<h6><span style="color:#170101;"><strong>&#8216;Big Daddy Buffalo&#8217; charges to the rescue!</p>
<p></strong><strong>Hunting lionesses attacked buffalo cow and calf in in Okavango Delta in Botswana</p>
<p></strong><strong>Cow found herself outnumbered by the attacking lions, and was &#8216;saved&#8217; by a hero bull</p>
<p></strong><strong>Buffalo bull mauled one of the lionesses who reportedly died two days later</strong></span></h6>
<div>
<p class="mol-para-with-font"><span class="mol-style-bold">This is the moment when a heroic buffalo came to the rescue of a damsel in distress after the cow came under attack from two lionesses.<br />
The lions had initially stalked a buffalo calf and the mother had charged at the lions to save her young one, but found herself outnumbered during the battle in Okavango Delta in Botswana.<br />
The lions attempted to take down the cow a number of times, but that she was finally &#8216;saved&#8217; by a bull from the herd. In a dramatic turn of events, a protective macho buffalo steps in, scaring the lions away and nearly mauling the injured lioness to death &#8211; saving the mother&#8217;s life. The lioness crawled out of the mud and died two days later.<br />
&#8216;The bull came and chased the female lions off the mother buffalo, trying to injure them.<br />
&#8216;Luckily they escaped, but while he chases them he sees the injured female lion and really finishes her off, by mauling her and pushing her into the mud.&#8217;</span></p>
