00:00 Buffalo is inherently one of the most difficult prey of the African savannah.
00:09 Because of its ferocity and large hoods, the sharp horns of buffalo can repel predators
00:16 or fight enemies.
00:18 So once that weapon is broken, what will happen to the buffalo?
00:29 Today let's find out the fate of buffaloes losing its horn.
00:43 What if the buffalo lost its horn?
00:50 Every animal living on the African savannah possesses skills to survive in the fierce
00:55 world.
00:56 And buffalo is no exception.
01:00 The horn is the most powerful weapon of the buffalo able to confront the strongest predators.
01:11 The relationship between buffalo and lion has not been very good since ancient times.
01:18 Because one side is the predator and the buffalo will sometimes be the prey.
01:28 However many times this position is disturbed when the lion is attacked by the prey.
01:37 We are witnessing the scene when the lion hits its prey, a buffalo, but today the predator
01:43 has to pay a heavy price.
01:53 It tried to bite off the buffalo's head, but was fiercely attacked by the prey.
02:01 It rammed its sharp horns into the lion's body, causing it to be seriously injured.
02:16 With this wound, the lion won't die.
02:31 It is because of this weapon that lions rarely choose to hunt and kill buffalo.
02:37 Even when there is a large alliance, the lions can't be subjected to hunting.
03:01 This union of lions is surrounding its prey.
03:05 The buffalo, but the predator, still do not dare to attack.
03:13 On the contrary, thanks to the sharpness of the wild buffalo's fangs and repelled predators,
03:21 the lion is threatened and must act now.
03:32 The African buffalo is very sturdy with a length from head to body of about 1.7 to 3.4
03:58 meters, can run at a speed of 50 to 60 kilometers per hour.
04:03 Mature buffalo horns are typically of this species.
04:08 Not only are they sharp, they almost form a bone shield on the buffalo's head, making
04:15 it extra safe when confronting predators.
04:22 With an adult body weighing from 500 kilograms to 1 ton, the African buffalo is like a solid
04:30 tank capable of knocking enemies away with its sharp horns.
04:45 And this lion received a full blow from the buffalo when it rushed in to rescue its fellow.
04:52 Without the support of the herd, the lion made the mistake of angering the most dangerous
04:58 animal on the African grassland.
05:10 Even in large numbers, the lion alliance attacked a wild buffalo, but one of the predators paid
05:16 a heavy price when it was badly stabbed by a buffalo horn.
05:25 With this wound, perhaps the lion will no longer be able to hunt, can't even fight,
05:32 and it will die.
05:40 Here we have seen how terrible the power of the wild buffalo is, and is one of the prey
05:46 that makes lions wary when confronting.
05:59 In addition, wild buffalo also use the horns to fight with fellows to gain dominance over
06:05 the herd.
06:08 So once the horn is broken, the buffalo will be attacked by predators, because they have
06:14 no weapons to protect themselves.
06:21 Without the protection of the herd, wild buffalo with broken horns will often be in danger.
06:27 Therefore, it must always follow the herd to avoid predators.
06:37 Not only lions, but ferocious predators like wild dogs also repeatedly recklessly attack
06:44 wild buffalo herds.
06:51 The advantage of wild dogs when facing buffalo is their small and agile bodies, so they can
06:58 avoid the deadly bites of wild buffalo.
07:06 Besides, weak immature dogs are also targets that wild dogs target.
07:13 With a large number of herds, wild dogs surrounded and attacked wild buffalo from many directions.
07:22 Therefore the prey can hardly resist and cannot escape.
07:30 In the end, the buffalo was defeated and became a hearty meal for the fierce wild dogs.
07:39 They also use tactics to drive away adult buffalo herds to easily attack young.
07:46 A pack of wild dogs surrounds and attacks their small weak prey.
07:51 They couldn't even resist, only helplessly called for help to the mother's buffalo, but
08:00 failed.
08:01 Life is difficult and harsh, so animals always have different behaviors and survival abilities.
08:10 And for most of all, many animals want to survive, and so do carnivores.
08:17 Hunting is just for survival.
