Fearless buffalo save its friend from pride of lions, viral video stuns internet

New Delhi: Lions are known to eat buffaloes as one of their favourite foods. They are large animals with a lot of meat, so if lions can catch one, they won't have to hunt for another five days. A buffalo, on the other hand, is a difficult prey item for lionesses who hunt for their pride. We've seen lionesses being thrown in the air or chased away by a herd of buffaloes while hunting. A similar video is now going viral on the internet, showing a few lions attempting to hunt a buffalo that had become separated from his herd. But what happened next piqued the interest of internet users. Before we continue, please watch the video.
