Jaw-dropping Lion Pride Hunts Buffalo & Grieving Herd's Unexpected Return
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 8 พ.ค. 2017
- An incredible lions vs buffalo sighting, rather dramatically described in the media as "one of the rarest and most heartbreaking scenes ever captured in the wild", of the Mangheni lionesses catching a buffalo turned into an even more amazing sighting when the buffalo herd returned to try to revive their fallen teammate.
It is not uncommon for buffalo herds to try to rescue a member that has been taken by lions, or even chasing lions from a meal, but I have never seen a herd licking and nudging a member of the group that is already dead.
This lion vs buffalo encounter has since gone viral on many platforms but this is the original clip.
There is a longer video featuring what happened after the buffalo left also on my channel you can watch that here: • The Epic Showdown: Lio...
Filmed in the Sabi Sand Nature Reserve, Greater Kruger National Park, South Africa
This video of lions vs buffalo contains scenes that may be too graphic for sensitive viewers The lion pride do actually stalk and catch the buffalo, the buffalo herd does chase the lion pride and try to revive their fallen colleague. Lion and Buffalo are eternal enemies. Humans influenced neither the chase, the behaviour of the lions, nor the behaviour of the buffalo. Full length lion vs buffalo video including eating is 25 mins long on my channel.

About Rob The Ranger Wildlife Videos:
The purpose of the channel is to show what it is like to experience seeing wild animals on an African safari. Nature Documentaries are often highly edited to tell a story, wildlife safaris are not, and the idea here is to show the wildlife sightings the way they were seen. Safari tours in Africa are generally suitable for all ages and this channel can be considered an educational channel about incredible nature, some scenes in the nature videos may be more graphic than people are used to but this is the reality of nature and is what you would see if you were present on such a safari in person. Safaris in Kenya, South Africa, or any other African country are an unrivalled experience for anyone with a passion for nature, wildlife photography, and travel. Hopefully the animal videos on this channel can provide a glimpse into what the nature experience is like and encourage more people to take a wildlife safari one day.

3:08 the lions were like but first let me take a selfie 😂😂😂
Patrick Awwwwwwwwww Lol
I can't wait to see the long version of this video! Incredible how caring the other Buffalo feel towards their fallen member..Just incredible!
If all herd would charge they never die
First time i have seen it with buffalo, however after this i saw it a few more times

Once they were a half a mile away, someone in the buffalo herd said "hey, has anyone seen bob?" "Oh crap, we better go back and get him"
midnight rider 😂😂 oh shit hahaha he was the clumsy guy damn
hlr
midnight rider unfortunately too late bob is already dead.
Nice Boy: bob was not the brightest bulb in the chandelier.
midnight rider not bob but stacey.
The last part was amazing, I have never seen such attention from other animals like this for another dead companion is simply unbelievable.
Great video!!!
Try to see how elephants behave with their dead ones. You Will be amazed
very common with elephants

She must of been a mother to many of them. Most animals especially pack or herd animals, deeply grieve over their mothers.
9:46 the way the buffalo looks for who murdered his friend💀 *agressively licks snout*
Dying Buffalo: "Yeah just great guys... where were you five minutes ago? Why didn't you get here sooner like you did for Jim just last week."
🤣🤣 on god
L opp ss5
i was scared
They were behind me a moment ago. Then what happen to you... oh god. You tripped.
3:09 “wait guys, they’re taking pictures. Pose”
Yeah they know that they are going on TH-cam
They are paid actors, 😀😀
Clever lioness. Stopped the cow from calling in backup by suffocating at the mouth. Intelligent beasts
Talf Fire then let us suffer dang ain’t gotta be such a snowflake
True and seems like this one was a high ranked buffalo by the way they were acting
Well.. it wasn't what I'd describe as enjoyable to watch... but tremendous work nevertheless. It's amazing to have this kind of event on record and to be able to watch it anywhere. Thank you for this.
Interesting but emotional i would say

Thanks so much for your videos. I particularly like your minimalist commentary throughout these. A word here, a word there. Calmly spoken. In other channels there is often loud interaction and nervous laughter and chatter of those watching. Without quiet and respectful witness to such events, I think that those observers miss out on the full experience of 'being there' during these moments. Your approach seems to me to influence those accompanying you in your vehicle, to their benefit, and ours. It is always a pleasure to watch.
Varvitski yes. thats why i all that time.watch rob the rangers.

Hey finally nice intro, with audio clear and all. 😁 thanks for the videos.
Just Amazing, Thanks Rob!
Buffaloes are like Police force...they always come only after a murder takes place...

