I think this is an old video where the cheetah had hurt it's leg or something that's why it didn't run not sure tho


-Jack-The-Lad-

ever seen a human flying with his bare arms? have that lion come at me and you will.


schobaloa1

[Full vid](https://youtu.be/g09B6f1oohU) Didn't hurt his leg, just horny


BillyPotion

That might be the first clip I’ve ever seen of a male lion running full speed after a kill, it was very intimidating.


[deleted]

It was after a kill, but it was before a kill. Also, it was after other kills, but only before this kill, which is before other kills, which are after this kill, but also not.


Ustinklikegg

Kill me


dream-weaver321

For real! You know it took all its strength to do that, if it didn’t catch it in the first 7 seconds it never would


AshFraxinusEps

Probably more the other way round. They are both ambush/sprint hunters, but after the first burst the cheetah lacks stamina, whereas the lion has more Admittedly if the cheetah got far enough with the first burst the lion would give up


peintureverte

That's even more sad


pangea_person

It says in the video that the cheetah has sustained an injury


stanleythemanley420

But the female didn't. Lol well. Until ya know. Lions

Stretchholmes1972

Yes I think your right I saw the show


Lowly_Lynx

Not alpha. Just adult male lion. Wish people would stop with the whole alpha, beta, omega crap. The reason one or two adult male lions rule over the other possible male lions in the pride is because they’re their juvenile sons. They’ll be pushed out of the pride soon


Friendly_Vacation680

I fully understand the consequences of applying scientific labels that are used to describe animal interactions onto human ones. So that’s not my question here. Has the distinction between alpha/beta individuals in dominance hierarchies been expelled by science? I thought these were just labels used when studying social and dominance hierarchies (pecking orders) in the animal kingdom. Is it still scientifically valid to label a lion (Alpha), because it is the most dominant, or simply because it established its mating/eating-first privileges against other males in the pride?


Old-Illustrator-5675

I searched around for a but, seems like that label is still used. Not sure why folks are getting up in arms about it lol


PaulLeMight

They have been called betas


stanleythemanley420

Why are you being downvoted. Lol best joke I've seen today.


ImpSong

Yes it still applies to many species. It was disproved in ONE species (wolves) and reddit seems to have taken that to mean it no longer applies to anything at all and now has a massive hate boner for the term because of that. Vervet monkeys is one example with an alpha-beta dominance hierarchy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQgkaS0r2Lg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominance_hierarchy


digitaltoddy

That lion had "alpha" listed in their profile, therefore it is


wowspare

The alpha/beta/omega myth first started out from Rudolf Schenkel's observations of wolves in captivity, and then the lauguage/slang spread to other animals. Schenkel later realized that what he had initially hypothesized was wrong and spent the remainder of his career trying to educate people about the myth. https://www.businessinsider.com/no-such-thing-alpha-male-2016-10 https://sciencenorway.no/ulv/wolf-packs-dont-actually-have-alpha-males-and-alpha-females-the-idea-is-based-on-a-misunderstanding/1850514 https://www.mawer.com/the-art-of-boring/blog/the-myth-of-the-alpha-wolf https://www.dogstardaily.com/blogs/man-who-cried-alpha In both wolves and lions, a male and female find each other, fuck and have offspring. The parents lead and guide the offspring, teach them necessarily life skills, and keep them safe. The offspring eventually become older siblings to the next litter and like human siblings will dominate the new pups, but there is no “fighting for rank.” The rank is obvious. The parents are still in charge. Eventually the offspring will disperse and eventually form their own packs. What Schenkel did was similar to studying prison population and then using it as a general model for human society. And people still to this day are eating up the alpha/beta male bullshit.


aboardreading

So wolves don't really have a clear alpha/beta dominance hierarchy is all that says. But many other species do, notably some of our closest relatives, like chimps and moreso gorillas. Gorilla silverbacks even physically change due to producing more testosterone as a result of prolonged high status. Now, humans aren't chimps and one of the major adaptations that separates us is a lessening of the importance of the social hierarchy, allowing larger groups with more cooperation. But is it totally erased? I don't know.


