Wow. Just wow. It's unbelievable to think that even something as big as an elephant can fall prey to the mighty lion. Such an impressive animal. And while I'm on the subject can I just give a big thank you to Sir David Attenborough. Such a knowledgable narrator. I doubt we will ever see someone of his quality ever again, or at least not in my lifetime. Everything he lends his name and his expertise to is just incredible. On behalf of everyone here, thank you so much David. From the bottom of our hearts.
I grew up watching David Attenboroughs nature documentaries he's as good today as he was back all those years ago. Long may he continue and I'll keep watching
It’s is truly amazing that those cats can bring down something that huge. I mean when you look in a lions face you just see nobility and fearlessness . Love this mans narration!
Even if the elephant is not fully grown, a lion alone can never ever kill an elephant. They are not lions, they are pigs. Why all of you in comment section praising lions, they are so many, elephant is alone. If too many cowards beat a mighty warrior then you will praise the cowards, not at all, always love elephant. Lions are not great. They never win one on one fights with elephant
That man had some balls... Calmly talking as if he is in the studio recording, yet several apex predators surround him in the dark... He can't see them... But they can see him.
@@navinkumar9126 actually the real apex predators were probably buzzing around in thousands and Sir David knows that's what he's need full protection against...
"in 1990 I tried to piss off some lions to make them roar but that didn't work so I came back 12 years later to try again only this time I decided to try while they were going to be ratty at night. Here I am sitting 4 yards from two big lions that I cannot see due to the darkness, but I'm not scared those roars that are hurting my ears due to their proximity are only communication roars. Yes I have massive balls and I am the man!" Is basically what David said there.
@@Marco..1 I don't think they are scared Male lions are known to be aggressive no matter the size they don't scare easy moreover the more you threaten them the more aggressive they get especially the young adults still I've seen in a lot videos where those vehicles are upclose and they don't even seem to bother it's like they notice us but don't see us as a threat it's still a mystery on why those lions don't even attack them.
@@Faizanmohammed because man is ruler...just gotta find your inner self... Man can tame any beast of the land or air..only beast that has not Been tamed by man is the tongue. The deadly serpent full of poison
wow when they all poked their heads up out of the brush was amazing. you would never know all those lions were right there until it was to late. extraordinary big cats.
This is nature, either one shouldn’t enjoy to tear an animal but naturally one should enjoy alot. The portraying, the voice and the camera. Stay blessed sir david.
It's fascinating to see the whole pride immediately sit up when they heard the roar. Lion researcher, Dr. Craig Packer, has found out that lions can count roars. They are the only animals known to be able to count! Sir David Attenbourgh is a treasure. I love the documentaries he narrates.
Lioness: "hey look, there's a juicy tender man over there!" :-p Lion: "nah, it's probably another prank. You remember what happened last time with that fake roar!"
That's why you like them. It's because they're majestic and have swag. They were created to dominate and not be dominated. They're only doing what they are supposed to do. Just watch the way a mature lion walks and monitors his domain.

I always breathe a small sigh of relief when I hear David Attenborough's voice. Even when he appears on screen, you know the focus is on the animals, and there will be no anthropomorphism. If natural history shows were more like that, instead of people making the shows about them, I'd watch a hell of a lot more natural history.
I don't know where I read this. But once a baby elephant got killed by the lions. The next day, all the elephants got together and killed all the lion cubs they could find. According to the narrator of that incident, it was the first instance of animal revenge ( at least to the best of the narrator's knowledge). As generally, animals are not vengeful, it was an odd and scary event. Thanks, YT and BBC Earth.
Agreed. I am not sure that a big bull elephant in his prime would be possible for any amount of lions. If it was in the mating season and the bull was hopped up on testosterone it would just attack the lions nonstop and never run. A few lions get gored or trampled and the rest would leave it as a bad job.
I grinned when Attenborough recalled narrating while not seeing where the lions were due to darkness (lions might be creeping silently towards him!). It's always difficult to watch pack hunting - whether it's lions or wolves or hyenas... the terror, the cruelty, and the helplessness of the hunted. It's equally frightening when a pack of dogs or a mob (humans) attacks. In comparison, when the solitary tiger hunts, it has more dignity and it's fairer for the hunted - at least it has a better chance.
graphite Sauropods can attack from behind, so the battle would be more jab just a chase. They were able to move surprisingly fast compared to other animals at their time due to their huge strides.
One day the lions and other big cats will figure out that you can reach into the car and there is nothing to stop you... worst probably is the camera man sitting on top of the keep.. that takes guts :)

