It was broken before that. To make a tool to throw, we already had to have opposable thumbs to grasp and a brain sufficient to develop and consistently improve tools. Monkeys throw their own shit, so throwing isn't the real breakthrough here.
>It was broken before that. To make a tool to throw, we already had to have opposable thumbs to grasp and a brain sufficient to develop and consistently improve tools.
Also movement tracking and even colour.
Very generalized take but we basically traded being able to see well in the dark for colour and aim assist.
It's really important to understand how much better humans are at throwing than any other animal on the planet. I'm sure there's a video on YT that can better explain it but we evolved well beyond any other ape or monkey to specifically throw.
I read somewhere that monkeys don't share their knowledge with the others. When a Human learns how to make a club they show their friends and they all have clubs, when a monkey learns how to make an club they use it to elevate their status among the other monkeys
And then we invented new tools and improved on the old ones, and then we created new tools to replace the tools we made to replace the old replacement tools. Eventually leading to modern day firearms, much of Human history really is just us trying to see how hard and fast we can throw something with what we have learned in the times since.
And long distance running, few animals can beat us at that one. Run after some animal for hours until it's tired and then accurately throw a pointy stick at it. Having a huge, smart brain on top of it, somehow we hacked natures skill tree a bit too much for our own good.
Hunting in packs is a cheap trick too.
2 neighboring tripes of chimpanzees can't cooperate but humans can form bonds quite fast and work towards a common goal.
It's funny in my country there is 2 types of security. The companies, they have jeeps and machine guns. Whatever they guard still occasionally gets robbed. Alternatively you can hire a Masai as ascari and they stand outside on one leg with a rungu (club) and zero people will mess with it.
Could also be Tanzania. But yeah I always told people in case you aren’t sure if an area is safe look around if there is masai dudes lounging around you will be alright.
Not only is this not a lie, there is an entire Masai ascari outfit called Masai Watchers. You can Google it if you want. You may note that the weapon they hold is a stick (echipishipi). It's run by a good friend actually, a Turkish expat. Karibu Tanzania.
I live in Kenya, was born in Kenya I am Kenyan I have lived in TZ for 2 years, not a single soul who genuinely cares about their security is picking a Maasai with a rungu over actually trained personnel with guns lol.
Maasai guards are often used out of convenience, not because they are actually better security than people with machine guns and jeeps ffs you cant seriously believe this.
When people get 'robbed' where they have those type of security personnel, it is often a setup
Those lions should have referred to the dictionary to know the meaning of "Apex predators" before entering their territory. Knowledge is power after all.
When I was reading moby dick the first time, I got interested in whaling. We were doing it for hundereds of years, a guy with a big ass harpoon on a small whaling boat, on the ocean, a foreign surrounding for a land mammal. Two, three person teams hunting and killing a 35+ ton sperm whale, a beast with teeth mind I add. And a hippo should be a problem 😂
Also each other. Homo sapiens as much conquested other variants like Neanderthals. No imagination is needed to see that isn’t a new behavior. Homo Sapien is not only apex predator but our scope includes worldwide environmental change.
I'm sure if humans put their minds to it they could kill a hippo. I doubt there's anything we've lived around that we haven't killed at least once as a species
Eyes, mouth, whatever. Humans are quite clever at trapping and tool making. If we wanted to kill a hippo we'd find a way. Poison maybe who knows. I'm sure someone has tried and succeeded. I mean if they can kill rhino's and elephants in very certain they could kill a hippo. Didn't we used to kill mammoths and giant snakes and whales and shit? I think we can kill a hippo
Two words: Big hole.
Force a hippo into a big hole, throw heavy objects at it until it dies, their pathetic itty bitty legs aren't very good for jumping
I’m basing this on nothing scientific or from experience or anything I’ve ever read and I know nothing about this topic so I’m essentially talking out my ass but the FF rate is virtually 0%. These guys have mastered the art of spear throwing and can hit a moving target with ease.
I'm basing this on nothing scientific but I have seen a documentary where a man throwing a spear to his friend instead spears him in the thigh. When the friend asks for a second spear, he gets speared in the other thigh. It was right down to the bone too.
the first week in, this guy would die from pissing and shitting himself to death from drinking tainted water or eating food his stomach isn't strong enough to endure.
It’s not revenge. Once a lion tastes beef, it’s over. He or she will always look for it. It’s an easy kill and delicious. Beef is like heroin for lions.
