Epic Ambush - Lions Attack Buffalo - Duba Plains

A pride of lions stalks and attacks a female buffalo and calf. The buffalo herd makes a feeble attempt to rescue the mother but backs off.
Filmed at Duba Plains in the Okavango Delta, Botswana.
Years ago, when the course of the river changed, the lions and buffaloes found themselves in a unique situation after being left stranded on a 200-square meter island. The lions had to learn to adapt in order to survive. And so they did. These Duba Plains lions stalk swamps, swim in deep water and hunt by day, attaching themselves to their prey and following their every movement.

    Do you like nature or primal violence. I see the balance. Some feint of heart cant accept nature is not always beautiful. Its tragic. But for the death of 2 whom were 2 slow. Leaves room for others to grow strong and pass traits to next generation. But I will say anyone with a slight but of empathy will for bad for the baby and its mom.

    Lions are incredible beasts and of all the cats, their hunting style is my favorite to watch. It's a weird feeling watching predators take down their prey because I feel bad for the animal who's dying slowly and terrified, but I feel good for the hunters because they get to eat and live another day.

    'Easily'. Do you see the humans who stand around whilst one is being attacked? It's not how 'easy' it is, but how beneficial to oneself and one's community it is. The buffalo do better by sacrificing one of them so that others can get away without injury, instead of losing one and possibly two more, or having one die and two be gravely injured.
