2015.10.10 Watch as the Tsalala lion pride launch a buffalo attack on the 10th October 2015 at Djuma game reserve. SafariLIVE presenter is James Hendry.
If Buffaloes were intelligent it wouldn't matter if 20 lions attack them. Such a large herd can destroy any pride of lions but they're dumb and start running.
@@apathak34 Buffalos are far from dumb. They have complex herd structures where the young are always protected, they exhibit a form of democracy where the herd will decide in what direction to travel through a complex series of movements. They also will come to aid of falling herd members something very animal’s do.
Lions rely a lot on smell. Cars with their petrol or diesel engines smell so bad, they mask the smell of live animals - us. Importantly, they see the car as a single entity. Try to expose a major part of yourself out of the car and you will see what may happen.....
No offense, but the lions aren't as dumb as your comment. They know adult humans in vehicles are dangerous. Luckily for the safari companies, the lions have also learned that if they ignore the humans, they won't be shot dead. They can still focus on their natural prey.
If only Buffalos would know that all they have to do is stay together, hold their ground. They are just too dumb to realize that. Remind me of a lot of people.
If they were people they would be saying "Did you see how those lions backed off after I went after them" thinking that they were the lions were scared of them alone. Not noting the 100 others that helped scare the lions off.
Buffalo are far from dumb. They run away so they can regroup the herd at place the old and young in the middle of the herd. They also will come to the aid of fallen herd members which is something not a lot of animals do. They also exhibit altruism when deciding what direction travel ect. The buffalo will sit in the direction they want to travel and what ever direction the most buffalo are facing that’s the way they will go.
"If an opportunity arises over there in the thick brush they might go for it..." Cue the third lion that was hiding in the blind spot on the left side of the vehicle all along.
lol, there's no bullying. They're just eating their food when they hunt buffalo. It's interesting to see buffalo show some bravery for once. Usually with just a couple of lions after them, they turn and run, sometimes even running ahead of their calves so they can get caught.
This isn't bullies and victims. This is predator and prey. Buffaloes eat grass and grains. Lions eat buffaloes, when they can. Both have leaned not to mess with adult humans in vehicles. Bullies are cruel. Predators are just hungry.
From Kenya..land of the big five wildlife...Once the buffalo herd realises they have power in numbers and do not have to stampede and run ..this will completely change how lions hunt
Lovely footage, those lions are clearly inexperienced and only toying with the herd. At least they succeeded in causing a brief stampede, an essential tactic in a real hunt.
Cape Buffalo occasionally kill and stampede lions, entire prides. Sometimes they get so ticked off that they trample lion cubs while the adult lions scatter. They could do that every time, but they're just like people, too cowardly to band together and defend themselves.
Somehow Wildebeests seem completely different, as I have seen on these videos (at a waterhole) if a crocodile grabs one wildebeest, the others just stand there as if to say " Duhhh, just glad it wasn't me!" when just a little horning in could have done so much to save their brother or sister. Are cape buffalo smarter?
Lion 1: "I'm telling you Gus, let's forget about the Water Buffalo and snag that guy behind us. lion 2: "What about the group up on the hill? They might come after us if go for him." Lion 1: They're too far away and they'll just scream and video everything. This guy behind us is alone, his engine off and the jeep is a drop top to boot! He's got no horns and he's slow. Let's eat.
THE LEGENDARY LION COURAGE STARTS AT A VERY YOUNG AGE. Two young lions one male and one female attack a big buffalo herd by themselves. Contrary to tigers, Lions do regularly frontal attacks. All lions learn to hunt inside a pride, in duo and as a single hunter. In this case it was juvenile male and female duo.
I know it sorta helps with conservation efforts but always seeing loads of vehicles just isnt natural always wondered if there will ever be a day again when there will be a generation of animals that dont have to see that as well
One lion turns to the other, "See dumbass! I told you we should've gone to McDonald's! the McRib is back and only for a limited time! But noooooooo you want to get our asses kicked instead!".
Water Buffalo just aren’t that afraid of too many things in the seringette (?). They will charge anything that they don’t like. Including big guns that humans carry, they are the brave bunch.
I must think at one Beautiful Song:"No one wants to lead the Way,be the first death of the Day,leave his Family behind...it must all be in the minds of....battalions of Strangers,the battalions of Strangers....
I assume this is intended as a pro-hunting comment? Extremely weak! Lions hunting for food is part of nature, men hunting with guns for trophies isn't. Lions hunting human hunters who don't have guns - now that might make a worthy subject for photography. Just a thought.
David F everyone hunts at least twice a day but most leave the dirty work for some else and hunt from the pantry or grocery store . Man was created to hunt .
The Buffaloes are like: 'Wait, there's only two of them! Get 'em!'
If Buffaloes were intelligent it wouldn't matter if 20 lions attack them. Such a large herd can destroy any pride of lions but they're dumb and start running.