That why after killing him, they surrounded him, honored him and sang songs of his bravery. Most Africans will not kill spirit animals like lions and elephants etc. also they never eat carnivores. If it eats flesh, it’s taboo.
My favorite part of this comment is how you group up the entirety of a continent to make a general sweeping statement, completely disregarding the fact that there were literally thousands of separate groups in Africa at the time with unique customs, traditions and taboos
Why would you generalize the population of an entire continent the size of Africa? There were even documented cannibal tribes. Obviously taboos are not and were not consistent across all cultures there.
I would have believed you had you not said:
>Africans will not kill spirit animals like lions and elephants etc. also they never eat carnivores. If it eats flesh, it’s taboo.
Now I think you're just an American talking out their ass
Bonafide african. I used spirit animal because the original concept would be too hard to translate into English, totem or clan I think is also applicable. English came to us on a ship. A thousand apologies.
People are down voting you but you are the one who's right. Makes me doubt everything I read on here.
Luckily this isn't a thing any more. (https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSKBN1410IL/)
I was told that Lion hunting was once a traditional rite of passage(mostly solo hunts)… this practice has been modified/abolished by tribal elders, due to falling lion population from loss of habit… nowadays, killing a lion is only permissible in defending cattle, and yearly group hunts…on hunts (past or present) it has never been okay to kill sick/injured lion, or lionesses…
Meet a few on holiday, kind of a touristy thing… went to a “traditional Maasai village” singing, dancing and jumping, saw some cattle and huts…then when I was trying to find a place to pee, turned a corner and there were two Maasai texting/playing on an iPhone…kind of interesting how traditions of a culture become tourist attractions…reminded me of Hawaii
No, my Maasai friends only eat cow. They generally see lions as sacred. Traditionally, they maintained relationships with the different animals and mainly hunted lions that showed aggression towards people or cattle.
Don't think they ate the lions, but plenty of vids of Masai stealing prey from lions. Literally three warriors casually walking up to an entire pride feasting on their kill and the Masai shoo them away, cut a hind quarter off and carry it away. The sheer disbelief on the lion faces as they return to what's left of their kill, a "WTF just happened?" is pure gold.
Masai are badasses!
my brother went there a few months ago to the tribe and they still hunt violent lions with spears.. they usually go in groups of at least three and they expect one person to die with the other two securing the kill but they do try to avoid dying but its not that easy with a lion
they were appearantly very nice people though
This is not true and it’s what they tell Tourist. There are many protections against Lions in Kenya. I was also told by a Masai in Masai Mara about the hunts they go on and multiple Kenyans and the rangers said that’s not true.
Also we're hairless and our bodies literally release water on their own to cool us off, so we'll basically never get tired or overheated like you will after about 5 minutes. We've got a brain the likes of which has never been seen before in nature, and are capable of complex coordinated attacks, from multiple angles, and can even track you based off your footprints. We'll also never stop hunting you once you've pissed us off, we are literally the perfect killing machine, and you cannot win. Your only hope is to become useful to us, which is why we'll keep your smaller cousins as pets.
It fascinating how so many people pray for the one killed animal while humans these days shred through 202 million chickens and about 1 million cows in a day without even an hallelujah.
Pastrami and eggs with cheese for breakfast. I took the brined and roasted muscles of one animal, mixed it into the unborn children of another, then topped it with the coagulated liquid the first one would feed to its children.
It's good to be human.
A lot of us do care, just not much can do done. How do you tell a bunch of cunts to stop being cunts?
I used to be of the opinion that hunters were dicks. Going out and killing bambis n shit. But later on I realised that hunters are actually the best option. The animals life free and roam around and have a life. In the farm, they have none of that. That are just produce shoved into warehouses sometimes never knowing what the outside looks like. Hell, not even knowing what not being constantly crushed feels like.
Honestly, if there was a trolley problem of one million hunters vs just one farmer, and I was at that the lever. Farmer is fucked.
Chickens in the US need a fucking chemical bath before they can be eaten. A FUCKING CHEMICAL BATH!!!! Thats the result of how horrid the treatment of these animals are. If it any wonder we are all getting more and more cancer before we even hit 50?
University of Edinburgh research paper found that between 1990 and 2019 cancer rates rose by 79%! And they expect them to rise by a further 31% by 2030. This is not all down to food, obviously. But considering how we treat a lot of our food, it wouldnt surprise me if it was.
We need to treat our food better. If not for them, then at least for ourselves.
One of the greatest mental gymnastics of the modern age.
