NEVER SEEN BEFORE!: LION FLEEING A HERD OF ANGRY BUFFALO - BY SCRAMBLING UP A TREE.. MUST SEE

The lion sprung from its hiding place and quickly scaled 

the tree to avoid being trampled by the angry buffalo

Remarkable pictures have emerged showing a cowardly lion fleeing a herd of angry buffalo – by scrambling up a tree. Despite retreating to the unusual safety zone the danger wasn’t quite over as the buffalo – prone to trampling – gathering under the tree to wait for the lion to fall.

The lion that was hiding in the grass, probably in attempt to hunt a baby buffalo, 

didn’t anticipate the fierce reaction it would receive from the adults guarding the newborn.
