Lions scavenge on carrion when the opportunity arises; they scavenge animals dead from natural causes such as disease or those that were killed by other predators. Scavenging lions keep a constant lookout for circling vultures, which indicate the death or distress of an animal.[123] Most carrion on which both hyenas and lions feed upon are killed by hyenas rather than lions.[58] Carrion is thought to provide a large part of lion diet.[124]
Although I have disputed some of Uncle Ken's talking points, I am in agreement with his main premise, that Man is the only predatory creature who displays any kind of remorse when he makes a kill. Well, some of us do and some of us don't, and I don't know why that is.
