JOHANNESBURG: Lion’s reign of terror in the jungle is common, but it becomes attention-seeking when jungle king is challenged by another wildlife predator.
It happened when a lioness’ attempt to hunt a herd of buffalo in South Africa was foiled when one of the animals turned on her and chased her away.
A video filmed by a safari-goer in Kruger National Park shows the female lion sneaking up on the herd before they notice her and take off running.
The lioness gives chase, but stops suddenly when a male buffalo turns and runs toward her.
“The lioness turns around and starts running at the full speed with the buffalo behind her. The buffalo chased the lioness for over a hundred meters [328 feet] before they stopped,” the filmer wrote.
