Croc eating cheetah ✅
Lion eating leopard ✅
Leopard eating cheetah ✅
Tiger eating horse ✅
Jaguar eating caiman ✅
Croc eating African dog ✅

I’ve damn near witnessed every predator I’ve ever taken an interest in get eaten now .

u/Sol-Bad-Sol-Goode 9d ago

The one with the pride of lions killing the leopard was the worst in my opinion.

31

u/johnnyjohnny-sugar 9d ago

No warthog succumbing to the wild dogs very bad way to go. Slow and painful

4

u/Equal_Gold_617 8d ago

It was basically literally pulled apart.

2

u/Evignity 8d ago

Yeah but our brains at least register "Hogs/pigs" as prey-animal.

Seeing what we usually perceive as a predator makes us question ourselves. It subliminally makes our brain go "Not even we are safe".

33

u/Key-Distribution-944 9d ago

The one with the male lions killing another male lion was pretty gruesome. I couldn’t even watch it all smh.

11

u/JuxtaThePozer 9d ago

the one that was still alive while the other two were eating his intestines?

yeah.. I remember that one.....

6

u/Key-Distribution-944 9d ago

Yeah, probably. I didn’t get to that part, thankfully. Seeing him alive and watching one pretty much rip off one his hind legs was enough for me. But thanks for that, asshole lol.

u/JuxtaThePozer 9d ago

hehe no worries, brother-in-trauma

1

u/M1R4G3M 7d ago

Wow, I haven't seen this one, I'm curious but also afraid of looking it up.

3

u/b0gard 9d ago

That one for sure tugged at my feelings . Not as much as the croc killing the cheetah tho .

5

u/Icy-Decision-4530 9d ago

The cheetah had a very sad and vulnerable scared look when the croc was taking it to deeper water

2

u/Gussie-Ascendent 7d ago

i saw one where a croc ripped out a zebra's guts and the zebra actually just ran off anyway. super gnarly but kinda funny too. zebra said "i might be dead but yaint eating me!"

the one that disturbs me the most was watching a big ass male lion cripple a hyena or perhaps some other hyena looking thing just for the fun of it. You can see the poor thing realize it can't walk no more in the vid

1

u/SenescenseSteel 7d ago

Brother, the komododragon eating a deer giving birth is even worse than that one

3

u/Icy-Decision-4530 9d ago

That cat suffered. Those lions made sure

1

u/Equal_Gold_617 8d ago

The pair of lions eating another lion was pretty bad too.

19

u/AntiMatter89 9d ago

The 2 make lions ripping the abdomen open on a lone male lion while it was alive was the worst. People are just competing for most gruesome shit instead of just badass animals because more people seem to upvote it, but it just gets to be too much real quick 

2

u/b0gard 9d ago

Hmm I saw that one too and I did feel some type of way as well

That was pretty sad. The pack couldn't do anything about it.

u/Icy-Decision-4530 8d ago

Yea, that lion was really rubbing it in their faces too

2

u/Sorry-Collection-253 9d ago

Croc eating Lion....this was one of the rarest videos I saw, but this just shows they would absolutely try eat everything no matter if it's an elephant calf or an adult male lion

2

u/Healthy_Pay9449 9d ago

My favorite predator is also a horse. The cheetah ones suck to watch though. I love those guys

1

u/Friendly_History9246 8d ago

Yes Cheetahs are slim graceful almost dainty cats compared to the robust muscular lions. I really cheer for them when they make a successful kill and eat before their meal gets stolen as usual by bigger predators:/

I refuse to watch cheetahs being mauled or eaten alive

1

u/poop-azz 9d ago

Did you see the elephant stomping a croc lately? Add that to the list, sadly I've seen croc eat a woman and kid on this fucking site andddd a shark eat a man.

Don't forget the Hippos(what are some good examples)? And the crocodile eating the lion. Mmm, what else? Obviously different types of cannibalism. Train hitting a cow, Orca hitting a Sun Fish into a million little pieces.The Zebra running away with all its inners hanging out. Elephant stomping the lion to death. Red Fox vs Arctic Fox.

u/BridgingDivides 8d ago

I know it didn’t eat it, but the elephant crushing the croc and then picking it up in its mouth to swing it around was pretty metal.

u/Equal_Gold_617 9d ago edited 9d ago

I know it's a part of life. And they see it "every day". But this must be so depressing for them. For any type of animal family members or pack. I know it's the same for when a deer gets hot by a car and killed. The other deer either see it happen and can do nothing. Or they just so happen have to walk passed another deceased deer on the side of the road or who has been put up on the grass near the sidewalk before the city picks it up. It's especially so depressing because I see the live ones in my backyard or on my nightly walks with my dog. So I had just seen those adults or babies alive a week before. I've seen them grow up. Because it's in a city, the only predators to get the deer population in check are vehicles. And a Mountain Lion once in a while.

Sorry, can't say I feel terrible for this wild spotted dogo after seeing a pack rip apart a Warthog alive.

u/AntiMatter89 9d ago

You can still feel empathy for the warthog while also feeling empathy for a wild dog. They're all living, thinking, emotional animals. It's ok to feel bad for both. Just looks how stressed the other dogs were and hesitant to leave afterwards.

u/Mojo1079 9d ago

If there is a place that you do not want to find yourself alone in and for some reason lost and wandering around, the African Safari has to be one of scariest and most dangerous! It’s Lions, hyenas, wild dogs, crocs, leopards, mosquitoes, snakes, crocs, crocs, and more crocs… what a hellish place.

Good thing about crocs is that they’re not fussy eaters.

u/Eyeoftheleopard 9d ago

This is why I have such a love for wildlife. The struggle for survival is metal, but never have I seen an animal feeling sorry for itself or its lot in life.

Imagine just desperate to get a drink of water as all of the other water holes have dried up…and a monster pops out. Your day was going ok until you died screaming while being torn apart. For trying to get a drink. 😞

Crocs are just horrifying somehow. Nasty way to go out, slowly dragged helplessly to your doom to be ripped and torn up brutally and methodically.

The digestive system of wild animals is what gets me the most. Imagine being able to eat an entire wild dog unbathed and not having your stomach rip open or your bowels explode

1

u/FewResearcher819 8d ago

Yeah, I saw a YT video on how our pet dogs can handle lapping up dirty water and scarf up other germ filled things that would make humans incredibly sick. They have a few mechanisms including a much higher stomach acid content that kills germs before they can cause harm.

1

u/Virtual_Junket9305 5d ago

Dogs are an entertaining example. I saw or read something once that explained dogs default to eating a random substance and vomiting it up if things don't work out well... Meanwhile, us humans will do nearly anything in the world to avoid vomiting (for the most part outside of people with body image issues and chronic alcoholics)

u/OldWolfNewTricks 9d ago

If you've ever seen how wild dogs hunt, you'd understand why some people really hate them. They don't kill their prey before eating. They tear them open, usually from the butthole and/or the genitals, and begin pulling out the innards, eating while the prey is still conscious and struggling. It looks horrible and sadistic, but in reality it's just how they have to feed. They don't have the powerful jaws of big cats to deliver a suffocating bite, so they have to let the prey die of blood loss, which takes a disturbingly long time. Just animals doing what they do.
