When it comes to hunting for a meal, lions know how to get the job done. Females work together to encircle and capture their prey, while the male stays behind to look after the cubs. Surprisingly, lions don’t have a lot of stamina, and can only run in short bursts. This is why they will stalk and sneak up on their prey before striking, as they need to get as close as they can or else risk having their meal outrun them.
