One we found was killed thus; and on the Leeambye another, which died near Sesheke, had all the appearance of having received his death-blow from a buffalo.

It is questionable if a single lion ever attacks a full-grown buffalo.

The amount of roaring heard at night, on occasions when a buffalo is killed, seems to indicate there are always more than one lion engaged in the onslaught.
On the plain, south of Sebituane's ford, a herd of buffaloes kept a number of lions from their young by the males turning their heads to the enemy.

The young and the cows were in the rear.

One toss from a bull would kill the strongest lion that ever breathed.
