An African buffalo put up quite a fight in its efforts to evade the onslaught of two male lions near the Skukuza camp in the Kruger National Park.
The animal was determined it would not become the lions’ prey, and at one point even charged at them, fighting back with all its strength. While the lions clawed and bit at the buffalo, it did not succumb to their attacks, showing incredible bravery.
Brave Buffalo Refuses To Give In To Intimidating Lions. Lion vs. buffalo encounters are some of the most dramatic scenes in the wild. Usually, they will showcase strategy, power, and sometimes, failure.
This was the case in this memorable sighting. The buffalo fought back with its horns and powerful kicks to fend off the ambush. Lions often hunt buffalo in coordinated groups, especially when targeting large bulls. Lionesses do most of the hunting, and they use ambush and flanking tactics to isolate weaker buffalo.