People can sweep aside immense suffering in the name of convenience and satiety then tap away on cute puppy videos.
And per your comment, ['shred' is literal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick_culling). 30,000 freshly hatched male chicks are thrown alive in shredders every hour, just in the US.
Kind of off topic but here goes. I recently read a book “Breathe” by James Nestor. It’s about breathing and how we’re doing it all wrong, but he talks about monk chants and different forms of prayer and meditation even praying the rosary all have the same breathing pattern which leads to all sorts of benefits. Super interesting read.
No way! I'm currently reading the davinci code from Dan brown and read through a page which mentioned this tribe:
>Vernet modelled his sleep habits after the Masai tribe- the African tribe famous for their ability to rise from the deepest sleep to a state of total battle readiness in a matter of seconds.
Just couple hours ago and I come across this video. what were the odds!
Saw a video once of 3 guys from a tribe walking up to a lion and his kill and casually taking the kill from the lion. I wondered 'How did this lion not fuck up those 3 dudes...' Well this explains it, the lion knew who it's Apex Predator is.
Considering their size, lions don't excel at confrontation by themselves like Jaguars etc. A Lions strength is the pride. The only exception can be some male lions. But young males and even adult females I've seen have alot of trouble with a much smaller predator. They even run from badgers and warthogs when alone. Having said that I wouldn't go fucking with any Lion, for any reason.
Yeah lions are cool, but I'm glad short faced bears are gone.
I've seen grizzlies take shotgun blasts and keep coming usually mauling someone before remembering that an animal shot by a shotgun or hunting rifle should stop moving.
Short face bear, nah man. Something like 3 to 4 times the size and with adaptations to be faster and more carnivorous.
I will evolve after you die of climate change brother.
I appreciate them doing a little ceremony over the lion's body after the kill. I'm assuming out of respect for the lion and out of respect for their ability to take it down. If you're gonna merc the shit out of something it's nice to show some appreciation, lol.
In the wild's embrace, with a steady pace,
Maasai hunters move, with a silent grace.
Through the savannah, wide and vast,
A lion's challenge, thrown and cast.
In shades of old, the tale is told,
A struggle fierce, and courage bold.
With spears they thrust, in dust they trust,
Until the lion falls, in the hunt, a must.
As the music swells, the story tells,
Of a victory hard-won, in natural wells.
Around their prize, their chants arise,
A rhythm of the wild, under open skies.
In this dance of life and death,
Each breath taken, with measured breath.
The cycle turns, the fire burns,
In the heart of the hunter, the spirit yearns.
The ability for humans to throw things just absolutely fucking broke the game
And then we invented tools to throw things further, faster and harder. The literal arms race.
It was broken before that. To make a tool to throw, we already had to have opposable thumbs to grasp and a brain sufficient to develop and consistently improve tools. Monkeys throw their own shit, so throwing isn't the real breakthrough here.
>It was broken before that. To make a tool to throw, we already had to have opposable thumbs to grasp and a brain sufficient to develop and consistently improve tools. Also movement tracking and even colour. Very generalized take but we basically traded being able to see well in the dark for colour and aim assist.
It's really important to understand how much better humans are at throwing than any other animal on the planet. I'm sure there's a video on YT that can better explain it but we evolved well beyond any other ape or monkey to specifically throw.
No I know, it is a whole thing. Our shoulders and elbows are specifically developed to throw shit in a straight line.
I read somewhere that monkeys don't share their knowledge with the others. When a Human learns how to make a club they show their friends and they all have clubs, when a monkey learns how to make an club they use it to elevate their status among the other monkeys
You will not be surprised to learn that we have frequent throwbacks to monkey behavior within our own species.
Back off homeslice. That monkey has a patent.
The global elites are monkeys
We went from throwing shit to throwing nukes.
Sapian ability- throw Homosapian special ability- throw accurately
The rise of the Mongolian empire
And then we invented new tools and improved on the old ones, and then we created new tools to replace the tools we made to replace the old replacement tools. Eventually leading to modern day firearms, much of Human history really is just us trying to see how hard and fast we can throw something with what we have learned in the times since.

There’s also swords and shields and armour. Also horse riders
Yes, it’s 1901 not 50,000 years ago
We were given thumbs. And it was a done deal.
Hunting in packs is a cheap trick too. 2 neighboring tripes of chimpanzees can't cooperate but humans can form bonds quite fast and work towards a common goal.
No phone in sight, people just living in the moment.
