Nah, that's a ribcage there. You're either seeing muscles on the outside of the ribcage or a slab of broken ribs moving. Lungs and heart are inside the ribcage, deeper to that injury.
Yeah, in medieval times, Wild Boars were known to continue charging even after being impaled with spears. They would literally run up the spear shaft just to kill whoever was holding it. This got so out of hand that people invented the Boar Spear, a spear with wing-like protusions around the blade, to stop Boars from running up the length of the spear.
As someone who does Olympic Fencing and HEMA, I really need to start learning how to use a spear, if only for the chance to actually own a Boar Spear lmao.
Man the fact that predators like this don't put you outta your misery before eating you really makes me appreciate not being Hunter gatherer societies anymore

The difference with us humans is that as hunter-gatherers, we would put their prey out of their misery quickly.
Oh I'm talking about the predators getting US, not us getting them. Imagine you fuck up a hunt and now you're lunch for however long you remain conscious
We weren’t lunch very often. Even as hunter gatherers we were still apex predators and kinda standout amongst the other apex predators. Humans are really scary animals.
And, people mostly see shit like that in the wrong light. Going to hunt a mammoth was not some noble warrior thing, or casual. It was “goodbye my love I hope I come back alive, some of us won’t”, it was grueling, not always successful, and if there were any berries or potatoes to eat, they would eat those instead and stay home.
Eh it was a long road from little tree dwelling apes to apex predators. Many of our ancestors were prey before we figured out how to make tools and weapons.
Toolmaking is ancestral to the homo genus. Our ancestors grew in size and brain capacity as evolution wore on, but notably that size allowed us to use larger and larger tools as weapons.
That's why I said "from little tree dwelling apes". It took millions of years to get to the point where we were big enough and had the tools to stop being constant prey for big cats, snakes, and giant predatory birds.
It wasn’t for the animals sake, it was to make it easier for the hunter. If you have to chase wounded prey for miles you lose much of the benefits you were seeking from the animal.
I mean yeah, they look pretty cute and have cute ears, but.. they just start eating you..
The worthog wasn't dead here, but I'd say that's out of the ordinary. Cats generally go for the jugular - a quick safe kill.
Bears just.. basically pin you down with their weight and start eating you. They're not very good hunters tbh - they're very strongly omnivores and they actually get the majority of their calories from non-meat stuff. Like eating all sorts of plants - berries, roots, nuts. They're mostly opportunistic carnivores. Depending on the area and season - insects, salmon. And when they have the opportunity - also other bigger animals. Polar bears and pandas are an exception - respectively seal meat and bamboo.
But since cats are "obligate carnivores" - i.e they need meat (they can't get essential nutrients from plants as bears can), they just became really good hunters. So almost always they kill you first (hopefully quickly) and then start eating you. Not the case with bears.
Humans created the term “sociopathy” but it’s normal for predators. All predators are born sociopaths. They were built to hunt, but empathy directly contradicts that. They just don’t have the empathy or certain emotions. They only know how to hunt their prey and eat. It’s normal for them. Nature
But most predators do protect their loved ones. They’re territorial. But Everyone else is food
You'd be closer to correct than the others. The heart lies nearly central and that is definitely not it. It could also be various internal muscles including intercostals.
A large component of the pain response is emotional, which varies from person to person and creature to creature. That's one of the reasons some people say they have a high pain tolerance -- they have a lower emotional response.
It eats it alive because it has more body temperature and higher temperature makes the since of taste more tastey so you really enjoy the taste and amora more
That warthog is the same size as the leopard. They are tough, strong animals; sometimes warthogs gut attacking leopards with their tusks. You can tell the leopard is tired after this struggle with a formidable foe. How long did it take the leopard to bite out that hole in the warthog's chest?
Periodically people write that predators don't take risks for fear of injury. Not true for leopards and lions; taking risks with prey is common for these big cats. Domestic cats are the risk averse ones -- rarely attacking anything more than 1/4 of their size. They're labeled great hunters: Not hard when most of your favored prey is rodents less than 1/20 your weight.
Yeah buddy ain’t going nowhere anyway with a crater in his rib cage
If you look carefully you can see either a lung or heart moving in the hole before he stands up.
Nah, that's a ribcage there. You're either seeing muscles on the outside of the ribcage or a slab of broken ribs moving. Lungs and heart are inside the ribcage, deeper to that injury.
Yeah this is a bit much.
I shot one through the shoulder and lungs and the fucker ran like half a mile before he stopped. Pigs are crazy

I love hearing cool history facts like this. These hogs are wild!
They look beautiful as well, if you're into blacksmithing/metal working etc..
As someone who does Olympic Fencing and HEMA, I really need to start learning how to use a spear, if only for the chance to actually own a Boar Spear lmao.
is hunting working when it comes to reducing the population of wild hogs? last I heard it isn’t
Adrenaline can do wild things
"Here, eat me on this side instead"
This took me out
lmao

Suddenly being shot by a hunter ain't so bad.
Granted but the hunter has horrible aim and hit a non vital part of the body
Still better than that warthog, easily.
Yeah but unless the hunter is an asshole or you're good running away you will still have a quicker death as you get a second shot from up close
Impossible. I’m the John Wick of the hunting world.
Wohn Jick is the hunter, not you
With a pencil?
A fucking pencil!

