Can a Lone Male Lion have a successful predation on a Adult Bull Buffalo?

Usually days, while the komodo take follow and bite them until they finally give in. While a lone wolf taking down a bison is extremely impressive, we still need to know many factors. Was the bison, old, young, wounded, sick etc.
I think we all know that a lone wolf is not taking down a full grown healthy bison. Just watch the predation of the wolf pack on the smaller bison, the entire pack is chasing the bison then all of a sudden a massive full grown bison comes and flips the smaller bison over and thats when you get a idea of what a full grown bison looks like.

"But to stay on topic Packer mentions that a  single lion taking down a male buffalo is unlikely "

And I would agree with Packer and considering he knows Lion better than anyone in the world, I think his word is pretty solid.

 

 

I'd like see proof of that. Reply
