During a failed hunt by the Nkuhuma lion pride, an old Northern Avoca Male Lion was left battered and bruised by a herd of buffaloes that trampled him, causing a dramatic scene.
However, the distressed call of the lone buffalo echoed through the bush, and to its great relief, a herd of stampeding buffaloes responded to the call, disrupting the lions’ hunt.
Regrettably for the lions, the situation took a turn for the worse as the Dark Maned Avoca male lion became trapped amidst hundreds of angry and agitated buffaloes that were stampeding around him.Buffaloes are among the few African animals that can confront and overpower lions. With their massive bodies and formidable horns, they pose a significant risk to the lions. However, despite the danger, lions are willing to take the risk for the sake of securing a few hundred pounds of buffalo meat.

“Could this be the end of an era?”
Feeling a mix of emotions, Deon and his guests returned to camp to process the morning’s shocking events. Later that day, they found the Nkuhuma Pride with Dark Mane Avoca, who was clearly in a dire state, licking his wounds.
