One
big Buffalo met a horrific death at the tusks of a much larger animal. The
Buffalo had been sleeping in the shade of a tree when a female elephant came
upon it suddenly, stunned, the buffalo charged at her and sealed its fate. He
headbutted her prompting her to retaliate, the elephant impaled him and shook
him to death with its tusks. See more photos after the cut...
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 incident played out at
the Maasai Marai reserve in Kenya and was captured by amateur photographer,
Kimberly Maurer, 56, who was on holiday at the reserve. She said:
'I
started looking through the images on the back of my camera immediately after
the attack and became very excited to discover that I had actually captured the
event in detail. This photograph was, no doubt, a once-in-a-lifetime capture
for me. As you would imagine, his carcass was a meal for another animal or two.'
