Lions spend 90% of their time sleeping and lazing around. One
wildebeast will keep the pride fat and happy for about 3 days, depending on
the size of the wildebeast and the size of the pride.

Hit & miss just like modern predetors. The whole notion here that a
predator species could by itself, catch, kill and eat ALL of it's prey
species, thereby driving both to extinction is rediculous. I can think of
no contemporary examples of this.
