Singlied Out

Anybody who grew up watching Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom knows that when lion hunts it doesn't just randomly throw itself on rampaging herd of water buffalo in the hopes that the ton and a half herbivore will just simply throw up the white flag and start pointing out where the best meat is. Lions always try to isolate their prey, and go after the one who is most likely not to get up when they knock it down. They rarely let their egos get to them and go after the biggest, most angry looking one in the bunch.
