This is in no doubt proof, the ‘wild’ is unforgiving. A suspected to be unwell Buffalo was napping when a full grown elephant came charging at her…she retaliated, only to end up meeting her own demise. BUT, what the elephant did next, was captured by a photographer, and it’s terrifyingly mesmerizing…
This is the shocking moment an angry elephant impaled a buffalo with its tusks, tossing it high in the air, before shaking it to death.
The unsuspecting buffalo had been snoozing under a tree in Maasai Mara, Kenya, when a female elephant surprised him and he charged at her.
After the buffalo headbutted the elephant, she retaliated by digging her tusks into the creature and tossing the buffalo into the air with full force.
The buffalo did not die immediately and rangers at the reserve think the animal must have been unwell to act so out of character.
The extraordinary scene was captured by amateur photographer Kimberly Maurer, 56, who was on holiday at the game reserve.
I know this is nature, but still…I can not help but think… WHAT A HORRIBLE WAY TO DIE!
