Lion Predation

[TheLioness]

Buffalo are enormous, powerful beasts and their horns can impale a lion if it isn’t careful. On this day the pride stalked an old buffalo bull until they were within a short distance. Acting as a team, one of them startled the bull while the other hid, waiting for the right moment to attack. Then the lioness, in a giant leap of faith, leapt onto the bull’s back! - See more at: http://africageographic.com/blog/lion-hunting-buffalo-ruaha/#sthash.EYJd1dga.dpuf

What a picture

A great video showing a lioness taking down an adult cow buffalo and the cow was pregnant. This video shows the power and determination a lioness has. I believe female lions would kill more buffalo if the herds were not as big as they are. Buffalo herds can be in the 1,000's. This is the main reason that an attempt at a buffalo normally does not end in favor of the lion.
