Lions mate while buffaloes watch in unusual encounter at South Africa's Kruger National Park
A recent video shows a pair of lions mating while a herd of buffaloes watches nearby. Normally, such close encounters create tension, but the lions remained uninterested in hunting, focusing instead on mating. South Africa's Kruger National Park, home to about 1,500 lions, is a popular safari destination. The unusual scene highlights the lions' indifference to the buffaloes, who were simply looking for water. In another incident earlier this month, a group of lions attempted to hunt a rhino but failed when the rhino defended itself. These events illustrate the complex interactions between predators and prey in the wild.
