Contrary to popular belief, the African buffalo is not an ancestor of domestic cattle and is only very distantly related to other larger bovines. ZAMBIA: THIS LIONESS was left running for her life when the one-thousand-five-hundred-pound buffalo she was planning to have for dinner fought back. Unusual pictures have captured the moment a 285-pound lioness began chasing a buffalo, bit its leg and then ran away after the tables turned. Another picture showed the embarrassed and empty-stomached four-foot-tall lion looking defeated after retreating to safety. The pictures were taken by safari camp manager, Peter Geraerdts (51) from Wassenaar, The Netherlands. The Canon EOS-1D X Mark II-user shot the huge herd at the South Luangwa National Park, Zambia. @petergeraerdts
