Did It Fall Down Again? Lion Attempts to Kill a Water Buffalo, But Chased to a Tree by Nearly 100 Buffalo

The African savanna is the realm of which animals? You must believe it's lions. Indeed, as the king of the savanna, lions are arrogant and bullying other animals everywhere. However, lions also have many times when they fall down. Recently, in Kenya's Nakuru Lake National Park, a male lion attempted to hunt African buffalo, but it was chased by nearly 100 angry African buffalo to a tree, which shows embarrassment.

Judging from the relatively sparse mane, this male lion is about 3 years old. That day, it was hungry and put its hunting target on African buffalo. African buffalo are large herbivores with irritable and powerful temperaments, often living in groups of dozens or even hundreds, with strong individuals on the outer side of the buffalo herd, responsible for guarding the safety of the buffalo herd. Therefore, lions must use some tactics to hunt buffalo, such as dispersing the buffalo herd and attacking weak individuals.

Perhaps this male lion lacks experience, and in this hunting operation it was a bit reckless. The result of this recklessness was not only that it failed to catch the prey, but it also provoked a counterattack from the buffalo herd—nearly 100 angry buffalo chased the male lion.

The power of the buffalo army is not to be underestimated. If you are trapped in it, you will either be trampled to death by the buffalo's hooves, or you will be killed by the buffalo's sharp horns. Seeing the buffalo herd counterattack, this male lion was suddenly frightened, it quickly turned to flee, seeing that there was a large tree nearby, it rushed up without hesitation.

Due to the weight of the lion, it is far worse than medium-sized cats in climbing trees. This male lion climbed the tree just a short time, and its body slowly slid down under the effect of gravity. Under the tree, the buffalo herd had already gathered, staring intently at the male lion on the tree with their angry eyes. The male lion had to try to scare away the buffalo herd by roaring, and at the same time, to restore some of its dignity as the king of the savanna.

Buffalo are herbivores and will not consider lions as food. Soon, the buffalo herd had given the male lion a lesson, and its anger gradually disappeared, and it dispersed. The male lion, which was almost unsustainable, quickly jumped down from the tree and ran to a safe place. Next time it meets this group of buffalo, I'm sure this male lion will not dare to act rashly.

This has already been the male lion's first time falling down in front of the buffalo.

Earlier, a stronger male lion was too close to the buffalo herd, and more than 100 buffalo actively attacked it. The male lion's escape was full of fear in its eyes.

There was also a male lion chased by the buffalo herd into the water, which created a unique beauty.

No matter how powerful the lion is, next time it meets the buffalo herd, it should be careful. Otherwise, falling down will be you.
