With a curious nature, the lion was accidentally strangled by a python while watching the python hunt impala

When a young lion spotted a large python slithering nearby, the curious cat decided to investigate. As the brazen cub gets close, it growls at the snake, seemingly asserting its dominance.

The feisty python doesn’t even flinch before delivering a stinging blow, sinking its sharp, curved teeth into the lion’s face. Although pythons are nonvenomous and kill their prey through strangulation, those teeth are still capable of causing severe damage. Once they grip their victim, they then wrap their massive bodies around the unlucky animal, cutting off the air supply until the heart stops.
