That is, until a very large bull growled and hit the lion, who quickly let the calf go. The lion then attempted to run away from the"very, very angry" bull. The buffalo chased the lion across a stream and pinned him down.:"It was an amazing experience, something that you very seldomly see and something that most people just dream of experiencing themselves.
"When we arrived we could see that something was going to happen, and as the time went by and the lions started to move into position, the excitement grew and adrenaline started to flow!"Mario Paul / Wild Photo Africa Safaris Lions will usually try to sneak up on the weakest buffalo in the herd, usually when the rest have dispersed.

Something that you normally only see on TV, we just got to witness," he toldAfter the lion was thrown in the air, it landed a few feet away.
