Wild buffalo led troops to chase and fight lions, rescuing their fellow animals

The lions tried to catch the wild buffalo

While taking visitors to the MalaMala Wildlife Sanctuary in Kruger National Park, South Africa, ranger Pieter van Wyk captured an impressive moment in the world of wildlife. That is the scene of wild buffalo herds joining forces to chase away lions to rescue their fellow humans.

When discovering a herd of buffalo on the grassland, 8 lions stalked together to catch a wild buffalo.

The sudden attack from behind by the lions caused the buffalo herd to panic and flee towards the forest.

Although the herd was lucky to run away, a male buffalo slipped and got stuck at the edge of the forest.

Immediately, the lions approached in the hope of catching the buffalo.

A lioness bit the buffalo’s leg and tried to drag it downhill.

Seeing that their brethren were in danger, the other wild buffalos immediately turned back to attack the lions.

Under pressure from the wild buffalo herd, the lions had to give up their prey.

However, some lions still tried to cross the slope to catch the injured buffalo.

Unfortunately, other strong buffaloes were ready to attack, so the lion had to retreat.
