This is a testament to the sheer killing power of male lions. Watch as these calculating assassins pick out their target, and attack.
A mother buffalo and a newly born calf separated from the herd make for the perfect prey for the lions. Although the African Buffalo is known for using its horns to violently gore lions, a herd of buffalo is far more formidable than just a single buffalo. Buffalo herds are known to attack lions as a single unit, and have been recorded killing lions in many instances. However, in this case, the herd has abandoned this mother and calf for unknown reasons. The calf is as good as dead without its mother, completely unable to fend for itself.
