Buffalo soldiers! Bull is saved by its friends while being EATEN by lions... which are sent flying through the air <br /> <br />All looked lost when this young and lone buffalo was attacked by two lions in a South African national park. <br />But the pair had not bargained on the buffalo's friends coming to his rescue, and moments later they were tossed several feet in the air before being chased away. <br />The dramatic scene was captured on camera in the Mjejane Reserve on the border of the Kruger Park. <br /> <br />In a flash they pounced and began to take down their prey. <br />The buffalo put up a brave fight, but ultimately looked destined to succumb to the ruthless attack. <br />'It looked like it was game over, he really looked finished', said Oliver. <br />'Then we saw two of the original herd coming back to investigate and we didn't really know what to expect'. <br /> <br />Plan: In a flash they pounced and began to take down their prey. The buffalo put up a brave fight, but ultimately looked destined to succumb to the ruthless attack <br />As the young buffalo fell to the ground, a large bull from the herd sized up the situation, seized his opportunity and attacked the young lion. <br />'It was insane, he flipped the lion about 5 metres into the air. I had never seen anything like it,' said Oliver. <br />'We visit the park two to three times a year,' said Oliver's father, Ian. <br />'In all the years we have been coming to the reserve, we have never seen anything close to what we saw that morning'. <br />'We really felt privileged to have witnessed such a rare occurrence'. <br />Amazingly all of the animals walked away without any injuries, except perhaps, some bruised egos..