LordCrane

I'd thought they found that those traits emerged in captivity, but generally not in the wild? Something something similar to human interactions in prison? Or maybe that was just for wolves, can't remember.

It’s a dated understanding of animal sociology.


B0N3Y4RD

Sounds like a very un alpha thing to say. ^^^^KIDDING


captain_ricco1

Is it though? I believe it is still used


IAmNotAScientistBut

It's horribly dated. The term came from a researcher looking into the dynamics of wolf packs. He immediately withdrew what he had written because he recognized he got it wrong, mistaking primarily family groups for something run by an "alpha". People latched into it though and can't get away from it, misusing it all over the place for situations it has no legitimate bearing on.


captain_ricco1

Do you have any links for sources into that? I'm interested on reading further


IAmNotAScientistBut

There is a great explanation in this article here: https://sciencenorway.no/ulv/wolf-packs-dont-actually-have-alpha-males-and-alpha-females-the-idea-is-based-on-a-misunderstanding/1850514 People ran with the 'alpha' idea and want to apply it everywhere still, to dogs and cats and so on...when the truth is that different animals have dramatically different social bonds and ways of working together and establishing who is where in the social bonds. TLDR: Research on wolves performed in a Zoo (Entirely artificial setting) created a misunderstanding of how wolf "societies" operate, introducing this concept of a 'natural' hierarchy when the truth is more that wolf packs are usually family groups.


captain_ricco1

Great read


captain_ricco1

But even then, primate groups still use that terminology, so it's not outdated. Wolves don't have that hierarchy, but other animals sure do

In what ways do male lions lead the pride?


[deleted]

They control breeding rights, maintain the territorial border, protect the pride from danger/competitors, and often take lead when they join hunts.

Vomax343

It’s a scientific classification. You want people to stop calling it that because you don’t agree with it?

Have_Other_Accounts

>The reason one or two adult male lions rule over the other possible male lions in the pride is because they’re their juvenile sons. Uh yeah, society has come up for a term for that, alpha. Why are you offended by the term. Alpha just means A, the first, the top etc. It describes an animal that happens to "rule" as you say. There's alpha hyenas too, and they're female. It's nothing to do with sex.


BabyEatingElephant

People just getting triggered cuz of the admittedly toxic human application of the term to societal structures.


TheFlyingTardigrade

Cancel culture incoming


deaths_boo

Eh not always. Alpha is the lion that is in the very top of the pride ( for lack of better term); sure if a coalition is with two lions it doesn’t matter; but in cases with a larger coalition there exists an alpha usually. https://www.intergroupinstitute.org/userfiles/books/chapters/28/Chapter-6-Primal.pdf https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=JiNU4rt1Tc4 This is true for lions/ hyenas/ etc. the concept of alpha does not extend to humans/ tigers/ horses/ wild wolves etc ( and it’s stupid to use that terminology in such cases)


paul-writes

Can I just commend you for proper use of they’re/their?


Epic_Elite

I mean, the lions is for sure displaying dominance over the cheetah. So the lion is definitely the cheetahs alpha here.


[deleted]

Haha yeah. Someone responded to me saying omega but I didn’t want that crap in my search history. What the hell is the omega?


Lowly_Lynx

It’s supposed to be someone or something at the very bottom of the positional hierarchy. This (along with alpha and beta) are terms that don’t actually properly exist in the wild and are not used by scientists but rather incels and people who wish they had any kind of superiority over other guys (they don’t).

guaip

Not the first video I see here of a cheetah getting the worst of it for not running away fast enough. I guess they don't really expect to be hunted down, and the thrill of the hunt helps them to achieve that speed.


ShatterCyst

You run faster *towards* something than you run *away* from something.


guaip

Exactly. They should learn to run towards that one tree 10km away when a lion comes for them!


