In an incredible turn of events at Lake Nakuru National Park, Kenya, lions are seen running away from a herd of buffalo in stunning footage captured by Bill Kibet Towett.

The lions had been fighting for territory when the buffalo, alerted by their scent, charged at them, forcing the prides to flee for safety.

Some lions were even forced to climb trees to escape the massive buffalo herd, a rare and surprising sight given the buffalo’s frequent territorial confrontations with the lions.
