«Breaking News» Lionesses launch themselves at buffalo in Tanzania to teach their cubs how to hunt

This is the brutal moment three lionesses launch themselves at a huge buffalo as they teach their cubs how to hunt.

A sequence of mesmerising photographs show the buffalo scarpering as one of the lionesses flips through the air trying to sink its teeth into the beast.

Another shows her clinging on to the buffalo's front legs with her claws digging in but the Cape Buffalo, which can weigh between 500 to 1,000kg, manages to flee unharmed.

The images were taken at the Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania. Photographer Michael Mansell, 40, from Tucson, Arizona, said: 'This was a massive Cape buffalo and the mother lionesses were training their cubs showing them how to take down a buffalo.

'If they can successfully roll the buffalo then the rest of the lions can jump on it for a successful kill. They didn't manage to do this and it actually ended with the hyenas chasing it across the river.

'It was a tense moment lasting about five to 10 minutes and involving around 16 lions.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
