At a watering hole on the African savanna, a herd of buffalo congregates. Around them, a pride of hungry lions. The big cats wait patiently for the herd to drink its fill, before unleashing their shock-and-awe tactics in hopes of catching a weak victim.
But what happens when two bold lions face a strong male buffalo? They may have claws, but that’s no match for helmet-like horns and skin up to 5 cm thick. Who will win in this incredible battle of wills?
Original Production:
“The Lions Rule” - A Terra Mater Factual Studios production, in co-production with National Geographic Channel and Doclights/NDR Naturfilm, in association with ARTE France/Unité Découverte et Connaissance and Shibumi Films, produced and directed by Owen Prümm, written by Ruth Berry.

The hightlight of the video was the narration and the script. Whoever wrote it deserve praise.
How about the shots? You know people spend weeks or even months observing these animals with a camera to record the exact minute something interesting happens. The narrator and the script writer probably spend 2-3 hours working on this. And you come here to say that the good thing of this video is the narration? What's wrong with you?!
@@johnwt7333What’s wrong with you? Don’t play the work of the script writer and narrator down to uplift the work of the photographer. The narration IS very beautiful and stands in stark contrast to other nature documentaries which use a simpler and much more direct language. It’s almost novel-like. I can understand OP's praise. You however are nothing more than a dick
Hi cartoon80s90s! Thank you so much 🥰
The narrations irritate me. I don't mind a little sprinkled in here or there just for context purposes but I don't need a play-by-play every moment as if I can't see for myself what is happening.
Hi @@johnwt7333! Some incredible fact for you: our filmmaker lived and filmed more than 10 years among the lions - did you already watch our latest upload? It's the making of of our lion-videos, guess you'll like it 🤩
“They may be kings, but He is the Boss.”
Badass. 😎
100%!
Lions attack as team.
Lions are coward animals which can not dare to atteck on a group of buffaloes. They can't even dare to attack alone on a single buffalo and as soon thay find the buffalo defending aggressively they Don't stand it and flee away.
@@cijengeorge8186They were a team and lost. Losers 😆
For everyone saying how easy it would be for the buffalo to just stand their ground, remember they need eat way more than lions do because they're bigger and grass is less energy dense. And while one lion can run off to refill on water, the buffalo can't do that. The buffalo just have to try to save as much energy as possible without becoming a meal. It's a selfish game.
@@bluejar5614 yes it does goofus they can't stand their ground for as long as the lions can wait. They'd have to leave eventually
@@bluejar5614someone's never played The Isle and it shows
What do you mean by less anergy, from a grass or vegetables?
Damn. Imagine Buffalos had developed a strategy of organzised defense. Looks like with even numbers, they could take on large predators quite easily.
They actually do! But sometimes they get spooked and panic. That is what the hunting tactic of the lions is aiming for
@@terramater
It's somehow so satisfying to see, when prey animals occasionally turn on the predator - although I know, we shouldn't take sides, when it comes to wild animals. Great footage 👍
They have one.
They attract hunters in long grass, then encircle them and just ram and stomp on the poor victim again and again and again until it's death.
Buffalo is pray animal and Lion is predictor..
@@rajrb593
I mean they're nicknamed the black death and widowmaker so yes you pray for your life when you see a buffalo.
That are some amazing shots! That Buffalo showed them who is boss!
Thank you so much! They did indeed 🐃
I saw this same video on net geo wild yesterday evening and in that video this baffalo didn't survive the lion attack. So why in this video you're telling us that the baffalo survived????
Who said male lions don't hunt...
The narration made the bull so badass!
😎
Yes this is exactly what I needed. The old narrator and the classic documentary feeling.
You can never go wrong! What would you like to see next?
@@terramater If it has this format? Anything. I like this narrator. The narrators for the last few days were pretty good, but this guy and the female narrator (who narrated the Egypt video were pretty good too). But if I could suggest a video title why not about Nepal doubling its tiger population?
