In the video, you see the lion lying down in the middle of a herd of buffalo and panting in the heat.
One of the buffalo approaches the lion and bumps it with its head - and the lion swatted at it.
The buffalo noticed the weakness of the lion and went in for a full force charge which scooped the lion into the air.
The lion put up a valiant fight, but after it got trampled by the buffalo, it could not get up and walk away.
