Buffalo miraculously escapes from clutches of five lions in old video

The video has garnered 7.1 million views on Twitter

An old video has surfaced on the internet showing a group of lions preparing to feed on a water buffalo. The pride consists of two male lions and three females. Moments later, the two lionesses get into a fight and the five of them start attacking each other.

Taking advantage of the situation the buffalo gets off the ground and casually walks away. However, the buffalo seems to be injured and is able to join his group of buffaloes.

The video was posted by the Twitter page Weird and Terrifying. The clip’s caption reads, “Lions fight over eating water buffalo, then it casually walks away.”

Another user wrote, “Getting distracted and losing site of what’s important can put your very existence at risk.”

A third user wrote, “No” water buffalo. A young Cape buffalo apparently strayed from the herd, otherwise the herd would have been busy killing that lion pride.

A fourth user commented, “Literally snatching victory from the jaws of defeat for Buffalo…”
