantageous position in Africa.

However, as the saying goes, "no flower is red for a hundred days, and no person is good for a thousand days", lions are not always strong because they are born and old like other animals. Once they get old, their fate is often tragic. Lions are social animals, which is one of the biggest differences between them and other cats.

However, lions also have their own structure, in lions, there is usually only one lion, the rest of the members are made up of lions and cubs, and most importantly, the lion stays in the lion from birth to death. When the lioness in the lion is old, the old lioness usually hunts with the lion because the female offspring in the lion have grown up and they can participate in the hunt. Old lionesses do not participate directly in the hunt, but usually wait until their children and other lionesses lay down their prey.

Although the fate of male lions in old age looks the most beautiful among lions, they have the dominance of all lionesses and rarely participate in hunting, in fact, male lions are the most miserable. First of all, the same offspring of lions, lionesses stay in lions all their lives, but male lions are usually driven out of lions after 2 years of age and live an unguaranteed wandering life, becoming a stray lion. In a wandering life, many lions are survived by the fittest, and this is one of them.

Secondly, there is only one way for a wandering male lion to end his wandering life: to challenge other lions. This is a tough challenge as male lions usually go through a wide variety of battles, and when they defeat lions, wandering male lions can rise.

Although they are both lions, the fate of male lions and lionesses is completely different, among them, the life of the lioness does not fluctuate much, they will continue to stay in the lion, and its offspring will take the initiative to take care of them, male lions are different, they will be challenged by young lions, and then driven out of the lion pack, and their fate will either be hunted, starved to death, or found dead by hyenas. Therefore,MaleLions die alone in old age, while lionesses die alone "at the end of their lives".

It will not wait for it to get old enough to go on its own, usually not long after the prime of life, those wild single or brother lions will come to grab the territory, and the old lion is likely to be seriously injured and killed in the battle. If you are expelled, you will be wandering alone, and it is unlikely that this kind of male lion who will be expelled because of his deterioration will make a comeback. I don't know how long it took for me to die.

Injury problems, or the inability to catch prey. After all, lions are used to hunting in groups, and it is difficult to catch some food with a considerable body size. After all, it may take more than 10 times for the lions to succeed once.

When lions get old, they will break away from the group and roam the grasslands, in which case they will definitely become food for other predators.

They will find a hole with their partner and rest in peace; No, even if the lions are old, they still have the ability to protect themselves.
