These are sub-adults, not yet good hunters or killers. This may even be their first kill.

Excellent sense of smell on that Eland. His nose kept him out of harm for a bit. People fail to remember, when one of the five senses goes, another one (or two) is elevated 2x what it naturally is. They already have amazing sense of smell and hearing. The fact that he was blind, increased his sense of smell hence why he was seemingly able to avoid the Lions, until his inevitable fate. He could smell them near him

@@70AD-user45 I am familiar with hyenas and their eternal war with lions. One on one a hyena cannot deal with a lion. Hyenas only strength is in their numbers. And even with their numbers, a group of hyenas won’t challenge 1 adult male lion. Lions kill hyenas frequently. I also understand that hyenas are merciless killers; however, I’ve rarely seen footage of them killing anything. 98% of the time they are scavenging, begging, and/or stealing food from others.

They do this to many of their prey, the pain must be incredible.

The young eland was suffering from a fatal disease called Malignant Catarrhal Fever (MCF) that is caused by alcephaline herpesvirus 1 (AlHV-1) found in Wildebeests or the ovine herpes virus - 2 (OvHV-2) found in sheep. Since this happened in Southern Serengeti, the former is most likely the culprit although sheep are to be found right at the border with Ngorongoro. The disease affects the eyesight of the affected animal making them ultra-sensitive to sunlight and even causing blindness like in this case. The disease is usually seen in March and April in northern Tanzania, about a month after the calving season of the great wildebeest Migration. This is purely because the main transmission method is through contact between the infected animals and the newly dropped wildebeest calves or their afterbirths and the disease matures in the infected animals about a month or two after contact is made. It has no known vaccine or treatment and death is almost certainly a guarantee so in this case the lions did the Eland a favour!

Don't know what is worser. Getting eaten by hungry lions or having a butt full of flies while getting ripped apart by lions.

Eland could go another direction...but decides to do that

…but if it was completely blind, how comes it knew when the lions were running at it and consequently turned on its speed?

Must be some disease that's turning them blind. For a moment there seemed that he'd get away, afterall the lions don't know the Eland's blind and they need to keep pursuing, then he came back

At first sight I thought lionesses were chasing the eland at half speed cuz usually they would have bagged eland quickly. Then when I saw the take down I realized it was the weight of an sub-adult nomadic male and bros. Only young males are that clumsy and slow to the catch.