Can we take a moment and appreciate that his man, 94 years old, is still with us? Wishing him good health
I think about this at least once a week. Someone should clone him.
Same
He is now 95, Christ, British people live longer than us lol
He is a globalist stooge so no, all reputation lost.
96 now 🎉🎉
One of the best, if not THE BEST narrator for wildlife documentaries out there. Bless you, Sir David!
Not one of the best. Simply the best!
That dude who plays the voice of scar does a good job as well
I like Scar
IMO, he is the best by far
He needs to believe in God first before you can ask blessings for him. He is an evolutionist. After all this knowledge he still denies creation.
I honestly feel this man should live a 1000 years.:(
Same! :(
My grandparents didn’t. I enjoy his work, but there are others, and everyone has there time. His work won’t disappear anytime soon.
@@anthonyproffitt5341 yehhhhhhhh
The Lions did not feel threatened only because of Sir David Attenborough's voice.
varun joshi what do you wanna say ?
Toby Lama 1:33
He's so good at narrating that he motivates the Lions.

ماشاء الله مبدعه
0:21 all you see is emptiness and grass, it's scary how many lions were right THERE! and you saw nothing until it was too late.
Tempthang The full episode showed the elephant had gotten separated from the herd,chased this lioness stalking him, looked around, then oops! Wrong group, the lions woke up WTF? Dinner delivered!
TeMpThAnG that’s how they catch their at times.. undetected and unnoticed..
Like the one scene in jurassic park 3 with the velociraptors haha
It's crazy during the dry season. The yellow grass blends with their colour. A naive eye can't spot it until it's literally a few steps away.
Dude I almost shit my pants lmao that was scary

Tom tonka the new earth narrator is also good, but not* on David's level.
not on David's level*
Habsforthewin true true I typed too quick and I usually forget to proof read.
Tom tonka Lions are cowards comparing to tigers.
Tom tonka lions cant take down elephants
I grew up watching David Attenboroughs nature documentaries he's as good today as he was back all those years ago. Long may he continue and I'll keep watching
David: Lets make a fake roar.
Lions: is that a WIRE? It's a frrraaawrd.
Please make a comment, that is worth public consumption, or keep your amateur ways away from the internet,I ain't impressed you imbecile ✔♓
Be quiet you deceived son of devils.
I liked her comment. :)
Jack Gritty bitch that’s why u liked ur own comment
Jack Gritty you trying to be a smartass isn’t gonna cut it man.
You are a legend David attenborough 🖒
JOHNNY Walker true
Johnny walker. Absolutely spot on. I don't put people on a pedestal as a rule, but sir David deserves maximum respect. He is truly one of a kind .
He’s a lier
It’s is truly amazing that those cats can bring down something that huge. I mean when you look in a lions face you just see nobility and fearlessness . Love this mans narration!
L
It's an adolescent elephant, not a grown bull.
It’s equally unbelievable that an elephant would be alone without the herd to protect home.
Even if the elephant is not fully grown, a lion alone can never ever kill an elephant. They are not lions, they are pigs. Why all of you in comment section praising lions, they are so many, elephant is alone. If too many cowards beat a mighty warrior then you will praise the cowards, not at all, always love elephant. Lions are not great. They never win one on one fights with elephant
Its more impressive that a sub adult female elephant needs 30 lions to take it down.
"a few years later, similar technology allowed us to put a door on the side of the vehicle"
“A few years later, similar technology allowed us to film a lion hunt of elephants that we won’t show you.”
lmao
Lol
😁😁😁
Great one
Hearing such a deadly roar, close in the darkness and you don't know where it comes from... Will hit your spine with no doubt !!!
People like Sir David Attenborough are rare, he is perfection.
Attenborough's speech can make anything seem interesting. Amazing guy
I mean it would be interesting anyway lol
@@lordfreeza_ well you are right but you know what I meant... And you killed Krillin you monster!!! XD
0:25 imagine you're walking in this huge field of grass camouflaging all these lions and all of a sudden you see this pop up oh my goodness.
there is a clip of a guy walking into a pride while they are camoed as such
That voice is iconic
Lions definitely admire David Attenborough. He was such an easy target in that vehicle but lions decided against it.
You know that lions think you are part of the 'animal car' when you sit inside of it right?
@@ZORMnl unless the animals have lost their fear of people and start getting curious...
@@ZORMnl dude you underestimate. They know exactly what to hunt and expend energy on. And they know living from non-living.
ZORM
No, its not what they think,
In their entire life they dont consider humans in vehicles threat
lavian wanjara R/Wooosh
That man had some balls...
Calmly talking as if he is in the studio recording, yet several apex predators surround him in the dark...
He can't see them...
But they can see him.
"I *will* be needing a few new pairs of pants. Have them delivered priority, no signature required"
I
No sir, he himself was the only apex predator there,,,
@@navinkumar9126 actually the real apex predators were probably buzzing around in thousands and Sir David knows that's what he's need full protection against...
God’s with him.
Man I love attenborough. I want more stories from him.
The one and only Sir David Attenborough.
I grew up hearing David’s voice in documentary God bless you 🙏🏻
That thunder at the end did indeed sum up such a fierce ruffling
"in 1990 I tried to piss off some lions to make them roar but that didn't work so I came back 12 years later to try again only this time I decided to try while they were going to be ratty at night.

