This incident raises the question of why a lion, known as the "king of the jungle," would be scared away by a group of dogs. It is important to note that lions mostly hunt in prides, they are also solitary hunters sometimes and are not used to facing opposition from a group of animals while doing so.
In fact, lions have been known to hunt alone because they are faster and more agile than their prey. However, when confronted by a herd of animals, such as buffaloes or elephants, while hunting alone or outnumbered by a lot they are more likely to be intimidated and will often run away.
