Phenomenal Rescue of Buffalo Calf by the Entire Herd

Herd refuses to give up calf

from JoeUser Forums
The video was filmed at Kruger National Park.

Three buffalo approach a water hole, the calf is taken by the lions, the lions have a tug of war with the crocodiles for the calf. In the mean time the two adult buffalo have gone off to get the herd. The entire herd approach and surround the lions then attack them to retrieve the calf. Amazing footage, riveting stuff and behaviour I have not seen before.

The herd is victorious and the lions take a beating, this is really wow stuff

It is unlikely the calf would have survived its injuries for long despite the best efforts of the herd in saving it. I like to think though it did survive its wounds to go on living a good life, but then I am just a softie!
