BBC Earth

Published on Aug 20, 2017

David Attenborough reflects on several times he followed lion prides at night in the grasslands of Africa. Their roars sent tingles down his spine and seeing lions hunting down prey at night is a sight to be behold. Subscribe: http://bit.ly/BBCEarthSub

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.

varun joshi1 year ago

The Lions did not feel threatened only because of Sir David Attenborough’s voice.

One of the best, if not THE BEST narrator for wildlife documentaries out there. Bless you, Sir David!

“hey look, there’s a weak fleshy human half hanging out of that car. Shall we eat him?” “No, there’s a massive elephant over there.”

Eva Klügmann1 year ago

David: Lets make a fake roar. Lions: is that a WIRE? It’s a frrraaawrd.

Tom tonka1 year ago

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.

“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.

Fully grown elephants are safe from such attacks, but it shows the power & coordination of a lion pride, they can take down elephants of that large size we just saw! David Attenborough, voted Britain’s greatest living person. He may be 93, but let’s hope he goes on for a few more years yet. He not only narrates but writes the scripts as well!
