You guys see this, holy molly, can we say lion the hunter.   lion runs head into a heard of buffalo, blocks the buffalo from stomping on it with its hind leg, and then crawls up underneath to the front and grabs the throat.

Holyshit! That's one daredevil lion... That buffalo weighs atleast 600kgs & what he did was very risky.
But he seems to be an experienced who knew what he was doing.

Nice find. 

Cape Cows usually aren't that large and this one in particular doesn't look like anything exceptional, easily with in a Male Lions capabilities. Cape's are also very cautious, probably the most skittish of the herbivores I saw in Africa and a herd has no way of knowing if this is a lone male or a coalition and/or pride, so their best option is to run, but they don't run far, they run for a bit then all turn around, what they do next is up to that particular scenario. But that being said, this lion is alone, so for this individual it seems he has a knack for hunting capes. Reply