Not always......check out battle at kruger, one of the most famous buffalo rescue videos out there at least 5 years old now.
Excelentes videos,gracias!👍
Wow Rob this is fantastic footage!! This is rare behavior!! Proves that these amazing animals do have feelings and relationships!! Very sad i no nature is nature but gee its a harsh world they live in!! This has to be the best unique wildlife footage in history!! Keep up the amazing videos!!

Those birds are awesome 😎 just chilling on buffalos back like “yeah sorry for your lose” 🙏🏾
Fallen soldier. I'm guessing he was an important member of the herd
Great footage,
Thank You Rob the Ranger!!!
I enjoy seeing the Lionesses hunting...
These buffalo had no idea the Lions were there.
Is this the MARSH PRIDE ROB?
THANKS FOR THIS AWESOME VIDEO.
These Lions were hungry and happy they got a substantial meal.
This was the Mangheni pride, glad you enjoyed the video!
Those horns though.... friggin amazing footage dude!!!
It's so crazy how basicly the lions apply a choke hold on it, limiting its oxygen and then it's a done deal. Somehow very similar to human fighting where a choke hold will end a fight fast.
Usually they like to go for the neck like most predators. That is to make the prey bleed out ( from the jugular vein ) or paralyze it by destroying the spine.
Conor Mcgrgor knows all about that life.
He got raped.
@@Cisco661Barber did he?
Lion are killers they know ur weak points, heck in the video the lion knew where to rip the skin to get to the stomach. Most animals are smart u have to be to live in the wild
Sexy Homeowner Well actually no, the hold on the neck is the same basic concept-they clamp down on the windpipe to suffocate the prey. The problem with buffalo is that their neck is just too thick for a lioness’ mouth to properly asphyxiate (a male lion usually can, however, which is why they’re sometimes seen joining the hunt when there’s a fully-grown buffalo involved), so instead she’ll go for the nose and mouth and bite through the nostrils so that the buffalo basically starts inhaling and eventually drowning in its own blood.
Poor buffalo :( but the birds seem to be having a whale of a time :)
Great video...that particular buffalo must have been an essential member of the herd. Someone could easily write a story about this moment.
Fear Allah unseen
This is how videos should be made, so natural n amazing to watch.
So they wait and watch until it died then they come to rescue it. Great job!🤦♂️

Male buff's face at 11:25 says it all. New intro/outro..... like!
tourpro because that one who die was. The whore of the herd.thats why.
Another special video from Rob The Ranger, thanks mate.
Amazing. Thank you.
Rob, how come the animals never attack you guys in the trucks? Great new intro mate!
+TheSalonGuy thanks! After so many years of photo safaris the animals don't see the vehicles as a threat, they see humans as a predator therefore not a potential meal. Not being food, nor a threat, means they don't pay any attention to us
Rob The Ranger Wildlife Videos gotcha! What if you got out of the vehicle? Would they then approach/attack you?
+TheSalonGuy it's very possible as you would be directly entering their personal space and they would see that as a threat and react accordingly. It would be different approaching on foot from a distance as the animal has time to react and move off or give some kind of warning.
Rob The Ranger Wildlife Videos you are the best.loved your videos.peace.
Rob The Ranger Wildlife Videos Rob, recently found your videos and wondering is that buffalo survived? The goose stopped and I was hoping to either see it getting up and rejoin the herd or did the lion cams back and finished it?
I'm pretty sure the lions will just wait till the herd of buffalo leaves so they can resume feasting again.
Its really emotional! The buffalo were trying to wake their dead brother! I love the quality of the video and how it was zoomed very close to give us a very detailed view.
Awesome! Great footage. Thank you for sharing.
Lions: “Could you guys hurry up mourning, we’re over here still hungry”
8:25 You can tell the bull is shocked when it see one of its own dead.
In glorious 4K. This was beautiful.
I love your all videos. Am additced to these now. I love Lions and Leopard
Восхищаюсь львами и желаю им всего наилучшего....

They care for each other just like some of us do...some of us!!!!
Fear me children of adam fear only me
I didn't know Lions suffocated prey like that. The Kiss of Death.
Thank you so much
An moving exhibition of grief
over a fallen brother.😢😢😢😢
I have seen domestic milk cows do this to "say goodbye" to a cow that was shot by a drive by killer. They each (30) came over one at a time to sniff and then they left, seeming sad for the rest of the day.
Pretty sure the one that got killed was a female

