Very nice pictures Taipan. @Wolf Eagle The Battle at Kruger honestly didn't impress me. The buffalo were hesitant to attack even with an obvious numbers advantage. A single rhino for instance would've been far more aggressive and charge the lions without hesitation. I find that the cape is a tad overrated in terms of aggression. |

The Selati males take down a buffalo Posted by MalaMala in Video Clips on Jan 26th, 2012 | 0 comments  Selati male lion stalking buffalo by Pieter van Wyk This clip was shot in December last year, when hard work, persistence and some good tracking one Monday morning led us to an adrenaline filled sighting the following Thursday. After finding the four young Selati males’ tracks in the southern parts of our reserve we followed them south, first towards the Sand River, and then through some thick bush. We eventually discovered the brothers resting together on a granite rock on the river’s northern bank. A little while later we noticed a large herd of buffalo approaching the river a little to the east of the lions. Having these two species in close proximity to one another always gets us excited! The Selati quartet had their heads up, and were looking east with interest. Pretty soon they were up and mobile, their sights set firmly on the herd. The buffalo had come down to the river to drink, but by the time the lions got close the majority of the herd had already quenched their thirst and were slowly moving north again. Completely unaware of the danger that lurked in the long reeds, a few stragglers remained at the water’s edge. It was eerie to only get brief glimpses of the four lions as they stalked through the dense reed bed. “Here we go, they’re running in!” we told guests as the lions commenced their hunt. Within seconds they had jumped on a buffalo cow, and with awe inspiring swiftness and efficiency, brought the animal down. The oldest of the group was tasked with applying the kiss of death, while the other three pinned the helpless bovine down. The rest of the herd didn’t make any real effort to rescue the cow. One bull made a half-hearted attempt, but after coming within inches of the action he quickly backed off again. The lions then spent the next two days feeding on their prize. They’re fast getting a reputation in these parts for being of the most efficient buffalo killers we’ve seen. http://blog.malamala.com/index.php/2012/01/lions-take-down-buffalo/ |

Yes interesting attack but I'm surprised that the buffalo couldn't charge at the lioness more quickly more strongly. Because IMO the lioness was a little too rash. |

Lion Sent Flying By Buffalo In Extraordinary Video Published on Wednesday, 18 December 2013 10:54 First, let it be stated up front that no animals were harmed in the making of this video, except perhaps the ego of a young lion getting badly bruised, as suggested by Barcroft TV in its post. Two young lions were stalking a buffalo in the Mjejane Reserve on the border of Kruger National Park in South Africa when one lion decided to pounce. After bringing its prey down, the lion thought it would be enjoying a fresh meal of buffalo. It thought wrong. Watch as a bull buffalo comes to the rescue to save its friend, sending the lion flying in this amazing wildlife video: an Matheson, 52, and his son Oliver, 16, were on an early morning drive in Kruger Park when they noticed the lions stalking the African buffalo, a.k.a. a cape buffalo. They watched for 45 minutes until one lion finally brought the buffalo down, as the prey cried out for help. Soon, the cavalry arrived in the form of a bull buffalo, which launched the lion in the air. One commenter on the Barcroft TV YouTube post said, “I love this!! I always watch these lions attack and brutally kill their prey. It’s about time they get a taste of their own medicine!” http://malaysiandigest.com/world/482060-with-vid-lion-sent-flying-by-buffalo-in-extraordinary-video.html |

I am really surprised the lion wasn't injured. But then, there is a video of an American Bison in Yellowstone doing the same to a touron and the guy walks away! |
