That is a really old buffalo that will die very soon anyway due to very worn away teeth; he can't bite the grass off anymore. Amazing that the one bull was able to toss the lion twice before it could get away.

I wonder what it is about humans in that we're always rooting for the "underdog"? Also worth noting is the possibility that somewhere in their DNA, the buffalo (as indicated in this video) might have the same inclinations. This may have been an old cow and what occurred might only have momentarily delayed the inevitable, but the idea of "safe" bulls placing themselves in jeopardy to defend one of their own certainly is inspiring!

Imagine how high mbogo could toss a human ... hard to imagine the lion was not hurt more than just having a bruised ego as the article claimed ... broken ribs, internal bleeding, collapsed lung ... it sure looked like the horn should have penetrated the lion's chest if it did not ... lion skin must be tough.
