Hippopotamus kill, one of the biggest mammal to be killed by lions.

Killing of a fully grown hippo by lions is a skilled acquired through experience. Hippos are big animals with a weight of almost 2600 to 3000kilos, and also well armed with their strong, big and sharp teeth called tusks

This year January, 2014, his sons have killed highest number in a month!

A fully grown Hippo-App.2.8 tonnes.

Notch boys are stronger than ever they had kill a male hippo, not a sick one or young full grown up.

They had killed a large male hippo on the 15th near the Olkiombo sun downer tree and ate off it for three days with the Olkiombo pride of 8 lion. They kill Hippo and male Buffalo frequently

On the 8th of February we witnessed the gory scene of the Paradise Pride of lions killing a hippo. The five female lions started chasing the hippo and biting its rear. They eventually brought the hippo down and began to eat its rear end while it was still alive. Whilst it was sad and uncomfortable to see the hippo suffer the pride have to eat, the six cubs soon joined the females and Notch the dominant male and his three sons were not far away. The pride spent the next few days digesting the enormous meal and were content to let the hyenas scavenge the remains. The Paradise Pride have become accustomed to hunting hippos. Last year the six males including Notch killed six hippos altogether and they would feed on them over several days. Since January this year they have killed three hippos, two of which were killed by the females.

On the 20th the four notch males and the maternity pride killed a male hippo the other side of the Talek River on the Burrangat plains.

The Paradise Pride of lions are still living up to their formidable reputation of hunting hippo. The 5 younger male lions have apparently killed about 10 so far, Notch reportedly not involved.

s they are the heaviest, and most powerful of all wild cattle, they hold a special place as the apex bovine, and their ecological role provides an important food source for only one large apex predator which is known to have killed a healthy adult – that being a tiger. Even then, there are more cases of tigers being killed by Gaurs, than Gaurs being killed by tigers.

(53) records an unusual instance of a fight between a tiger and tigress, which could have been territorial or in protection of cubs. He writes: The Cachari villagers living a mile east of Jhargaon jheel, which is between three and four...An amphitheatre of flattened grass, about 15 feet across showed there had been great struggle. Report was sent to camp on 1st February and these are the mutilations I noted on inspection On the morning of the 31st they went to see what had happened, and in heavy grass found a dead tiger lying on its back: The lower jaw had been wrenched off; both fore limbs had been chewed off at the elbows leaving stumps ; the abdomen had been torn open and allowed the stomach to protrude; the external genitals were removed as with a knife, and the tail was nipped off leaving a stump a foot long.

It seems the tigress is usually the better fighter than the male. And it also shows the male tiger is vulnerable to a neck bite, as for lions, have manes.
