Video of him being killed in the fight.

I couldn't watch it all. It was like the assassination of Caesar. Some of the most incredible violence in the natural world.

Where are PETA and HSUS when you need them!

A bullet would have been much kinder.

I couldn't watch it either, a graphic reminder Mother Nature can be extremely cruel but that is part of the natural selection.

That is a perfect example of a lion that would have been better served taken by a hunter (I realize this one was in a NP).

It happens all the time and eventually the pide male gets killed or ousted

At the end they are talking about how he and his brother had conquered multiple prides. So basically the two of them had killed multiple pride lions. Nature is karma.

We hunters need to put forward a proposal to prosecute young males from engaging older males like this. We need more "Serengeti Kings" to offer our customer base!!

Where are all the tree huggers and greens now screaming how brutal young lions are and that they need to stop this

Nature at its most brutal!

And at 12yrs old, he has had a good run.

It was sad to watch, but every Greenie should have to watch it. It's how most lions meet their end. That or the hyenas. The males that took him down were young and none could have done it by themselves. Lions have a hard life and face a bad end. The most humane is a bullet.
