WHEN HUNTERS GETS HUNTED; MEMOIRS FROM THE DEEP BLUE SEA AND THE WILD

To remain on top of the food chain requires evolutionary skills and in-depth survival instinct, that is why you and I have remained on top of the food chain till the twentieth century. One way or another, we are wiping out every other co-existing species to satisfy out stomach and ornamental needs. The only superior animal that could take human down is Death!
Once humans are out of the way on the food chain as the top predator, on the plains of Africa is the Lion and Lioness with their extended families; Jaguar, Tiger, Leopard, Cheetah, Lynx, Mountain Lion etc each dominating their territories food chain. In the Deep Ocean lives the Shark, an ultimate predator we as humans know and dread, but have you ever seen where nature is flipped and the "rule books of Predatory" get burnt? Read along with me as I discuss some instances where top predators become hunted as a Prey.
FROM THE DEEP OCEAN; HUNTED SHARKS
The image above taken off the coast of Austrailia is of a Great White shark that ended up as a meal to an uncommon predator in the deep Ocean, much more fierce and bigger than Sharks. Orcas or Killer Whales is that Ultimate Killer of Predators, it kills anything in the Ocean when Hungry; Humpback Whales, Giant Seals, Walrus, Sharks, Dolphins and every other thing that moves within an Orca's SONAR Transmission is up for a meal. Orcas are Mammals that live in herds and hunts in packs, this makes them the gravest predators in the Deep and on land over a Pride of Lion or a pack of Wild Dogs or Arctic Wolves.
Animals as powerful and enormous as the Killer Whale beats every other animal in the Ocean as top predators or solitary hunters. The Great White Shark is no match for a fully grown Orca, Hammer Head Sharks, Dolphins or any other predator is a meal to this Killer Whales. To Kill much larger prey like the Humpback Whale, the Orcas hunts in packs and to kill a Shark, they flip it over upside down which renders the shark motionless and then ones stationary "The feast Begins."
IN THE WILD; WHEN PREDATING GOES WRONG

On land, the Lion and it's cousins are not really the strongest animals, but they are the bravest and the most organized pack of hunters with a common Goal- kill to eat! But the hunters also gets killed by the hunted on many occasions. For examples, Buffalos, Rhinos, Giraffe had killed Lions successfully, a headbutt from a Buffalo Horn could be fatal, consider many of these headbutts from a herd of Buffalos; Death is the Result! Also, a kick from a Giraffe is known to crack open the skull of a Lion through the mane or break any boney part of the hunter's body. This are scenarios that occur often in the wild, a lesson for humans is; Everyday for the Wicked, one day for Karma!

God made us human to be greater than all other animals....and gave us dominion over them..
Human are strong , no matter how life tossed us, we still come out more stronger than before...
You are right only death can take us down because we don't have control over it.
Thanks for sharing @oluwoleolaidea
Yes my dear friend, Untop the Foodchain since the BC/AD
This is interesting and in a way, i wish this can happen in Nigerian politics
If wishes were Horses though.....winks
Interesting, I never knew Orcas were this powerful and it goes on to prove the fact that success comes easy when you are in a group with the same aim trying to achieve greater heights. I know one Orca alone can't kill a shark, but it can be achieved when they hunt in packs.
Thanks for the education @oluwoleolaide
One Orca could kill a Shark, but one can't kill a Great White Shark...Group work is the best if their is a common Goal!
Well, the animals defend themselves with what they have, same like the people. I used to watch these things on the YouTube, some lions flight ( lol) were quite spectacular.
