Grasslands

Have you seen the African Savanna? It's one wide expanse of grass and all that. And as we all know, it is the dwelling place of one of the most fearsome predators in the planet today.

The lion

A male lion sometimes leads a whole "pride." He doesn't hunt anymore when he attains that position; he leaves the female lions the task of hunting prey for the pride.

The female lions then cautiously approach a target tactically and all of them are strategically positioned for cornering purposes. Then in the distance of around 30 meters from the target the lionesses break their own cover and make a run for it with velocities reaching about 60 kmh.

Cut the story short, it's the other way around when it comes to life.

1.) Men are ruled by their pride.
2.) Men chase the prey, but no more than a minute.

More than that and the lion dies from excessive heat energy production and extreme dehydration.
