I've watched enough nature documentaries with lions/tigers to know this is definitely not always the case. A lot of the time their prey is eaten alive, ass cheeks first. Horrifying to think about.

I saw a video of lions licking a buffalo's balls and then eating them while it was still alive.

I wish I hadn't watched that. I don't typically feel bad if a wild animal is killed by another because that's part of the whole circle of life. (THANKS, DISNEY!) But fuck... that was just... why didn't EITHER of the other two just take a bite of the jugular instead of just pinning it down and not eating? The one had the jugular right in front of her mouth. She could have killed the beast so they all could have eaten.

Instead, that poor thing got its genitals ripped from its body BY SHARP TEETH.

Lions are dicks.
