The Unexpected Conclusion To The Lion-Antelope Face-Off

In the jungle, where survival of the fittest is paramount, the rule of nature rules supreme. Large cats and other predatory animals feed on smaller herbivorous species. Animals at the top of the food chain gorge on others at far lower positions. Videos of tigers, leopards, or lions hunting deer or antelope are often seen online.

There are instances when an animal’s bravery even defies the rules of the jungle.
