Absolutely unbelievable, especially in light of the fact that the lioness does all the hunting while her master, the King, and the kids wait for her return. And they get to eat only after he's done. I've seen them stalk and hunt in several game parks in Kenya, and I still find it incredible that this lioness didn't tear the oryx apart at first sight since they are careful to select the most vulnerable of prey.

The lioness does most of the hunting, not all of it. And there is a very good reason for that given the environment in which this survival behavior was developed. The 'King' is the protector, and a very important asset to overall safety and well-being as such. Neither one of those is more crucial to the den's survival than the other.