Thanks for the feedback and for the suggestions ❤️
@@terramater you're welcome. hope you'll hit 1million subscribers by the end of the year. you guys will deserve it.
We tooo! Fingers crossed!
I love how the buffalo was like "I aint finished yet motherf*ckers"
Absolutely! 🤣
Buffalo's really really need to back each other up!
1:38 I love the picture of the beautiful lion walking down the hill.
It's a very strong image!
Exciting video of the battle of strong animals in nature!👍👍👍🤝🤝🤝
Thank you 🦁🐃 yeah we think so too
I should apply this to my trading strategy
Great shots! Its a fascinating predator/prey relationship between these two species. The Nat Geo documentary Relentless Enemies goes into depth on it. Theres a great sequence in Planet Earth 2 with lionesses attempting to take down a buffalo as well. Just a question, will we see full-length docs on this channel at some point? Or behind the scenes videos? I always love seeing how these anazing images are captured. Cheers!
Thank you for your kind words! Lions are truly fascinating animals and their behavior at this special place in Ruaha National Park, where we shot all the material, is outstanding. Our director Owen Prümm has been filming there for more than 10 years!
And yes, there will be a Making of of this series very soon on our channel, so stay stuned 🤓 and we are also working on showing our full-length docs to all of you here!
Are you more in 50+min videos or do you prefer short ones like our last upload?
@terramater wow, that's awesome! I can't wait! And I'd honestly be fine with short form and full-length documentaries. I think more long-form content would be great personally, but I understand that many consumers are seemingly more interested in shorter videos these days. I'd watch anything you put on this channel!
We‘re glad you‘re here and part of our community! Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
👍
someone pls track this bull i want to see how it recovers
Old enemies meet again...always putting on a fierce showdown when they meet!
For sure!
No end result. just a teaser clip.
i like it
That was intense, also you didn't need an AI thumbnail
Quiet so we can enjoy
The hide on the neck 5 cm thick?! Sak Sarel! Kind regards.
😅
That's a Cape Buffalo, not a Water Buffalo, right?
Hey @StonerInMN! Yes those are Cape Buffalo
Cape Buffalo is the most feared beast in Africa and it's not even a predatory animal
But guar would kill lions
Yes but unlikely since gaurs are bad at defending themselves
@@TheInfinityAvenger tiger is bigger and stronger than lion but it has no courage to attack full grown guar !
Nice
Thanks 🥰
Buffalos are similar to humans. When you stand up against aggression, you find yourself alone Few bulls could settle these disputes, but they prefer to save their tail. Baboons are the opposite.
Amazing footage
Hi Mark! Thank you so much fro saying that 🥰
Why is the narrator so subjective.
African Buffalo aren't actually the largest living Buffalo species, that honor goes to the Asian Wild Water Buffalo which gets ever larger.
"A couple of cats who think of buffalo as just a piece of meat." Oddly political for a nature video.
WHEW that's a wild video, y'all, great work, had me wincing in the best way.
Also the new icon is a bit green on green, may wanna check that with some folk who are visually impaired and make sure it's actually, well, clearly visible.
Fans will say that lions are just young and sick, in fact, one male lion can single-handedly knock over a buffalo with his one paw strike. And lions never attack in the back and do not try to immobilize the target, they immediately pounce either face to face or jump the buffalo into the air for 300 meters, what kind of bites in the legs and back, lions never do that, how could you think that?
A jungle is no place for the weak
Indeed, the jungle is a harsh and unforgiving place!
Omg 😱
wow! really Nice Also Danger
Totally!
Buffalo Boro Lal pahad Bigg boss
Who is like me, who reads the comments and watches the video?
Interesting approach!
Thanks 🙏
Thanks for watching it!
@@terramater
Welcome 🙏
Blood loss and the massive infection from the lions claws and teeth will take him before too long
Nature is brutal
omg omg omg IT'S THE LIONS SEQUEL
Hi alveolate! You are correct 😍🦁
Humanity lifetime experiences, are reflections of the harsh, brutal contests-!-... Between lions,versus... Buffalos in the wild, Brutal jungles.....
