This starving lion made a big mistake when he was forced to take on a fully grown buffalo in his desperate bid to survive.Wht ensued was a brutal hour long battle leaving both animals bloodied, exhausted and with fatal wounds.
Dramatic images capture the lion savagely biting and clawing at the buffalo's mouth, the big cat's face smeared with blood from where he's been gored by his heavier and large opponent's horns.
The lion was a 6 year old who suffers from Mange, a type of skin desease and was cast by his pride, he was tossed around in the air as he tries to mount is opponent and was finally finished by another buffalo who delivered a fathal blow.
The photo was captured by safari guard Matt Armstrong - Ford.
