With sharp claws like knives, extremely strong teeth and a supple body, unparalleled strength, at the top of the food chain, the lion truly deserves the nickname “King of all species”.
Where there are lions appear, where other animals must be afraid, avoid if they do not want to lose their lives. With just a little opening, they can become a lion’s meal in a jiffy.
However, it turns out that’s not always the case. Nature always hides in it interesting and unexpected secrets that if we do not observe closely, we will not be able to know.
One day, Norwegian wildlife photographer Olav Thokle, 54 years old, was at the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya to capture precious images of the animals there. here.
And all of a sudden, Olav had the opportunity to witness something rare: A strong, uninjured male lion had to climb a tree, apparently running from something, because of its appearance. … extremely slick.
The slick appearance of the “king of all species” surprised the photographer.
Witnessing this rather humorous scene, photographer Olav was surprised. What made the “king of all species”, “heaven is not afraid of earth, not afraid” had to turn into such a pitiful appearance?
Looking down, Olav laughed when he understood the problem: A herd of wild buffalo. Turns out, the other lion teamed up with 3 other male lions nicknamed the Black Rock Boys to hunt a herd of wild buffalo with up to 500 heads.
However, with the power of formidable horns and large numbers, the buffalo turned from the hunted to the hunter, making the lions “strong enough to run”, and “king of all things”. species” as we see it, escaped death quickly after climbing a tree.
The herd of buffalo had not yet left, so that the lion did not dare to climb down.
Buffaloes are herbivores, normally seem gentle, even “easy to bully”, but when “irritated”, they are also very scary, with powerful, sharp, curved horns, ready to stab pierce the body of the lion, not play.
Reportedly, this lion was stuck in a tree for hours in an uncomfortable position.
“Suddenly the buffaloes noticed the presence of lions. The strongest buffalo ran like flying towards the lions. Three of them ran away, and the fourth one was caught by the buffalos. enraged and unable to escape.
Finally, it saw a lone tree in the middle of a large grassland and climbed there to hide from the pursuit of the other big and strong buffalo. It was there for almost an hour, before the buffalo decided to go elsewhere,” photographer Olav said.
