My, What A Long Mane You Have...

Kichi keeps the lion busy for a moment of distraction spotting Tove’s plan. At the sound of the crunch and the lion falling down Kichi runs in well aware it was dying. Kichi attacked from the side where the angry lion lay. Instead of going for the well-protected maned neck, or aiming for a leg or belly, those vital areas Kichi instead goes for an ear. The lion’s in bad shape to defend and Kichi shreds it.

Call the ear a strategy if you want to imagine it being another of blood loss but Kichi really just wanted to shred it. After that, he went to the muzzle of the weakening cat. Sure the lion showed off its teeth threateningly but it was slower. Kichi beat into the muzzle and dragged his teeth along and out it. Kichi bit into the skull, finding a good grip upon the skin and pulling up to tear a chunk of skin off the tiger’s face.

This wasn’t aiming to quickly kill, this was causing it pain while it was dying.
