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

would just leave a kill in the making? Also, if more than one lion was present on the attack, do you think it would
necessitate 22+ hours? Lions kill with a throat bite. That bull would logically have succumbed to just that fate if
multiple lions were present. Isn't it possible the narrator made a very simple mistake in pronunciation, which was    
reflected in the abstract of the description you quoted? It was one "s". Based on the video shown, there's a high
probability of that scenario. Thats what I mean by common sense and logic.   

 

Its a 22+ hour event, the park closes so visitors must leave, camera batteries run out etc. Park officials relay events occuring to other officials then they must drive to the event. So lots of things can happen in that time, etc.
I have heard of a few events taking 20 + hours, there is a tiger vs sambar predation that took 20 plus hours, predation on elephant that have taken all night and day etc, lots of predation occur over a couple of days.  The odin Bull gaur vs Male tiger event took all night and they believed the tiger was going to begin the attack again. Thats why they found the tigers pug marks following the bloody hoof marks of odin after the attack happened all night. They wound a animal, wait for night fall and attack again or just regain their strength, etc.
I will never try to claim something happened or did not happen when I was not there and they were.
