Lions may be nothing more than oversized kitty cats, just with huge teeth and a vicious nature, but I still wouldn’t want to meet one down a dark alleyway.

Nor would I want to battle one like some crackpot did, somehow managing to live to tell the tale, and put the video of his exploits on YouTube.

But obviously I don’t have to, I can sit in my house avoiding lions all day. Unfortunately no all creatures are afforded the same luxury, and that group even includes giraffes.

I never thought I’d see a pack of lions hunt down a giraffe, but it happens, as this video proves.

What’s even more amazing is that the lions win, as despite putting up a brave fight against his hunters, the last shot is the great creature being eaten. Wow.
