Angry buffalo chases off hungry lion to protect the herd

The video shows the incredible moment of one fearless and angry buffalo bull protecting his herd from a hungry hunting lion.
The cape buffalo is part of the Big five animal group in Africa, and so for good reason. Buffaloes are massive creatures, and they can become incredibly aggressive and dangerous when under threat or spooked. These large black bovines move mostly in big herds that can number up to a thousand individuals strong. Lions are also part of the big five animals of Africa and these cats need little introduction to the world. Lions do prefer to hunt bigger prey animals such as buffaloes. While an eight-hundred-kilogram buffalo is the perfect size meal for a pride of lions and a big reward, these big rewards come with great risk. Buffaloes can become very angry and fearless when being hunted and they can inflict serious injury or kill a lion. Lions have been trampled to death by big buffalo herds or killed with the lethal horns of a buffalo. The video shows how one lioness believes she has a chance of catching a buffalo out of a big herd. The lioness clearly overestimated her chances. The lioness spooked the whole buffalo herd, sending them turning and running. During this chaotic period, lions then single out and target one specific individual and then go for it with everything they have. What the lioness did not know, was that there was one large buffalo bull in the whole herd that had his fear turn into anger. This angry bull suddenly turned around and charged towards the lioness at full speed. The lioness got the surprise of her life, and she immediately knew she was in trouble. The lioness turned around in a flash and ran for her life. The massive buffalo chased after the lioness until he couldn’t see her anymore. Incredible to see how one individual out of so many buffalo had the guts to turn around, chase off the lioness and protecting the rest of the herd with his actions at the same time.
