I've seen many lions killing and/or feasting on buffalo; but I've never seen a herd of buffalo killing lions.

With Buffalo, it s question of being "dumb". Buff have good eyesight, exceptional sense of smell and hearing. Younger bulls may think they are "invincible" and attain an air of stubborness evn in the face of danger such as facing a lion(s).
In Jan´s example, my explanation is that "prey" animals have a "everyone for themself attitude" when it comes to being attacked by predators. A mother zebra can do nothing against some lionesses that have caught her faul. They know that if they try they will most likely end up dead, so they rather live to give birth another day.....One of the esieast animals to capture alive is a baby buffalo: if you push the herd they will stampede and the young will fall behind very quickly as they get tired. The mother seldomly bothers to wait or protect her stricken offspring. That is why we avoid hunting bulls in herds with young calfs. The risk of separating young from mother is high.
hi mich
despite opposing hunting alltogether i go to my knees in front of you for not hunting bulls in herds with calves. it makes you somehow superior to other trophy hunters!
would make a difference if all the hunters act that way!
thanks for that...............