deanmoncaster........he was also sitting there with his vehicle window DOWN which is borderline insane.

You can really hear their power and I gained a new respect just by listening to those sounds
Yes indeed, Sir David, my Respects to you
Thank you David for sharing your curiosity of life, you are a true friend of nature and have inspired so many of us to do the same!
wow when they all poked their heads up out of the brush was amazing. you would never know all those lions were right there until it was to late. extraordinary big cats.
That was epic with how many lions were just chilling there in that tall grass! And then they take down dumbo!? Awesome!!!
Wow David Attenborough is such a great narrator
This is nature, either one shouldn’t enjoy to tear an animal but naturally one should enjoy alot. The portraying, the voice and the camera. Stay blessed sir david.
And thats exactly why you dont just go stroling in the grass; there are 20 somewhat lions liying there and you cant even begin to see them!
It's fascinating to see the whole pride immediately sit up when they heard the roar. Lion researcher, Dr. Craig Packer, has found out that lions can count roars. They are the only animals known to be able to count! Sir David Attenbourgh is a treasure. I love the documentaries he narrates.
Lion: "Man turn that crap off, we're tired!"
David Attenborough is absolutely the best narrator there ever was.
Even lions won't attack this guy. His voice is too soothing
Sir David Attenborough's voice and narration.... there is no second one.... a big fan of your's sir.... Namaste...
0:23 the whole squad on guard 😆
only wish you filmed the take down.
i don’t understand why it wasn’t shown, it’s the best part. the best part is always left out.
This man is a living legend!
Sir David Attenborough, you one of the greatest gifts on earth.
It will be a very, very, very sad day in my life when Sir David passes
he is alive
Sir David I legend..........Best documents ever made ......Blessed u sir n yours team.......
This channel is amazing
There are few things more phenomenal than Lionesses scheming and the hunting together. Queens of the beasts indeed.
0:22 Camouflage level hard
Reminds me of that ambush scene from saving private Ryan
I Love The Video.
I Love The Video.
0:21 - The extremely rare Sprouting of the Lion...
That's rare video of fighting between lions and elephant....
I miss this amazing man
He was my first narrator for years
He made me become a documentary addict
Love you sir❤
This mans voice is so relaxing, again super video
You’re true inspiration to many people...
Hello from India to all viewers..👋😊❤
@@dastanharris wtf lol
David's documentries are ever best and best of All
Lioness: "hey look, there's a juicy tender man over there!" :-p
Lion: "nah, it's probably another prank. You remember what happened last time with that fake roar!"
Simply The Best David Attenborough 🙏🏽
I like this guy voice
I love you Sir David! The greatest narrator and lover of wildlife!
Lion together strong!
Size is irrElephant, I'm not Lion
Mofleh Alrofidah ha ha ha, good one
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
thats what she said ?
You ain't kidding brether!!!
He’s the King of the wildlife documentaries. Take a bow Sir !!!🙏🙏🙏
He says they’re quite enough to chill the blood 😂
Here we have a lions pride taking down an elephant and every body is talking about sir David attenborough. This is how awesome he is
30 lions taking down an adolescent elephant is not amazing. A grown elephant bull would just stomp on them.
That adolescent elephant was barely 2 tons.
As much I love lions this was difficult to watch.
I agree. Lions are my favorite animal in the world but it pains me to see them kill an elephant. I had trouble watching it, as well.
Welcome to the jungle....Eat or be eaten
Dan Ordel lol
But it was a teenager elephant
That's why you like them. It's because they're majestic and have swag. They were created to dominate and not be dominated. They're only doing what they are supposed to do. Just watch the way a mature lion walks and monitors his domain.
Love this channel helps me relax and learn
I must have been a Lion in my previous life because I'm mostly active at night and asleep during the day
Mixey lol 😂 I function the same way I am awake at night and asleep during the day.
Owl maybe
Or may be a hamster :-)
Or you were a cockroach or a rat
montanadoctor racist pig
Wow! That was awesome! Taking the elephant down with the thunder and lighting in the background was perfect!
What would we know about wildlife if it wasn't for this man? Thanks Sir!
Awesome vlog love it..
“This remarkable behaviour could not be filmed in any other way” talking about them taking down the elephant..... it wasn’t even filmed in this way 😂
Simply amazing
That poor elephant tho
Spirited Gal Not a nice way to go!
spirited Gal .....................................I don't know what to say apart from its' how animals surive and live no point feeling sorry ....or sugar coating reality life is what it is except it
That's what he gets for being alone at night in Lion territory.
Yak loool
It's not every day 30 lions attack an elephant though
David Attenborough is the best voice for documentaries.
Nature aint always beautiful
But its true
That WAS beautiful, though.
nature is always beautiful.
That doesn't make sense
Depends on what you cal beautiful...Even destruction can be beautiful.
Chaotic yet Balanced and Calm
Lions are the essence of absolute beauty and power.
0:12 that lion did not look to happy to see them
I always breathe a small sigh of relief when I hear David Attenborough's voice. Even when he appears on screen, you know the focus is on the animals, and there will be no anthropomorphism. If natural history shows were more like that, instead of people making the shows about them, I'd watch a hell of a lot more natural history.
*That means, almost each 20 years, we can see an extraordinary change on tech. Subsequently, a change in our life. It's a long period.*
No one does it better than this gentleman. With no door and in the dark , i would have been scared out of my mind.
Why the hell was that elephant going on a midnight jog by herself like that? Street smarts!
It was a solo male that’s why
Bless you Sir David. You are one one of our kind to listen and follow your words of wisdom and kindness.
It's 3:00 in the morning! Can I get some sleep without any new videos? XD
Is there anybody who has a better job in this world than Sir David?
If Elephants don't forget, why don't the Elephants go back in numbers the next day and beat the lions up?
Steven Cartwright
They did win during the day if you watch the full episode
Because elephants know buffalos would do it in their place :D just for the fun.
Because they didn't saw it happen.
I don't know where I read this. But once a baby elephant got killed by the lions. The next day, all the elephants got together and killed all the lion cubs they could find.

