Comparing Hunting Strategies From Desert to Coast | Lions of the Skeleton Coast

Nature’s Lions of the Skeleton Coast tells the remarkable story of Dr. Philip Stander’s research on a small, rare population of desert-adapted lions, living at the edge of extinction. The episode follows the journey of three orphaned lioness cubs as they learn to survive against the odds by shifting their hunting strategies as new sources of food become available. In this resource, students compare the advantages and disadvantages of the different hunting strategies by observing four clips from the episode.
