Explanation:

1. The habitat of a lioness in Etosha National Park includes savannas, grasslands and open woodlands with water - holes. These areas provide cover for hunting and space for prey to graze.
2. Being patient allows the lioness to wait for the right moment to strike, increasing the chances of a successful hunt and conserving energy.
3. The large male warthog became her first target/prey.
4. The bushes provide cover for the lioness to stalk her prey undetected, getting closer before the attack.
5. She catches her prey by stalking it quietly, getting close enough and then launching a sudden, fast attack, usually targeting the neck or throat to subdue it.
6. Without seeing the video, it could be various small animals or birds that might be present in the habitat, but if it's a common scenario, it could be vultures waiting for leftovers.

For the definitions:

• Energy is the capacity to do work, which for a lion is needed for activities like hunting, moving and maintaining body functions.
• Metabolism is the set of life - sustaining chemical processes in the lion's body that convert food into energy and build and break down molecules.
