Lion Blamed For Death Of Over 400 Buffalo In Botswana by eghosa77: 6:36am On Nov 09, 2018 |
Hundreds of buffaloes have drowned in a river on the border between Botswana and Namibia. Early investigations suggest the herd was being chased by lions and ran into the river, say Botswana authorities. A local lodge owner told the BBC that it looks like the buffaloes then got stuck because the bank on the other side of the river was too high and that they panicked and stampeded. He has never heard of such a large group of buffaloes drowning before. The authorities in Botswana estimate that roughly 400 buffaloes died. People living in the area collected the buffaloes and took them home to eat. The river flows through the Chobe National Park, a major tourist attraction known for its huge numbers of elephants, giraffe, sable and buffalo. Mr Micheletti told the BBC that he heard the lions roaring a lot on Tuesday night. When he went down to the river on Wednesday morning he saw hundreds of dead buffaloes. Simone Micheletti, who owns a lodge on the Namibian side of the river, said that the herd was unusually large - at roughly 1,000 buffaloes. Mr Micheletti told the BBC that he heard the lions roaring a lot on Tuesday night. When he went down to the river on Wednesday morning he saw hundreds of dead buffaloes. He added that it was cloudy on Tuesday night so he suspects the clouds blocked the moonlight, meaning the buffaloes couldn't see. 1 Like

Reminds me to watch Nat Geo Animal fight tonight. But these lions are heartless, watching as these buffalows drown without them catching any. How did that happen? I better kill myself than commit suicide. 30 Likes 1 Share |

Fazemood: Dont you eat cows? Its the circle of life.... how would the lions survive if it does not try to feed? The crocodiles, grass, vultures would have a good meal off the dead buffalos.. 11 Likes |

Bufalo is one useless big for nothing. I am very sure that if this 400 Bufalos had faced the few Lions without being scared it would had been bloody for the Lions. 63 Likes 6 Shares |