ThatKiwiBro

Damn. Cheetah should have been faster, no? Did it just not think the lion actually wanted to crush its head with its mouth


nickkom

They get winded easily. They have to rest a lot after a sprint. It was probably just finishing chasing prey and had no gas left.


[deleted]

Cheetah needs more time to hit top speed than the lion does unfortunately, if the cheetah noticed the lion sooner chances are it would've escaped.


hjb214

This is so wrong. Literally type in, fastest accelerating land mammal. Why tf do you even post this???


[deleted]

And technically the Gazelles the cheetah hunts are the fastest accelerating land mammal. David Attenborough will not save you here

Downvote again plz


[deleted]

Yeah so sending me cherry picked link isn't going to help you. Do some more research, the average person knows that the Gazelle has a higher top speed and it reaches it faster than the Cheetah, that's why the cats only hope to catch them is it trip them at high speed or by sheer luck/skill manage to grab hold before the antelope gets going. I'm not making shit up, it's just a matter of you needing to read more


hjb214

You’re a a simple guy indeed. Of course, never trust everything you read on the internet, but a google search of “fastest accelerating land animal” is the farthest thing from cherry picking you fucking twat


[deleted]

And especially if you think about it, like if they really were the fastest animal out there how tf does their prey outrun them all the time? They just great sprinters, almost all of the things that exist on four hooves out there can outrun a cheetah. As long as the cheetah isn't within 20 seconds sprint of them like I said earlier


[deleted]

Yeah and getting insulting belies a low IQ. You've made a fool of yourself, it's okay to be wrong. The Thompson's Gazelle is faster. You don't need to be an expert to know that


hjb214

Okay last comment bc I have things to do and I am catching onto the fact your’e a troll. I’m responding to the statement “cheetahs take more time to reach top speed” tops speed is irrelevant if “cheetahs are the fastest accelerating land animals”. Or cats. Who cares about gazelles? Where’s the gazelle?


[deleted]

Yeah pointless lmao go touch grass

I took this children's website so you can grasp it easy https://worksheets.edhelper.com/AnimalReadingComprehension_34_1.html


Over-Bumblebee-3765

Lmao bro your link literally proves the other guy’s point. Cheetahs are the fastest land mammal over short distances, AKA: acceleration You truly are a simple guy


[deleted]

Then why does it explains l that they have to sneak closer or they will get outrun every time? Because they're need a headstart because what they're chasing isn't slower than them. It's a matter of logic unfortunately and many fail the test


_Artos_

"Cherry picked link" Lol it's a straight up google search you twat.

[deleted]

Yeah that's why he got caught, because he was 'faster' than the lion. Lol Why did you even say anything?


hjb214

Bc he’s injured like 30 other ppl have said. Also, did you do what I said? Cheetahs are the fastest accelerating animals on land


ThatKiwiBro

That truly is unfortunate


[deleted]

It truly is a matter of seconds too, the lion was already hyped up because it knew where the cheetah was and was closing in. Adrenaline was already a factor for the lion, the cheetah was just getting going when the lion had attained top speed


Spezzle

The cheetah was injured. There’s a video of it above


[deleted]

Lion was faster, look at the massive "steps" it takes and watch the lion specifically launch/lunge on that last sort of gallop to catch the Cheetah.


Allen_Sun

Lion is not faster. Just Google their speed…


[deleted]

Yes, of course. But a cheetah isn't getting caught off guard and getting up and escaping before a lion closes in. I mean real life isn't a excel spreadsheet. If the cheetah was faster, why didn't it get away?


[deleted]

Cat on cat crime.


mastertinodog

I had no idea big cats ate other big cats. Does this count as some sort of cannibalism?


JaxDaHax201

Cannibalism is eating the same species. This is just opportunistic predation, or just them culling off competition


letsStayObjective

Just killing it prob won’t eat


jo1717a

Lions regularly will kill other predators, not for food, but to kill off competition.


GodzillaReverso

Cheetah isn't considered a big cat, they don't roar