Hi Joe! Nature is brutal!
They were all in a good mood and good friend of yours is a great guy and my friend was online and was done
There’s an old saying about Cape Buffalo,
“If elephants don’t forget, then the Cape Menace doesn’t forgive.”
Wow 😱
A lion's battle iq is really fascinating
100%! And more about Lion is coming to our channel 😏
Wow 😂❤🎉😢
Crazy, right?!
I'm not sure you're new picture is helpful 😖
Hey friend! Thank you for the input, but could you elaborate what you mean exactly? The avatar pic or the header? And also why? Thank you!
@@terramaterThe thumbnail, it's ai generated isn't it
your*
you're is short for "you are"
@@terramateri dont know about their issue is with it but for me the logo was so similar to the background its hard hard to see, especially on a small screen
Your new channel picture. Could be a me thing, I usually find a creator changing their photo as somewhat jarring, but I will say the overabundance of green made it a lot harder to recognize this amazing channel.
I thought he was finished once Justin got on his back
I found the commentary hilarious. Referring to buffalo as 'vegans by nature' instead of just herbivories; vegans are people who choose a particular diet over other available diets whereas buffaloes have not exercised any choice, they are not meat eaters - they don't have any option. Similarly, the reference to lions as 'couple of cats who think of buffalo as just a piece of meat' - lions are carnivores, they are wired to think of buffaloes as food, would be quite a task to condition lions to think of buffaloes as their equals and thereby leave them alone. Is it a coincidence that this channel features videos where the prey triumphs over the predator or have I missed videos with different endings. Just random thoughts. Excellent photography - great work.
Hi Sam! You can check our playlist Nature is Brutal: czcams.com/play/PLZ3CjNbCdQe-ELSdJar_ANwT4QBYBOHnd.html
And not always the prey has a happy ending on our videos
The background noise spoils the video, WHY 👎
This goes to show you how strong male buffaloes are since male lions are the strongest predators in Africa and there was even two of them despite this the buffalo was able to fight of the lions
on another day, a stronger male lion can take down a Buffalo by himself. It's a give and take depends on who is unlucky on the day.
That Male lions Were younger . If they were in their prime .. they can easily take that down
The strongest Africa's predator is the Nile crocodile.
No !
Idk... I prefer watching videos without the narration.
I can clearly see what is happening I don't need someone to talk the entire time telling me exactly what I am seeing.
Thanks
You can get it
❤
Wow😂😢😮😅
Hi @mosespeace8786!
Couldn't have phrased it better 😉
Just like bizon from ice age
01-01-2020
Type "Buffalo Launches Lion Straight Into The Air! Buffalo Wins Over Lion" in YT, and you'll see what buffalo can do to lion
We also have a video of two lions trying to kill a buffalo and it doesn't look good for the lions 😅czcams.com/video/VVUoeIyL07E/video.html
Right, some times, it doesn't matter that they both are "kings" of the savannahs 🦁
But there are more bigger animals live here then them too 🦁
Like.............
The elephant, called "jumbo" 🦣
Or the bull buffalo, called "boss" 🐂
And hunting them is not an easy task even for two big lions! 🦁
Exactly!!
The water buffalo of South Asia is the largest Buffalo species in the World, not the Cape Buffalo...
Cape buffalo are actually not the largest of buffalo species, the Indian Gaur is bigger than the Cape Buffalo
What?
🧐
Lions are in group, and attacks a lone Buffalo's, it is rare that single lion killed young Buffalo .
But sometimes it happens!
Get your facts straight - the Guar is bigger than the African buffalo
Buffalo sodier🤣
😂😂😂😂

Those Male lions Are Young. Prime male lions are way stronger .They have dark Hair
Buffaloes are one of the main cause of death in lion.
That's a record, maybe one of the only time were the prey is also a major cause of death to it's predators.
