A lioness approaching a buffalo herd may believe she has found an opportunity. But buffalo are not passive prey. They can quickly turn their attention toward the predator and defend themselves as a group.
The Smithsonian Channel has documented a striking encounter in which a lioness attacked Cape buffalo on her own and ended up facing the animals' powerful defensive response.
The story demonstrates one of nature's most important rules: predators can become prey-like when they make the wrong decision. A hunt that begins with confidence can suddenly become a desperate escape.
