A lion’s ambush turns chaotic when an injured mother buffalo risks everything to protect her calf. In this dramatic encounter, courage clashes with hunger and a brutal display of instinct and sacrifice unfolds.
Safari-goer Fiona captured this heartbreaking sighting while on a game drive in Kruger National Park. As they made their way down the S41, Fiona’s group spotted an injured mother buffalo limping along the side of the road with her calf, and knew the weakness wouldn’t go unnoticed for long.
In the open savannah, patience is a predator’s greatest weapon, and this remained particularly true for two male lions who were lying in wait in the tall grass. Two perfect targets, the injured mother and her calf, wandered unsuspectingly into their path.