Who was the first person to sit in an open vehicle by hungry Lions and think: Yeah, this should be safe.
After the herd realizes it has the lions outnumbered 200 to 2......
"Here kitty, kitty, kitty!"
I guess that herd of buffalo is smarter than a herd of sheeple
Are you a sheeple?
Nope. Eyes wide open and aware
It would be a flock of sheeple not a herd, not so aware.
All that was missing was Benny Hill music when the lions were being chased!
That's the British influence appearing .
bufallos: lions, rrrrrun for your lives fellas!
also bufallos: hey, it was only two of them, and we are 200++, why are we running??? attack!
I am always surprised when hungry Lions pass up easy meals sitting in vehicles....
They are much wiser than you give them credit for, they are fully aware that such a meal would be their last.
It will only be a matter of time. Mark my word.
I was just thinking that. :)

I thought the same thing. There is such a thing as free lunch
When your food starts chasing YOU!
Good one
Buffaloes arent food
@@poussy9252 Well too the lions they are -_-
Brilliant Jamesie. Your singing is fine, but your forte is and will be guiding people through the animals and you do it with authority.
I like it when the prey turn the tables on the predators!
P
Why there's not many predators bit load of prey
I think those buffaloes are pretty tough critters!
When the hunters become the hunted! 😂😂😂😂
@@markschroeder2578 why there's not many predators but loads of prey
I’ll just sit here in a open vehicle and watch lions ,and hope they don’t see me 🙄
No offense, but the lions aren't as dumb as your comment. They know adult humans in vehicles are dangerous. Luckily for the safari companies, the lions have also learned that if they ignore the humans, they won't be shot dead. They can still focus on their natural prey.
The buffalo beat us to it. They said, the 1% have been feeding off of us long enough.
Bob Marley sang about them... "Buffalo soldiers"
Good one
Nice and good video from the African buffaloes

Those buffalo were actually really smart,sometimes when a situation happens all of a sudden,it's best to back off and regroup
@@torisefford5671 Right? But even though they look eager, no bull wants to be the first, " Do it! I got your back" LOL

Very good job buffalo
They cant here you they don't have a compueter

yes! get em buffalos! such beautiful buffalos, really gorgeous
Really sad that all of this is happening in a Mall parking lot. Was that one vehicle waiting for Starbucks?
Underated comment 😂😂😂😂
Excellent footage, good commentary. That's South African English accent, i think?
I love buffalo
Me too!
Prem Rai So get married them!
Yes I love Buffalo to.....they taste like beef.haaaaaaaaaaaa yum yum.
Lions... "Er, nope- think we'll leave this one. Only joking y'all"
The Bufs: Hey look there is only two lions...we got this come on!
Early morning , colour of the nature ,good video.
I can close my eyes and pretend he's a commentator at a rugby match where the Lions are paying the Buffaloes
Some days you are the hunter, some days you are the hunted... Safety in numbers will always win out!
I like buffalo
ลลล
Love how they sit in open air vehicles in the wild
Amazing, Buffalo with more guts than SCOTUS!!!
Oh these are just cats, we thought dinosaurs attacked us.
What is this? Lions hunting buffalo on the Los Angeles freeway?!!
WyomingHome Yep, The ghouls are there baying for blood.
It's nice to see the bullies get bullied sometimes
lol, there's no bullying. They're just eating their food when they hunt buffalo. It's interesting to see buffalo show some bravery for once. Usually with just a couple of lions after them, they turn and run, sometimes even running ahead of their calves so they can get caught.
Yeah, Krazy is proper name. Krazy perception of nature
This isn't bullies and victims. This is predator and prey. Buffaloes eat grass and grains. Lions eat buffaloes, when they can. Both have leaned not to mess with adult humans in vehicles. Bullies are cruel. Predators are just hungry.
@@alwaysuseless Thx for being a voice of reason towards the community of pple who see Disney movies as documentaries
@@MogulMonk1 Thanks for rewarding my efforts with a good laugh.
I'm going to miss you James!
I wonder if the buffalo will start associating the vehicles are only around when the lions are?
Two lions? Hold my beer.........
Can't believe that the photographer used an open jeep!
Two tourist buses and a tv crew... lol
"then i get trampled by a herd of buffalos. CONSEQUENCES!!"
Just as many tourists as buff at this scene.
Who knew Jason Statham moonlighted as a safari guide?..
From Kenya..land of the big five wildlife...Once the buffalo herd realises they have power in numbers and do not have to stampede and run ..this will completely change how lions hunt
When you when you mess with bull you get the horns!!
How the turntables...
The buffalo got away, looks like it's meals on wheels then!
This is really amazing
Lion 1: These damned buffalo are tough!
Lion 2: Hey....why not grab one of those stupid humans? They're just sitting over there.
Lion 1: Oh, yeah....
Yeh? Great idea but removing their cloths makes me sick.
Lovely footage, those lions are clearly inexperienced and only toying with the herd. At least they succeeded in causing a brief stampede, an essential tactic in a real hunt.
Cape Buffalo occasionally kill and stampede lions, entire prides. Sometimes they get so ticked off that they trample lion cubs while the adult lions scatter. They could do that every time, but they're just like people, too cowardly to band together and defend themselves.
Every American worker should watch this. Alone, the Water Buffalo is vulnerable, as a group, they are unstoppable.
I like buffalos !
Its like the buff had an epiphany - hey, theres 100 of us and just 2 of them, maybe we can do this!!!
Zahid Shah 786
Those buffalo are gutless wonders
Michael a terrific answer why didn I think of that
Are you Jason Statham's brother??? Bcz your sidepose look like him...:D

