life this year on the Mala Mala Game
Reserve in South Africa is hard harder
than usual a drought has left the
animals here desperate for water and
food
this lion pride has had no substantial
kills in months and several of their
Cubs have died the cape buffalo to have
suffered grasses that should be in
abundance have all been disappeared
lions are one of the few animals who
will challenge a cape buffalo cape
buffaloes are large animals adults stand
over four feet high and can be over
seven feet long and weigh around 1,500
pounds and they’re known to be ferocious
perfectly able to kill an adult lion but
the Lions are desperate and so the pride
takes a chance they stopped the herd
looking for one member valen up to
attack for cape buffalo there is safety
a number
becoming separated and isolated is a
grim situation the Lions locate their
intended target this cow is large her
sharp horns and hooves could normally
deliver a deadly blow to an unwary
lioness but this Buffalo is old and
slightly lame the Lions will exploit
these weaknesses the herd has abandoned
the cow and the pride circles around her
waiting for the right moment the
lionesses attack piling onto the Buffalo
biting and climber from all directions
[Music]
finally a male line locks onto the
buffalos throat crushing her windpipe it
will be a slow agonizing death it’s a
gruesome sight but the Lions must eat as
well this kill means a renewed chance of
life for them