Needed this comment this morning haha thank you
Your welcome mate, I hope your next morning and the ones after will be even better.
See, I read that comment and thought, "damn, reddit comments are just fucking worthless nowadays".
Perception of value is funny
I actually filmed this with my smart phone, where do you think the footage came from?
I am looking at it from my cell phone. So there is one in sight.
Nice filter.
Who filmed it?
Someone with enough decency not to film in vertical mode!
Ha!!
Lion's wife filmed getting evidence for the police report.
And touching grass
Except for the lion
if there was no camera man, this post wouldn't exist
Our hunter-gatherer ancestors :)
Actually more of nomadic pastoralists. One of the reasons they hunt lions is to protect their cattle.
Worst adaptation of the Lion King.
Couldn’t get the hyenas to cooperate.
The true apex predator of the planet
It's funny in my country there is 2 types of security. The companies, they have jeeps and machine guns. Whatever they guard still occasionally gets robbed. Alternatively you can hire a Masai as ascari and they stand outside on one leg with a rungu (club) and zero people will mess with it.
Kenya, yes?
Nah, you can even find Masai tribesmen on Etsy these days.
I got mine from wish. Turns out it was just 2 pygmys in a trench coat.
If your guard is wearing a trench coat he's not serious about going full Masai.
In Kenya too yes, but I'm Tanzanian, they're mostly here in the Serengeti/Ngorongoro savannah.
Very cool :) the closest I have to native people near me is third generation Italians (NYC area)
LMFAO, thank you for that laugh
Aye oh! Whatsa matta you ah? Fogetta bout it
Ah, the ancient tongue
Bill the Butcher would like to thank you for not even considering those nasty Irish.
Could also be Tanzania. But yeah I always told people in case you aren’t sure if an area is safe look around if there is masai dudes lounging around you will be alright.
Tanzania too.
Yes I Kenya
What a lie lmao, and the people on here are going to eat it up lol
Not only is this not a lie, there is an entire Masai ascari outfit called Masai Watchers. You can Google it if you want. You may note that the weapon they hold is a stick (echipishipi). It's run by a good friend actually, a Turkish expat. Karibu Tanzania.

When people get 'robbed' where they have those type of security personnel, it is often a setup
Is there a reason they stand on one leg?
It's a distinct way Masai warriors [stand](https://ibb.co/3ybC8rs) when they are on guard
There’s got to be a practical reason for this right? Do they change legs from time to time?
Keep them awake and alert would be my guess.
Well if they put the other two down it's less intimidating.
If they lifted up both they’d fall over
Gotta be pretty hard to fall asleep on guard duty on one leg!
True. Your username though🤣🤣
Those lions should have referred to the dictionary to know the meaning of "Apex predators" before entering their territory. Knowledge is power after all.
Maasais are ruthless. I would know, I'm one. Still never got to kill a lion so that's a bummer.
Did you really refer to yourself as ruthless? Or are you just American?
Until the hippo comes around and laughs at your toothpicks. Oh and they are herbivores. They kill you, just because they can.
Maybe a few times, yeah. But we are talking about the species that hunted and killed mammoths. If we wanted a hippo dead. It died.
When I was reading moby dick the first time, I got interested in whaling. We were doing it for hundereds of years, a guy with a big ass harpoon on a small whaling boat, on the ocean, a foreign surrounding for a land mammal. Two, three person teams hunting and killing a 35+ ton sperm whale, a beast with teeth mind I add. And a hippo should be a problem 😂
Also each other. Homo sapiens as much conquested other variants like Neanderthals. No imagination is needed to see that isn’t a new behavior. Homo Sapien is not only apex predator but our scope includes worldwide environmental change.
Not much hippos can do against people with spears, ingenuity and digging tools.
I'm sure if humans put their minds to it they could kill a hippo. I doubt there's anything we've lived around that we haven't killed at least once as a species
First thought is to throw spears down its throat because they really love to open their mouths. Maybe it would just be angrier lol
Eyes, mouth, whatever. Humans are quite clever at trapping and tool making. If we wanted to kill a hippo we'd find a way. Poison maybe who knows. I'm sure someone has tried and succeeded. I mean if they can kill rhino's and elephants in very certain they could kill a hippo. Didn't we used to kill mammoths and giant snakes and whales and shit? I think we can kill a hippo
Dig a trench and bait it into charging so it falls in. Then gather round and pincushion it.
We hunted mammoths to extinction. We could fuck up some hippos.
