Buffalo shows amazing bravery; video goes viral

An inspirational video of a buffalo saving itself from lions and a crocodile attack at the same time is viral across social media.

The video was shared on the micro-blogging social media application Twitter.

In the video, the buffalo is chased by a pride of lions and goes into the water. As it was swimming for safety, the animal encountered a crocodile suddenly. It manages to escape from that attack as well. It defended itself from the cats until a herd of buffaloes come to its help.

This video best illustrates the life of Zimbabweans.
The buffalo is the citizen, the lions are the State, the river is @SADC_News & the crocodiles are SADC leaders.
Until Zimbabweans stop fighting individual battles through unity of all citizens, lions will feast on them daily! pic.twitter.com/khKWYxbctS

It showed the lion while grabbing the neck of a buffalo that consistently resisted to free itself from the lion’s grip. It surrounded the lion which led the predator to run away from there to save the life.