Turns out a group of screaming mostly hairless apes with pointy sticks is an incredibly effective deterrent to just about anything.
I mean, fuck. Our ancestors hunted mammoths with nothing more advanced than sharp rocks.
Just imagine the terror of a group of humans hunting you to exhaustion
…losing a few good men in the process.
And, people mostly see shit like that in the wrong light. Going to hunt a mammoth was not some noble warrior thing, or casual. It was “goodbye my love I hope I come back alive, some of us won’t”, it was grueling, not always successful, and if there were any berries or potatoes to eat, they would eat those instead and stay home.
Unless the method used was the pit method, then the odds of someone dying drop dramatically
"Drop"
...I see what you did there.
Exactly, even as a some times screaming, almost hairless ape, the thought of a bunch of screaming mostly hairless apes with sticks sounds terrifying.
And yet people still debate if 100 men can beat a single gorilla

idk why you are being downvoted.

Lol, no. Only when it benefits us
Like, remind me how we eat lobsters? oysters?
That's why bears are the worst.
I mean yeah, they look pretty cute and have cute ears, but.. they just start eating you..

And even polar bears - although they eat pretty much just meat - aren't as efficient as cats. I guess they don't need to. https://www.reddit.com/r/HardcoreNature/comments/1j2hlij/a_polar_bear_handling_and_chewing_on_live_seal/

It's the bear necessities.
Well then I just need to learn how to hibernate ez
My vote is on komodo dragons
They didn’t become great hunters, they always were.
They generally do. Live prey is much more likely to inflict an injury than dead prey.
it's hard to quickly kill prey with thick necks. warthogs, buffaloes, hippos, etc all tend to have painful drawn-out deaths.

Usually leopards will put you out of your misery quick, but that specific menu item is built different
Eh the reason humans were good hunters wasn’t their speed, but their endurance.
Except that big cats absolutely do kill their prey before eating them. I’m not saying this is ai, but it’s rare for them to eat prey alive.
Bro I have seen so much footage of cats eating their prey slowly I am starting to wonder if them killing quickly is some sort of properganda.
I suppose that’s the conclusion you’d form when you spend your time learning about nature from ai slip TikTok videos instead of real documentaries.
Not true at all.
Nice to know how dumb the internet is getting
The small spurt of blood in that gaping wound, good lord.
I think it's actually his heart you can see
I figured it was a lung inflating
You'd be closer to correct than the others. The heart lies nearly central and that is definitely not it. It could also be various internal muscles including intercostals.
But I'm a human doc, not a pumba-ologist.
I think so too
I think its the organs moving.
I mean if a large hole in the side of you isn't concerning. What's the point of worrying eh?

Damn I wish pain receptors didn’t exist (obviously I know they’re necessary) but I hate seeing suffering
A large component of the pain response is emotional, which varies from person to person and creature to creature. That's one of the reasons some people say they have a high pain tolerance -- they have a lower emotional response.
so is it safe to say people that are more emotional tend to not be able to handle pain as well?

That boar has massive tusks im sure it didn't go down easy, that leopard is a bad mf
Yeah the warthog is about the same size as the leopard as well. Talk about kick-ass hunter
Damn leopards are topping the charts in December.
He didn't try to run, he made one last attempt to gut that leopard.
When my borrito decided to roll on the other side
For some reason I was expecting to see an a-10 warthog get shot down by a leopard tank SMH
Kinda hard to flee with a gaping wound in your armpit
Last kicks of a dying warthog
Great album title or band name.
When your lunch gets up halfway through and fries to run away, it's such a pain
First time I saw a leopard eating a warthog alive. Most of the time, it's lions or wild dogs doing that.
Mofo aint done with living. Gotta respect it
No way a leopard did that sort of damage to that warthog. That is brutal.
leopard livin his best life
Cats usually kill before eating their prey. There’s more to this. Also impressive grappling/ top control by the cat
Luau! If you're hungry for a hunk of fat and juicy meat Eat my buddy Pumbaa here because he is a treat
Come on down and dine On this tasty swine All you have to do is get in line
Its like when the waiter tries to take your plate too early
Hey, it tried.
It always sucks to watch them fight it; but, then again, it'd probably be depressing if they didn't.
Every day I'm reminded how lucky I am to be a human and most likely never experience that amount of pain
It eats it alive because it has more body temperature and higher temperature makes the since of taste more tastey so you really enjoy the taste and amora more

Anyone else think the warthog was gonna get a killing shot in on that leopard as the last attempted freedom?