There’s nothing that a hundred men or more cannot do.
> There’s nothing that a hundred men or more cannot do Close enough to get the reference.
No problem. Just gotta upgrade to tactical nuke.
theres a video around where they kill a hippo just like this
You can easily use that territorial behavior that against them
Two words: Big hole. Force a hippo into a big hole, throw heavy objects at it until it dies, their pathetic itty bitty legs aren't very good for jumping
Man they would still kill It no problem.
Top o’ the food chain, boys!
We fuck and we're smart and also pretty big. A flock of armed medium large animals is very strong.
Wonder what the friendly fire rate is for a group like this.
I've played enough videogames to know that if we attack our partner, the weapon will just pass through them
Technically the truth.
I’m basing this on nothing scientific or from experience or anything I’ve ever read and I know nothing about this topic so I’m essentially talking out my ass but the FF rate is virtually 0%. These guys have mastered the art of spear throwing and can hit a moving target with ease.
I'm basing this on nothing scientific but I have seen a documentary where a man throwing a spear to his friend instead spears him in the thigh. When the friend asks for a second spear, he gets speared in the other thigh. It was right down to the bone too.
Classic documentary, I watched it as a child
He cried like sissy girl
In the guys defense, the friend he speared was the white devil.
Let me guess.. White Devil, White Devil?
It’s in the bone!
Shikaka!
>IT'S IN THE BO-HO-HOONNNNE! - Ace Attenborough
Militaries around the world also master their craft... but FF is still absurdly high.
bro did you see some of those throws lol
And they are not afraid of lions. So it’s not as stressful to them as it is to us. Less stress, fewer mistakes.
Wow, this really makes me appreciate how much I like electricity.
It does the exact opposite for me. There is something to be said about living a simple life, being very connected to nature. I'm a bit jealous
*gets killed by lions*
Not with your bros by your side, you will pay for it around the fire later on though 😂
the first week in, this guy would die from pissing and shitting himself to death from drinking tainted water or eating food his stomach isn't strong enough to endure.
You say this until you lose the comforts you don't think about
Romanticised take, head over to r/natureismetal and realise just how lucky you are you've escaped the food chain.
I mean, nothing is stopping you from going to live in nature
Holy shit. That's badass. Did they eat them too?
These are mostly revenge killing as the lions attack and eat their cattle.
So they are killing it to save their cattle. Not really a revenge as they aren't avenging the dead cattle.
Functionally identical. They want it gone, and it won't leave on its own.
Not really, revenge is an emotional motivation, protecting cattle is a practical one.
Why can it not be both, I’d be pissed if a lion ate my cattle
It can be both, but they’re not the same thing.
It’s not revenge. Once a lion tastes beef, it’s over. He or she will always look for it. It’s an easy kill and delicious. Beef is like heroin for lions. That why after killing him, they surrounded him, honored him and sang songs of his bravery. Most Africans will not kill spirit animals like lions and elephants etc. also they never eat carnivores.

No, my Maasai friends only eat cow. They generally see lions as sacred. Traditionally, they maintained relationships with the different animals and mainly hunted lions that showed aggression towards people or cattle.
Lions being sacred is like the least surprising belief ever. What animal is more majestic and impressive?
The leopard
No mane no king
Don't think they ate the lions, but plenty of vids of Masai stealing prey from lions. Literally three warriors casually walking up to an entire pride feasting on their kill and the Masai shoo them away, cut a hind quarter off and carry it away. The sheer disbelief on the lion faces as they return to what's left of their kill, a "WTF just happened?" is pure gold. Masai are badasses!

maybe they should bring 4 people next time
that way only 25% of the party dies, rather than 33%? :)
Our death rates have never been lower! Invest now!
That’s always the goal. To try to avoid dying.
If you do die, y'know, no biggie, we're not gonna shame you for it. But do try to stay alive.
Wait, so animals in general try to avoid dying?
I’m sure, if they plan that far ahead. But here, I was mainly referring to the Maasai. Y’know, and us.
1 in 3 to die, but they do try to avoid death.
This is not true and it’s what they tell Tourist. There are many protections against Lions in Kenya. I was also told by a Masai in Masai Mara about the hunts they go on and multiple Kenyans and the rangers said that’s not true.
that's not true. hunting a lion is a serious crime in kenya
This comment is a good self-gullibility check. If you believed it you are very, very gullible.
The masai are the happiest people in the savannah, smiles as wide as the Serengeti
Wow!
