A Pride of Predators

The Battle at Kruger is a video depiction of lions and crocodiles attacking a Cape Buffalo calf at a watering hole at Kruger National Park in South Africa. The youngest and weakest in the herd is ambushed, dragged into the water where a fight ensues as two crocodiles attempt to snatch the prey from the lion's jaws. Eventually the lions wrest the buffalo from the reptile clutch and prepare to devour the prize. In an uncharacteristic turn of events the scattered herd regroups charging and tossing one lion into the air — freeing the little calf. A vitalized buffalo family chases away the remaining strays and surrounds the unsteady baby within the safety of the herd.
