LIONS ATTACKING A BUFFALO. Here is a battle-royal between a South African Lion and Lioness and a Cape Buffalo. The latter is the strongest and wildest animal of his species in Africa and his horns are large and powerful. A Lion will seldom attack a Buffalo unaided ; when one does the Buffalo is as likely to be victor as the Lion. Usually two or more Lions unite to conquer this powerful beast. In the picture the Lioness, who has led the attack, has been thrown to the ground and the Buffalo is about to use his horns to good effect when the male Lion springs on his back, making the contest so uneven that the Buffalo is certain to be vanquished.
