This sighting was captured by Michaela Crous in Manyoni Private Game Reserve.
As the group arrived at a waterhole on the Mkuze Game Reserve they were greeted by action. A lioness on the hunt! She had spotted a nyala bull that had not seen her at the time and she looked hungry! As soon as she realized this was a potential meal the hunt was on!
The lioness immediately went into stalk mode. Making use of the thick cover that was surrounding the waterhole, she managed to get within a good distance of the Nyala. Off she went with a burst of speed! But the Nyala was not caught by surprise, as he had seen the lioness and darted off in time.
He ran for a bit, but he realized there was no way he would outrun the hungry lioness. So he went straight for the water, hoping to escape the hungry lioness. The lioness, knowing the potential risk of the big crocodiles that lurked in these waters did not dare to go in! The nyala aware of the dangers still was willing to risk it. The lioness also knew that the nyala could not stay in the water forever, so she sat and waited for the nyala to move.
The lioness sat patiently staring at the nyala with hungry eyes. The nyala, on the other hand, stood in the water, staring back at the lioness, hoping that she would go away. With all his focus on the lioness, the nyala was caught off guard when he suddenly felt something at his feet. A few crocodiles had been stealthy approaching him in the shallow water and he only realized when a slash erupted, and a crocodile snapped its jaws, trying to grab hold of the nyala.
Luckily for the nyala, his super-fast reflexes saved him, and he managed to kick and jump away from the crocodile. But he now had to run out of the water as quick as he could because if he didn't, the croc would get him. But the catch was that when he left the water, the lioness was there. Being stuck between a rock and a hard place the nyala had to make a decision and make it fast!
That’s when it clicked for the Nyala; he knew his last hope was to not run but rather to fight. So, out, he ran from the water straight at the lioness. Charging with his horns and actually scaring and catching the lioness off guard. She was so shocked that she ran back, not knowing what to do.
The Nyala then decided to take advantage of this and carried on running and charging the lioness. At this point, the lioness just gave up; she knew it was not worth it. Risking injury from those horns was just not worth it. So off she walked with defeat in her eyes. As for the Nyala, he stood tall and proud of what he had just overcome. He most certainly defied the odds!

This nyala is one hell of a unit, not only being able to escape a crocodile, but also being able to defend itself against a lion
The nyala is trans and the croc and lion are fobes. That’s why they fought.
@@TransKidsMafiaGet some new material already
But not a cheetah
@@kovy689I told my newborn to blink if they’re trans. They blinked. My newborn came out as trans
@@TransKidsMafia the nyala is fighting for its life and you're talking about transgender people??? talk about a narcissistic self inserter smh... all you delusional people are the same.
Buck’s like: I’ve had enough of this shit for today
😂really tho
He definitely wasn’t taking it.
Facts I’ve never seen one actually fight back even more surprisingly against a lion.
Buck wanted all the smoke
@@adonislimes6156 The Lion was the first to run up.
This is the first happy ending for an antelope we’ve seen on this channel in a while. The Nyala wasn’t taking crap from his predators.
i don't know about happy ending. the nyala is hurt, that's why it's not running away. the lion knows it and is just waiting for the right time to finish it off
@@josephfdentSeveral ungulates will go into the water to stand their ground, And there's no sign of Injury from the Nyala.
@@josephfdent Luckily that Nyala is smarter than you. Running in that situation would've been the worst option. It could definitely fend off one lioness as long as he stood his ground. Lions aren't gonna risk serious injury unless starving.
This buck has life figured out
wrr
Hahah yeahaa
stuck between a croc and a hard place
Lol Katt Williams 🤣 punch lines "Stuck between a pimp and a hard place. "
“Donna! Do you hear me?!”
She didn't want anything to do with those buck horns LOL
This nyala boi deserves to pass on his genes. He eked out a victory against some pretty bad odds this day.
The baddest!
Man imagine lions waiting for you on land and crocodiles in the water
You see the Nyala’s ears pushed down, it’s very furious
At last, Lioness was like - "It was easy prey, but a little large".
a little too sharp horns you mean 😅
more like the lioness was shitting its pants
Lioness was just straight up too scared to attack the Buck
@@ashdog236 not so fast. the prey is hurt so the lioness is just waiting it out. it won't attack right now but it will, a little later
Holy smokes!
So fast reaction, so little fear!
Was pretty calm throughout the whole confrontation.
so little choice
The Buck was like: "Fuck this shit! You'll have to earn this meal buddy!!"
Lioness was like: Ahh I'm not hungry anymore.
A war on two fronts😂 You gotta use any available options and resources available.
When the buck realizes there is only one lion, it didn't fear and the ambush failed so the Lion didn't have that element of surprise advantage.
Buck said "Not today Mofos"
Talk about the Great Escape! Steve McQueen couldn't have done it better! Love it!❤
I love this Channel it’s my favorite channel to watch wildlife
That Buck was shocked that the cat walked away
Not really. He pulled a Scarface. "Say hello to my little friends" (the horns).
cat walked away but it will return later. the buck is hurt
Rare to see this scene, very impressive channel.
Subbed.
Lion: why do these idiots always think the water is a safe haven?
😂
I love how they both just stop and stare each other down.
