Bizarre lion behaviour in the Okavango Delta

That is an excellent insight.
Elephants are a great example of what culling the biggest and best can to a herd.
Big cats, particularly lions being social cats might well suffer a similar fate.

they should have shot the creature in the head and put it out of it's
misery. and don't give me the interfering with nature line. the very fact
that they are there and filming it is itself interfering with nature.

Actually non-lethal "hunts" are available (and I would love to see them grow). Ride along with the rangers, tranq the animal in question, Vets and rangers do their thing, hunter gets his "Roosevelt" picture. Life is good and everyone is happy.

humans cant interfere with nature, they are also part of it. anything we do, is the same thing as a lion doing what it does. im sure if lions ate all their food they wouldn't have a meeting saying, we need to save the species so we don't go extinct. they just keep eating them til they die off or they find another food source.
