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 adult stand
over 4 feet high and can be over 7 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 members vulnerable enough to attack
for cape buffalo there is safety in
numbers 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 attacked
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 be as
well this kill means a renewed chance at
life for them
