Lions, like other big cats, kill with a specific and effective method. After stalking their prey and giving chase, they will 'pounce,' grabbing the hindquarters with their claws, to fell the animal. Once the animal is down, lions will utilize one of two methods of killing their prey. With larger animals, such as buffalo or wildebeest, a lion will bite down on the throat to suffocate the victim. With smaller animals, and younger prey, the lion may bite down on the neck to sever the spinal column.