Lioness was smart to back down.
Would have been extremely risky taking on that Male Buck one on one.
Might have gotten gored to death.
the buck has got one hell of a story to his mates later in the pub
Whenever I need a break from videos of our current politics, I watch these wildlife videos that are generally less vicious
Have you watched African Wild Dogs feeding?
bro was the main character
Bro they are mix packing 😂😂
Yeah the worst kind of mix packing.... 2 apexes 😅😅
Non TI/PoT players be like "The hell is mix packing?"
The lion knew if it were to get injured in taking down the nyala, it would be game over for her.
Love this channel
That is one lucky Buck, the lioness needs to leave and find her takeaway somewhere else as this buck has worked so hard to stay alive.... ❤
Amazing that buck and Amazing that video!
Lion thought, nope I’m not that hungry
video proof of why to never give up
dont act like prey - wont be preyed upon
Bro forgot for a second that he's not a gazelle 😅
Look at her confidence after defending herself 👌😂
Nyala can be pretty aggressive if need be
The end?
The lioness were smart enough to walk away to a distance, where the buck would judge as he can turn and run, wrongly. Who won the patience game, i wonder
👍 🇧🇴 Fans n1 Bolivia 🇧🇴 presente aquí waoo increíble 👀📹😯👀saludos cordiales desde sudamerica santa cruz Bolivia 🇧🇴 💚 😯👀📹👀📹😯👀
This one buck has evolved his entire species by 1000 years
Not only Cats have 9 lives, this Buck too...
When that Lioness walked away, I bet the Nyala was thinking "wow so this is the power of confidence"😅
Lioness : I was messing with ya buck !
Buck: Say whatt !!!!
Lions like wait I'm meant to be the hunter not the hunted😂 bucks like yeah and don't look back
Imagine if all animals started standing up to Loins 😂
The buck was like: Not today mate, not today
"Never back your enemies into a corner" Sun Tzu
he never said that lol
That buck jumped out of the frying pan and into the fire. Good to see him survive both predators, though.
Buck be like: " You want a piece of me? You want a piece of me? Come and get ya some! No? That's what I thought."
it's exactly what a warrior is
I love how the hunt takes a pause after the croc. attack.
watched it 1 or 2 years ago
The lion said “Chit, I ain’t that hungry”. Walk of shame.
Buck was unlucky and lucky too.
Smart buck.
@@eternalbeing3339 😎🐐
Buck really held its own against the Lion.
A clear indication of being “stuck between a rock and a hard place” 🤣
The force is strong in him.
Nyala horns are no joke! They and Oryxes use them often to defend themselves. I don’t understand why Impalas and Kudus don’t do always the same; they just use them in territory battles between themselves but seldom against predators.
And the sable antelopes
That Nyala is a G! Straight up!💪😤🐃🔥🔥🔥
Yes!!!
Exceptional
Moral lioness without pride is a cat 😂
If only male impala learned how to be as brave as a nyala
Lion needs a teammate
De los antílopes el Nyala es el más agerrido ... Si se ve acorralado te hace frente y no es fácil para los depredadores
Funny how one's perspectives change. After initially running away from the lion and then encountering the crocodile, the buck decided that the lion wasn't so scary after all.
"I'm tired of all y'alls shit! LEAVE ME ALONE, got work in the morning!"
buck is the warrior today
Buck got his butt saved , twice! ❤
Fortune favours the brave
This buck went through a nightmare and came out alive😮
The situation was "आगे कुआं पीछे खाई" personified!
Didn't need that last slo-mo.
The definition of a rock and a hard place.
Damn, this buck got hands.
A real definition of stuck between a rock and a hard place
Buck: Nope, Not Today
When sh$t is coming at you from all sides, but you're still the bad ass.
它要吃它，但面對面的時候獅子不知所措的害羞了。
Buck was caught between a Rock and a Hard Place.
The lion felt sympathy and said tomorrow
He learned very quickly that , in this case, the water is not your friend.
Lioness thought she wasn't that hungry after all
Só os felinos mesmo para conseguirem correr de lado, agilidade e reflexo no mais alto nível.
I was waiting for the nyala to remember it had to big ole horns at the top of its head 😅
Horns aren't a free win card. I've seen other animals get grabbed because the lion or hyena dodged out of the way.
😮
Now that survival
The croc tried to pass the buck where the lioness spent her time and yet the buck stops here!
Deus provedor. Amém Jesus.
Buck's glory days
That's not even the story; the real story is how it ends
Wow , that is one lucky buck .
Smart from the buck not to keep wasting energy on charging the lion and instead choosing to stand its ground
the crocodile missed 1st strike 😅
There's way a buck is gonna stand face to face in front of a tiger, this is why lions need a pride.
Dude that lioness could have killed that buck solo if it was desperate enough... There are chances of it getting injured too by those horns but it's certainly very capable of taking down that buck...
a savage place
When you have installed the new firewall software and surf with intend on spam websites...
That nyala said I'm not going to turn into a happy meal today you should go and try out Burger King.
Saddest lion walk away at the end.
buck yeah!!!
In the Water and On Land Predators lurk
This buck life is played in hard mod
That is one lucky buck
