Witnessing the scene of its fellow being defeated by a lion, a wild buffalo risked its life to rush to the rescue and knocked a lion into the air.

In the clip, a baby buffalo was attacked by 12 lions and then knocked to the ground. Next to it were 20 other buffaloes standing and watching. Suddenly, an adult buffalo in the herd rushed forward and hit the male lion with its horn.

Witnessing their fellow lions being thrown into the air, the other lions immediately ran away. Even though members of the herd rushed in to rescue the injured buffalo, he still could not escape. In the end, it was killed and eaten by two other lions.

Until now, lions have always been known as one of the most fearsome predators across the African grasslands. Thanks to their outstanding strength, plus their sharp teeth and claws, they can defeat many other animals for food.

However, with large prey like wild buffalo, lions cannot avoid possible risks. Among them, the scariest thing is being seriously injured or losing your life by your prey.
