Teamwork makes the dream work, so when these two prides of lions joined forces to bring down a buffalo you’d be forgiven for thinking it was game over.

You’d be wrong, because even with four lions tucking in at the same time there’s light at the end of the tunnel.

Here’s Kruger Sighting with what really went down:

Incredible to see how two lionesses from one pride chase the herd into two males from a different pride. The 4 of them are happy to share the meal, however, “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” happened to the buffalo when the lioness from the male’s pride comes in and a huge fight breaks out, leaving the buffalo a great opportunity to escape without even a limp.

Taken in the Mala Mala Private Game Reserve in the Greater Kruger National Park in South Africa.

Stick around until the end, somewhere near the 3:50 mark, that’s when it really gets feisty.
