We're not sure if this lioness has had luck with bringing down hippos in the past, but this ambush (sniff fest) ends in spectacular failure. Looking for what she probably thought was an easy meal in Massai Mara, the lioness sniffs around a sleeping hippopotamus. Unfortunately for the lioness, ...

We can't imagine there's ever a good time to rush in on a lion and start asserting your dominance over it. This brave (or stupid) little dog not only runs in and wakes up a sleeping male and female lion, it sticks around and keeps getting right in their faces! The lions seem mostly confused and ...

If these sisters didn't know lions could open a car door, they definitely know they can now. These sisters were on a mission in South Africa when they passed some lions on the side of the road. They slow down to get a better look at them, thinking they're completely safe inside the car — they ...

A lion cub at the National Zoo in Washington, DC, learned it had to be ready for anything after it got knocked into the water by its mom.

We're not sure what this lion did to this dog to need to apologize, but it's obvious he feels pretty bad about it. Either that or he's debating if today is the day he's going to eat her. Luckily for Camila the chocolate lab, she and Miki the lion have been buds since they were young, so she ...

Lions are graceful, power animals — most of the time. Unfortunately for this lion, it doesn't look like he has that much grace when it comes to interacting with the real world. While attempting to cross a stream near Vosburg, South Africa, he steps out into the water in what appears to be the ...

A hyena had its afternoon stroll cut short after it walked right into the middle of a pride of lions. Louis Le Roux was vacationing at Gharagab in the Kgalagadi National Park when he spotted the hyena. What the hyena didn't know is that there were a pride of lions crouched and waiting. Its ...

It's no surprise that lions are territorial, but they're probably a little easier going with their own kind in other prides, right? Not so much.

Facing down a charging lion is about as terrifying a situation as any we can imagine. Luckily, there aren't many people that'll have to deal with that situation.

Speed isn't always enough as we find out from this gazelle after it gets taken by out by a lioness. Even though the gazelle was managing to outrun the lioness and looked like it was going to get away, it made a miscalculation and stumbled. It was all over at that point because the lion wasted no ...

We wouldn't recommend getting in the cage with a seemingly well-mannered lion, much less what this guy does. In what is either the bravest or dumbest thing we could imagine doing with a lion, he sits down beside her and starts petting her. She's not exactly happy about it either as she starts ...

This hippo sure knows how to make a bad situation worse. After escaping an attack from some lions After escaping an attack from some lions, an impala must've thought the coast was clear. Unfortunately for the impala, it escaped by running into thick, muddy water and became trapped. A nearby ...
