What's in the video?

In the video, the pride was all set to pounce upon the buffalo. Just at that moment, a lioness is seen snapping at another and soon all five of them begin to attack each other.

A 'lesson to teach'

IFS Kaswan mentioned that the lions' activity in the video has a "lesson to teach." He adds that although the pride managed to get hold of a buffalo, they couldn't eat it. It is all because they were fighting among themselves. The video teaches that one should never fight so much that the opponent takes advantage of the situation.

"These #lions have a lesson to teach. They were having their meal but decided to fight with each other. And food walked away," Parveen tweeted.
