A hungry group of lions latch onto the back of an innocent buffalo. KENYA, AFRICA: HEARTBREAKING images have captured the moment a brave two-thousand-pound buffalo dragged along a coalition of hungry lions that were hanging off its one image, the cape buffalo could be seen as it whimpered out in pain after an African lion latched itself onto the buffalo?s lower-body, sinking its sharp teeth into the buffalo's skin. Another image captured the moment a group of 500-pound lions began ganging up on their kill, where they sunk their sharp claws and teeth into every area of the 2,000-pound buffalo?s body, as it took its last breath. In the footage, the lions were later spotted as they huddled together and began tearing apart and devouring the innocent buffalo. The heart-breaking photographs and footage were taken by finance director Murray Jacklin (50) from Surrey, UK, who captured the brutal attack in the Maasai Mara National Park, Kenya, Africa, from 98-feet away. It took just 24 hours for the gang of lions to fully devour the buffalo. Murray captured these upsetting images and footage with a Canon 7D MK2 camera and a Canon 100-400mm lens. Murray shared this spectacle on his Instagram, The cape buffalo and African lion are eternal enemies, but lions will usually favour smaller prey such as wildebeests instead. However, when a pride is large enough, they will target larger animals such as buffalo, but will only prove successful in only one out of seven attempts.
