It is moments like that that tell you who your true friends are. It also tells us why we need herds and tribes in the first place. I bet that buffalo stays closer to the herd from now on.

Absolutely. I couldn't watch the video, but the pics told the story well enough for me. You definitely don't see that very often. A happy coincidence someone was there to observe, and have a camera. No, I really don't believe in coincidence..

Wow thats one lucky Buffalo

[Catherine]

I hope he is more careful. That kind of luck doesn't happen too often.

[Cibach]

It's good to see the prey species come out on top for once.

[Catherine]

When we stick together we are stronger. I am sure the lions will be more careful from now on too.

That young buffalo is very lucky!
I bet it was his mother who came to his rescue...mothers protecting their young can be very fierce.

[Catherine]

You are right about mothers. There is nothing fiercer than a mother protecting her young. Actually any female animal(humans included) feels that protective drive. It may be the only reason why we have survived. We protect our young.