“They don’t forget but they always forgive”-if you know, you know👀
Sir David is my favorite childhood voice. I refuse to grow up.
That elephant looked about the size of a juvenile. I doubt 30 lions could take a bull elephant. You'd need at least 50.
Agreed. I am not sure that a big bull elephant in his prime would be possible for any amount of lions. If it was in the mating season and the bull was hopped up on testosterone it would just attack the lions nonstop and never run. A few lions get gored or trampled and the rest would leave it as a bad job.
2.36. The look on the lioness' face....killer inc.
Bit confused as to why they are in a oped side car?
stupidity
So this guy is the legend behind all the voice overs

lions can and do hunt alone though.
Oh,another tiger fan😒🤨
Sir David Attenborough is best...legend 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💖💖❤❤🥇
Imagine back in the Mesozoic, a pack of theropods hunting a huge sauropod.....
graphite Sauropods can attack from behind, so the battle would be more jab just a chase. They were able to move surprisingly fast compared to other animals at their time due to their huge strides.
I wonder what weed was like back then
yes, you have to imagine because there was no Mesozoic...don't be a Sponge Bob...
There was no mesozoic? Are you on crack?
@mynameisnotdave23 flesh has been found on some of these dinosaurs. Science is showing they are only a few thousand years old.
When young, I ENJOYED watching his programs. Many thanks, Sir David Attenborough!
Omg David's not dead yet, ill sure miss him and his documentary's tho :(
You might be dead before him.
They are so beautiful!
One day the lions and other big cats will figure out that you can reach into the car and there is nothing to stop you... worst probably is the camera man sitting on top of the keep.. that takes guts :)
N SR Some of them already know. There are multiple videos of them opening car doors.
These are paid actors.
It has changed my life
It is not land rover , it is a Toyota Land crosier
Thank You Sir David! Your an amazing treasure to the animals and people who share this planet! I love you!!!