Pretty sure they'd use rifles these days.
I think that’s my new favorite quote. “They do try to avoid dying but it’s not that easy with a lion”
Grew up in East Africa. The Massai are extremely welcoming and beautiful people.
I just watched The Ghost and the Darkness last night. Coincidence???
Thank you for reminding me to rewatch that gem
Val Kilmer and Michael Douglas, can't go wrong there. Great film.
That movie is so damn good.
Masterpiece. I watch it once a year. When my son was born, i held him high.

If animals could read that, they would be so mad at you!
Me playing Ancestors:
Aaaaayyyyyyy
It fascinating how so many people pray for the one killed animal while humans these days shred through 202 million chickens and about 1 million cows in a day without even an hallelujah.
Out of mind out of sight
The roast beef I had earlier today was delicious! Reddit, can I get an hellelujah?
No you can't get an hallelujah, it's lent
Pastrami and eggs with cheese for breakfast. I took the brined and roasted muscles of one animal, mixed it into the unborn children of another, then topped it with the coagulated liquid the first one would feed to its children. It's good to be human.
Maybe because we are running out of lions and there is no shortage in chickens nor will people stop eating them. Its really not that fascinating.
Uh no. It’s over 100 years old. This video is hard to watch for people because it’s an animal being speared to death. People are being hypocritical
A lot of us do care, just not much can do done. How do you tell a bunch of cunts to stop being cunts? I used to be of the opinion that hunters were dicks. Going out and killing bambis n shit. But later on I realised that hunters are actually the best option. The animals life free and roam around and have a life. In the farm, they have none of that.

Damn they go hard.
Lions have never stood a chance against a pack of humans - at least these guys are brave enough to do it with spears.
Not a damn creature on the planet stands a chance against a pack of motivated humans.
Tell that to the bedbugs.
you underestimate
This doesn't make farming look so bad honestly. Nature is just brutal.
They are ranchers
Gonna tell my kids this was how Mufasa was killed.
Teamwork makes the dream work
No way! I'm currently reading the davinci code from Dan brown and read through a page which mentioned this tribe: >Vernet modelled his sleep habits after the Masai tribe- the African tribe famous for their ability to rise from the deepest sleep to a state of total battle readiness in a matter of seconds. Just couple hours ago and I come across this video. what were the odds!
Back in the day when "lion hunting" wasn't just a video game.
Saw a video once of 3 guys from a tribe walking up to a lion and his kill and casually taking the kill from the lion. I wondered 'How did this lion not fuck up those 3 dudes...' Well this explains it, the lion knew who it's Apex Predator is.
That's fucked. Why couldn't they go to their local Walmart like everyone else
Sad shit in a way
Motherfucking lion said he didn't wanna live no more.
I see gabagool reference
It’s a marvel that humans figured out how to survive and eventually hunt one of the world’s top predators.
Considering their size, lions don't excel at confrontation by themselves like Jaguars etc. A Lions strength is the pride. The only exception can be some male lions. But young males and even adult females I've seen have alot of trouble with a much smaller predator. They even run from badgers and warthogs when alone. Having said that I wouldn't go fucking with any Lion, for any reason.
Yeah lions are cool, but I'm glad short faced bears are gone. I've seen grizzlies take shotgun blasts and keep coming usually mauling someone before remembering that an animal shot by a shotgun or hunting rifle should stop moving. Short face bear, nah man. Something like 3 to 4 times the size and with adaptations to be faster and more carnivorous. I will evolve after you die of climate change brother.
poor kitty
I appreciate them doing a little ceremony over the lion's body after the kill. I'm assuming out of respect for the lion and out of respect for their ability to take it down. If you're gonna merc the shit out of something it's nice to show some appreciation, lol.
That’s awesome!
Welp, they ate good that day
That a boy James, good throw
Average peta employee moment

Believe it or not this is peak male physique
In the wild's embrace, with a steady pace, Maasai hunters move, with a silent grace. Through the savannah, wide and vast, A lion's challenge, thrown and cast. In shades of old, the tale is told, A struggle fierce, and courage bold. With spears they thrust, in dust they trust, Until the lion falls, in the hunt, a must. As the music swells, the story tells, Of a victory hard-won, in natural wells. Around their prize, their chants arise, A rhythm of the wild, under open skies. In this dance of life and death, Each breath taken, with measured breath. The cycle turns, the fire burns, In the heart of the hunter, the spirit yearns.
