African buffalo and lion

Watch out for this buffalo! Its handlebar horns make dangerous weapons, and it can run up to 48 km (30 mi) an hour.

Why don’t these lions have manes?

They are females, who do most of the hunting while the males protect their territory. One female lion claws a buffalo’s back. Another avoids its thrashing hooves. By cooperating, lions can bring down a healthy adult buffalo, which weighs up to 590 kg (1,300 lb). Even here, the outcome is uncertain. The buffalo may fend off the lions with its lethal horns and hooves.
