Buffalo Foils Lion Attack By Puncturing Tyre

The resulting loud release of air was enough to scare away the big cat, forcing it to release its vice-like grip and flee. The buffalo was targeted by a pair of male lions but had already managed to dispatch the first one by flipping him into the air with its horns, leaving the lion with a gaping leg wound. The dramatic scene unfolded in front of cars full of tourists in Kruger National Park, South Africa – where it was caught on video by Hannes van Aswegen and photographed by Gerda Niemann. At Kruger National Park in South Africa these lions were looking for their next meal and they appear to have decided that i was going to be this buffalo – but they weren’t prepared for the fight that ensued. The buffalo managed to get rid of the first attacking lion using its horns as a weapon but he seemed unable to shake the second unwelcome lion off as he started to move towards one of the park tourist vehicles.
