Lion Predation

[Pckts]

A male lion can possibly kill an Adult bull buffalo, but this is old hat. To this day, there is still no proof of it occurring. Plenty of solo male lion attempts exist on buffalo and on bulls, but none successful.
The video above is a cow btw and not a large one at that, and there are 3 or 4 lions around it.

But I doubt a lone lion would never be successful against a lone bull, it would just have to have some advantages in its favor. Older bull/younger bull, early throat hold or death grip or be a exceptional lion.
Same goes for a Male tiger, they need some advantages in their favor to take down a Bull Gaur, but I have already seen many reports of it happening so I use that as proof. Tigers are better hunters and solitary and larger so they would probably be more successful than male lions but they fail as well.

Just look at the story of Odin the older bull gaur that was able to fight a male tiger for a entire night but still survived the battle. Bull Gaur, Water Buffalo or Cape buffalo are all formidable animals, they are nothing to take lightly for any predator. I assume only the best of each predator can deal with them, solo.
