Six Male Lions Attack Buffalo Just Because They Can

The young males of the Kumana Lion Pride killed a buffalo the day before, and they and their Mluwati father feasted on it all night.
With their stomachs full, they discovered another herd of buffalo and were enticed to hunt once more by instinct.
Filmed at Kumana Dam in Kruger National Park, South Africa.

Game drive etiquette Rules:
- When you come across a sighting, slowly pull over on the side of the road closest to the animal, but keep a safe distance
- If there are animals in the road, immediately stop at least 20 m from them
- The lane furthest from the sighting should never be blocked, so that others can pass if they want to
- Don’t linger longer than a few minutes at a sighting, so that others can view it too
- Never go off the designated roads
- Never climb out of your vehicle during a drive, or hang out of your car windows or sunroof
- Don’t hoot or blare loud music
- Avoid driving into vegetation, as this could damage the environment or kill small animals
- During night drives, never shine a spotlight directly in animals’ eyes
- Never make noise to get animals to move, stand up or otherwise react for pictures
- Respect the rangers, and always comply with their requests or instructions

Mulwati males sons. He about 10 years old and he is very wise to keep his sons with him. He was very proud of them .When lions get about 10 it will be wise to keep your sons. Great video great catch great hunt

[@Headonwriter]

Lions don't keep their sons with them. Sons are chased out the pride about age 2 sometimes a bit earlier or later. It may happens that the pride is soon after taken over by other males forcing the father to flee. Sometimes after fleeing he finds his son or sons that he recently chased out. They will form a bond only if the sons are not mature enough to take over a pride of their own. They stay with dad because he's able to help to defend them as well as hunt.

[@falanajerido875]

@@Headonwriter you need to wake up this is actually what they doing now keeping there sons with them because they're getting old

[@Headonwriter]

@@falanajerido875 Somebody don't agree with your nonsense, they need to wake up uh. It's in it's nature to chase their sons out the pride to prevent in breeding. The only way they meet up again is if the father is removed as head of his own pride and by chance meets up with the sons he kicked out. That's the way of the lion's nature and regardless of what you chooses to think will never change that.

[@TheEagleus0990]

Lion attacks on buffaloes are a common occurrence in the wild. Lions typically target weaker or isolated members of the buffalo herd, often employing ambush tactics and coordinated teamwork to bring down their prey. It's a dramatic and intense event, showcasing the raw power and survival instincts of both predators and prey in the African savanna ecosystem.

[@lancer2134]

Regarding the strange behavior at the end, the buffalo started hitting the injured buffalo surrounded by male lions. Is he trying to help injured buffalo to stand on his feet or after so many save attempts, Buffalo showing his frustration by hitting him hard?

[@baseballplayer3576]

Yes they are trying to get other buffalo to get up...they do it all the time when other buffalo goes down like that!! Looks violent but that's what they often do

[@l.heinemann8553]

1. the buffalo tries to move the injured female away but in the end he checks up that there is no chance for the female because broken leg. So he gives up. This is the hard rules of the nature... sicks, weaks, injured animal get killed.

[@mysterious_billionaire]

They have very poor eyesight, it's just going by the smell and goring the buffalo thinking the lion is there...
