Lion: Instincts of, in Taking Prey

He lies in wait like a lion in a thicket; he lurks to seize the oppressed; he catches the lowly in his net.

…like a lion greedy for prey, like a young lion lurking in ambush.

He is a bear lying in wait, a lion hiding in ambush.

Does a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey? Does a young lion growl in his den if he has caught nothing?

The lion mauled enough for its cubs and strangled prey for the lioness. It filled its dens with the kill, and its lairs with mauled prey.
