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

[TheLioness]

Lion predation in the Serengeti accounts for 23% to 28% of total buffalo mortality, which means that almost half the males are ultimately killed by lions. Considering most hunts are during the night, it is highly believable that a single male lion has killed buffalo bull before. Considering there is a couple accounts of two lionesses taking down large mature bulls, a single male who is stronger can do so.

I posted a video already of a young male lion that killed a large buffalo, bull or cow I'm unsure, but you claimed it was a carcass and ate on a few days already, no it was said in the video, by the cover of the night the male killed it himself.

I'll post more when i get a chance to, like I mentioned a lot of lion hunts happen at night, as well as african is not as open and easily driven through as many think, accounts also probably have happened that just arent uploaded or posted on the interent, internet isn't everywhere in the middle of africa.
