Photographer Sets Up To Capture A Lioness Eating An Antelope In The Wild—But Was Met With A Mind-Blowing Phenomenon Instead!

Coping Mechanism

For the antelope, it can’t be very comfortable, even though nature has made it simpler for lions to move their cubs with ease. First off, he lacks the cubs’ capacity for such handling. The skin and fur on the cubs’ necks is also significantly looser and has been shown to have fewer nerve endings. This means that they won’t feel as uncomfortable during the carrying process as one might think.

Additionally, the cubs have unique mechanisms that are activated when their neck is tightly clamped; when the mother does this, the cubs appear to enter an inactive state where their hind legs fold up slightly, and they stop wriggling.
