In the video, an adult antelope is taking refuge in a swamp while being pursued by dozens of hungry lions. After a moment of observation, the antelope decides to climb to the shore to escape. However, it is blocked by a lion and forced to return to the swamp.
Not giving the prey a chance to survive, a female lion in the pride decides to jump into the water and “engage in a water battle” with the antelope.
However, after a struggle, the lion not only fails to kill its prey but also ends up choking on water. In the end, the antelope escapes safely.
Unable to “take down” the antelope, the lion ended up choking on water.
African lions (Panthera leo) are the second-largest members of the cat family, second only to tigers. These animals live in prides, with females being the primary hunters. They typically target prey such as antelopes, zebras, wildebeests, and other large animals on the savannah.
