During this hunting episode, a group of hyenas set their sights on a baby calf. To overpower their prey, nearly the entire hyena pack, with up to 20 members, had to join forces for the attack.

However, as the hyenas closed in, the adult wild buffaloes quickly mounted a fierce defense. To protect their young from the aggressive, bloodthirsty predators, the buffalo herd formed a tight circle, positioning their sharp horns outward to create a strong barrier. They maintained this protective formation, even as the hyenas attempted to harass and break their line.

In the end, the collective strength of the buffalo herd prevailed. They successfully drove off the hyenas, safeguarding the young calf.

The African buffalo, one of the largest and most widespread herbivores on the continent, is known for its strong herd behavior. When faced with predators, the herd stays united, making it difficult for attackers to succeed.

If a calf cries out for help, it draws the immediate attention of the mother buffalo and the entire herd. The adult buffaloes will encircle their calves, positioning them in the center, and take turns confronting the enemy.
