What are the biggest animals attacked by lion?
Normally giraffes will be the largest prey attacked by lions. Cases have been reported of lions successfully attacking weakened and old hippos on dry land as well as diseased and disabled rhinos.
Healthy, adult hippos or rhinos are more than a match for a lion, or even a pride of lions, and are therefore seldom attacked.