So Sad!
The Herd of Buffalos all come together to mourn the Loss of their matriarch .
AMAZING VIDEO!!
Wow amazing done thanks for taking the time to do this very highly appreciated my friend !!! VERY VERY EMOTIONAL !!!! SO SAD !!!
Nice new intro, Rob. Loud and clear.
taurus20077 thnx bro
Octobersvo 6 you're welcome sis
Poor buffalos - they are obviously more intelligent, at least socially and emotionally, than we give them credit for!
If they are intelligent then, they wouldnt allow hyenas lions and the rest of the predators to hunt them by isolating them from the herd and stampede them...
They're just cowardly meat bags.
People are just assuming they're "mourning". Decades of Disney brainwashing has made people look at animals like they're human society.
They’re SUPER STUPID
possesing emotions does not equal intelligece
Buffalo are not very intelligent at all.
Amazing vídeo !! 👍👍👍
Never before seen ! Thank you very much sir
Buffalo came in like y'all they got Stanley 😂😂😂💀
Southeast Daygo619 😂
Rob how would you feel about doing a story time episode? Hairiest moments, how you ended up doing what you do, why you decided to start the channel, personal feelings about the different species you encounter (which are your favourites, which are considered pests, that sort of thing)
Don't die as a disbeliever
VERY GOOD, MUI GRACIAS!!!
best channel 👏
10:50 And this is the moment where Buffalos became predators XD
Hopefully those lionesses get their earned meal
Wow that is some great video,Rob.Buffalo are remarkable creatures.Much love to both lions and these awesome animals called Cape Buffalo.
Thanks for the vid
Well done Rob..love your video ..wish I could go to safari I'm sure will be amazing to witness all the nature's beauty 😉👍
India don't burn dead body not allowed
Good job, great catch! I so love watching them stalk their prey! Awesome camera work, great sound. It's crazy how the lion are able to cover the mouth of their prey, able to stop the sound..Very smart of them.
Thank you Rob, for all you do! Your certainly the best out there!
Peace~
P.S. I so can't wait for our trip..12 or 13 more months now :) Goodness..booking a year in advance is definitely how you need to do it! Just a FYI for those interested in going on a Safari..For sure book in advance!
I didn’t even think the buffalo would suffocate with that grip. Lioness knew what she was doing!
lmao I was like what do you want old man, and than he was like your not here to see me
Buffalo always come back too late. If they were smarter (etc...come back immedality , because they're huge animals) and within a huge herd could take on any loin and they would never lose any heard members. But they just don't have the brainpower
alyy j lions will have no buffalo to eat if they are smart. One healthy buffalo is equal 1 male lion strength.
Thats why there are almost 8 billion humans in the world and not 8 billion buffalos
If they were smarter, lions would be extinct.
Buffalo lacks the courage in its instinct.
If this was the case most predators would go extinct.
the lioness does mouth to mouth for living , not to resesitate but to eat
oh' nice. i hope to whatch alot if long videos on your channel
Quite amazing. Late, but amazing. At the end it came back to life!!

After the ceremony
yeah, cold plate
Eventually
They waited for the wake then sat down and broke bread
No. The hyenas ended up coming around and dove in ass 1st
Buffalo's are thinking, hey George, no time for a snooze, there's lions about!
Hello Rob.. from Rob in USA. YOU Sir have recorded some of the MOST unique videos of ANYONE

It's not EMOTIONAL, It's just nature running it's course.
Nature Enthusiast I know
Sorry we're not all autistic. Occasionally, normies find nature exciting, moving and/or fascinating.
cut out the autistic shit and you had a nice comment
some people get strong emotions watching nature running it's course, no crying nor whining, just plenty of emotions, I believe that's what he meant.
and emotions are a natural and biological part of human behavior, which is the species watching this video.
Unbelievable at the end, great hi resolution footage.
great footage
those mighty lions are professional assassins

Thing is he or it probably would survive but die later from it's injuries.

I'm a vegan and I luv dis
No we don't but ok 🙄
They do, until they saw the herd come back.
They wanted relying to munch on some grass.
I dunno about them but i would love to cook that buff, damn this makes me hungry
Poor buffalo, this broke my heart...well, we can´t do anyhting... its nature.. sadly... :(
That's bullshit. The guy recording could have helped. but he was a pussy
Why help? The cats need to eat too. One buffalo's life sacrificed to feed 20 cats, who cares?

Jancy Varghese I called him terrorist because he hates buffaloes and says that they must die because they are ugly. That's what terrorists do
. They hate certain people because of stupid reasons and think that those people must die.
@@RadioBat I'm with you bro, ur right
Adam Ali nobody cares what you think is “ugly” that’s a subjective perception that you hold nothing more. Large herbivores like buffalo, zebra, wildebeest , gazelle , elephants, giraffe and antelope of all kinds play crucial roles in the ecosystems they live in primarily through aiding the biodiversity of plant life which other creatures depend on and being landscape architects through their natural habits, so like it or not having them around is important.
At 3:04 all the lions look at the humans with that "fuck y'all lookin at" demeanor haha
3:08 when your friend interrupts your meal just to take a photo and says "guys im gonna post this on instagran" haha
