Buffalo Take Down in the Mara Triangle, Masai Mara, Kenya.
It was a quick kill and fed the pride for 3 days. Watching this pride for several days prior to this event, it was clear they were hungry. The strategy deployed on this hunt was incredible to watch, how they worked in perfect harmony and unity. The 2 males arrived a few days after and took claim on the remains.
