When buffalos attack lions

Lions hunt in packs, which allows them to take down animals much larger and even heavier than themselves. Although they often bring down prey such as zebra, antelope and wildebeest, they seem to have a particular affinity for buffalo. As buffaloes travel in herds, it is not such an easy task for lions to take down one of the herd members. Trying, the other buffalo activate their bravery and launch a counterattack. While other prey may simply run for their lives, buffalo use their strength in numbers. They also use their sharp, curved horns and brute strength to fight and eventually escape the threat. Even if a pride of lions manages to ambush a lone buffalo, the fight can last for hours. Both animals exert immense energy during a fight like this and a kill is not always a guarantee for lions. As in this video, the buffalo are seen being aggressive towards the lions as they chase one into a tree and continue their menacing attack. The video clearly shows what happens when lions attack buffalo herds. In addition to the lion that seeks safety in a tree, there is a second lion that is a bit cheeky. He runs away when a buffalo approaches, but immediately runs back, driving the buffalo herd away from the lion in the tree. Already in this footage, two young lions were chasing a buffalo, when one of the lions decided to attack. After taking down his prey, the lion thought he was enjoying a fresh meal. But something went wrong. See how a buffalo comes to the rescue to save his friend by making the lion fly. There are numerous videos scattered on the internet, showing lions attacking buffaloes and getting along very badly. In some cases, these attacks even killed the lion. Even for the kings of the jungle, buffalo are difficult prey to bring down, and they know it very well!
