«Breaking News» Pride of big cats retreat as buffalo mount defence of their herd

A lion was forced to flee from a battle with a herd of buffalo who mounted a spirited defence of their calves in South Africa.   

In the epic fight at Kruger National Park the lions were first to approach the buffalo but the tide quickly turned as the herd charged at their attackers. 

Wildlife photographer Stefenie Botha, 27, came breathtakingly close to the hunt and captured the stunning pictures on camera. 

Despite their misjudgement the lions did manage to walk away with a partial prize after successfully taking down two calves.

Ms Botha said: 'My adrenaline was pumping. I was excited and could not believe what was happening. The whole herd of buffalo turned back and ran in the direction of the lions.

'The herd smashed through the lions and I thought the one female lion got trampled to death, but fortunately she was okay. 

'Four of the lions caught a buffalo calf on the one side of the road and another female caught another calf on our side. 

'Both the buffalo calves were saved, but the lions went back and took another two calves. After the buffalo stopped fighting back, the lions killed the calves and started eating.'

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.