Possibly, but they are definitely meaner...buffs are extremely dangerous animals.
@@whitefang351You have to be dangerous to survive the wilderness

Three most dangerous animals on Earth
Hippo
Croc
Cape Buffalo
Humans?
Smart manuveur on the buffalo's part!
Tiens ! les rôles ont été inversés, bravo les buffles !
How come wild animals never attack safari vehicles or tourists?
That would be great video to watch. A lion pride of around 10 attacking the tourists.
Natural instinct: Lions RUNNNN
Humans watching: we can viewed as punks 🤣
2 lions, 250 buffalo, about 500 humans!
Lions rush to see if there is a straggler. There isn't.
Seems to me these are pretty inexperienced young lions.
I know it sorta helps with conservation efforts but always seeing loads of vehicles just isnt natural always wondered if there will ever be a day again when there will be a generation of animals that dont have to see that as well
I am surprised that people are allowed to get that close! They are getting in the way! They should not be allowed to be that close!
One lion turns to the other, "See dumbass! I told you we should've gone to McDonald's! the McRib is back and only for a limited time! But noooooooo you want to get our asses kicked instead!".
Amazing 😉
Nature is so wild!
Someday, buffalos will realize lions do not have to kill them. All they need to do is turn against them
Haha how topical
Michael Ashcraft, Really, I couldn't imagine sitting around the African bush in an open vehicle like that.
Quite strange seeing all the cars parked all around with tourists eager to see some action.
I wonder if thats what all the UFOs do with us.
When lions attack, the buffalos run. When buffalos attack lions run.
Lion - Look,humans in jeeps,let’s eat them instead.
This guy reminds me of Jason Statham...anyone else?
Our new niche in this is just being a spectator
A couple of those Buffalo joined a band, but got arrested for using the name "Buffalo Springfield" just saying
Why don’t the lions just go for one of those humans? Easier pickings and there are almost as many of them as buffalo.
That was not a predatory attempt by the lions. It was a defensive charge. The Male's body languge was stiff, with his tail held straight up.
Oh-ooh - dinner is fighting back lol
Wasn't a serious attack. Looked more like a show put on for the tourists.
I think it's because they were embarrassed with all those people watching them...
I like bufflow too much
What's wild about this video? Looks like a parking lot full of tourests.
Great.
Cameramen get down from the vehicle to separate them please???? Peace is SWEET
Who us lions? We weren’t doing nothing!
And three herds of humans.
This video would be so much better without a voice 👍
Wow look at those teamers
Look at the tourists. They think they're out on a picknick.
Seeing tourists in open top Land Rovers puts me off going on safari. I'd want a solid roof over my head with lions around.
Lion: Look some dumb tourists, forget the buffs.
Why is jason Statham filming wild animals now?
Water Buffalo just aren’t that afraid of too many things in the seringette (?). They will charge anything that they don’t like. Including big guns that humans carry, they are the brave bunch.
These are Cape buffalo. Water buffalo live in Asia and Australia.
I must think at one Beautiful Song:"No one wants to lead the Way,be the first death of the Day,leave his Family behind...it must all be in the minds of....battalions of Strangers,the battalions of Strangers....
Maybe the lions will go after easier prey next time...like humans sitting in open top safari vehicles...😬
Has anyone tried playing classical music to the Buffalo to see what would be their reaction
Peace
How the people in and on the Land Rovers keep from being killed or attacked I will never know.
Hey Buffalo! What ever you would do, finally you would be the food of lions. I am a big fan of lions. Courage! Is the Nick name of lions.
Meanwhile the anti- hunters in the land cruisers with their cameras want to see something die and get it on film !
and us sitting behind our computers get to see things like this because of those people and their cameras...
I assume this is intended as a pro-hunting comment? Extremely weak! Lions hunting for food is part of nature, men hunting with guns for trophies isn't.
Lions hunting human hunters who don't have guns - now that might make a worthy subject for photography. Just a thought.
