The injured male lion had gone to take a rest near a waterhole only to be surprised by the presence of a hippo. The injured male lion was probably injured by other male lions while he was protecting his territory.

Lions are highly territorial and occupy the same area for generations. Females actively defend their territories against other females, while resident males protect prides from rival coalitions
