The video captures an astonishing moment when a pride of lions catches a buffalo calf. Meanwhile, hundreds of other buffaloes gather and attack the lions. The unity and teamwork of the buffalo herd become a powerful weapon, forcing the lions to flee for their lives in fear.
This moment surprised many, as we often see lions as bold predators who like to attack buffaloes, but in this case, the buffaloes’ solidarity turned the situation around. The calf, thanks to the protection of the herd, narrowly escaped death.
This dramatic event has caused a sensation on social media, leaving many amazed at the buffaloes’ solidarity and determination in protecting the calf.
The African buffalo is one of the largest animals in Africa, with an adult buffalo weighing between 500 kg and 1,000 kg. Although they are one of lions’ favorite prey, lions often face significant challenges in bringing down a buffalo.
In many cases, when the number of individuals in a buffalo herd outnumbers the lions, they can drive the predators away, forcing the lions to flee. There have even been instances where lions were gored to death by buffaloes.