A few bad hunt can eradicate most of a pride of lions.
most prides avoid buffaloes, only few are specialised into buffalo hunting, and they are at higher risk to dispatch (because if too many lions die the pack can no longer hunt buffaloes)
Buffaloes are actually the favorite prey of prides. Lions know the risk.
@@dariusbrock2713
False.
They prefer to attack antelope or zebra or even scavenging in general.
And the prey preference of different pride or population can greatly vary.
Only a few pride are specialised into buffalo hunting.
Most other don't Dare to attack a buffalo or only on rare occasion.
Funny. More than half of a lion diets are cape buffalos . A single male lion hunts adult buffalos always, don't take excuses just because of this one video, is even young lions that have been kicked out of the pride, not More than 2 years. So what are you saying?
@@The_beast7_T
That's 100% false, cape buffaloes are not the main prey of lion, by far.
Most prides don't even dare to attack them, only a few pride of lions are what we call "buffaloes specialist", which kind of make most studies have biasied result as it really depend on the region and pride.
And even those prides struggle a lot, some large pack where completely destroyed in a few bad hunt.
lion mostly hunt zebra and wildebeest as well as antelope, gazelle and warthog
Buffaloes are not an uncommon prey of course, but it's one of the more dangerous prey of lions.
And one of the main cause of death in lion.
More than hyenas, disease, other lion or elephant even.
species such as zebra, impala, wildebeest, gemsbocks and some antelope, are favored over buffaloes by most packs.
And no, this video doesn't fool anyone, because unlike what most documentaries shows you, most lion hunt are failure.
With a 25% succes rate only on average.
And can be as low as 12% success for somes specie and environnment.
with hunting in the open being nearly 3,5 time less effective than hunting in bushland and shrubs, and hunting in the night and twilight being nearly twice as more efficient than during the day.
Even a warthog have more chance to escape than being killed in a hunt (47% success).
zebra and wildebeest hunt are around 38% succes at most.
Adult cape buffaloes are fucking though, it's 500-800kg of muscle and large horn that can gore a lion in a single hit as well as hoove able to fracture the ribs of any predators.
Lion and hyenas generaly goes for youngs, under 1 years when they hunt buffaloes.
If we exclude humans, buffaloes are possibly THE major cause of death for lions, (other lions in intraspecific fight may be more common, but it mostly tagret male, not females).
They're no joking, not for nothing they're called widowmaker and black death.
They even have an entire anti-predation behaviour just to fuck up a lion and send him in a one way direct express flight to heaven.
@@deinsilverdrac8695 you're ingnorant, you didn't even show any prove. There's only one video on record of a cape buffalo who kills a lion and the lion is very old, apart from it no other records or account of a buffalo killed a lion.
You are even saying a different thing, while am telling you that male lion hunts alone and kills bigger prey like adult giraffes, buffalo, wildebeest, zebras, wart hog, kudu, hippo, young elephants. Am coming with the link cause i don't say what i haven't seen.
Lion success hunting rate is 30% when in pride or 17 to 19 % when hunting single. Where do you got your opinions from?
You said lions die from hunting cape buffalos ? But you haven't even see a video of lion getting killed by a buffalo, you still don't know that a single lion attacks buffalos herd of 2000 to 4000 and come out with a kill,as you will see the buffalos running for their lives.
And here you said lion success hunting rate can be as low as 12% , are you guessing this or what?
A single lion kills 5000pounds African bush elephant (am coming with the link) and a single lion again an adult giraffe of 4500pounds , two male lion do kill adult hippos.
!
How is a Buffalo that's around 2,000 pounds the under dog against 2 Lions around 400 pounds
Buffalo is useless to defend his self
It is better to lose his tail than to lose his penis 💔💔💔

_'Vegans by nature'_ is a dumb way to describe a herbivore.
But that´s what they are - and everyone understands the explanation 🐃
@@terramater Technically, they're vegetarians. They're mammals, so they suckle on their mother's teat. So, it's incorrect as well.
@@terramaterNo, I too, thought it was dumb
Veganism is a choice, herbivore is biology
annoying narration
