Elephants and buffalo are both herbivores, but due to their large bodies and erratic temperament, they are classified as the most dangerous and gigantic animals in Africa. Each animal contains in itself characteristics and strengths enough to claim heroism and claim in its territory.

Usually, people will be more familiar with the fierce battles of species such as lions and leopards when hunting or the fights of elephants, rhinos, and buffaloes when defending their territory. Any fight between two animals in the Big Five group is extremely intense because of its fierce nature.

Tour guide Conrad Cramer was once performing his job at Addo Elephant National Park, South Africa, when he happened to witness a “competition” between two members of the Big Five.

Accordingly, Mr. Cramer was leading his group of guests to visit the wild natural scenery at Addo Elephant, passing through Spekboom lagoon when he discovered a large herd of elephants gathering to drink water.

The scene was really peaceful until a wild buffalo walked out of nowhere and walked slowly to the lagoon. It also doesn’t seem to have any intention of being invasive except to find a piece of water to quench the thirst from the scorching sweltering heat of summer.

However, a member of the elephant herd, the smallest animal, does not like the feeling of sharing resources with strangers.

Witnessing face-to-face, Mr. Cramer recounted, the baby elephant aggressively approached the wild buffalo, showing an extremely angry attitude. It spread its ears, raised its head, all the signs of a mature elephant when it wants to intimidate an opponent.

Of course, wild buffalo cannot feel comfortable when threatened by a new creature with “cracked eyes”. It rushed to use its sharp horns to knock the little baby elephant into the air. Getting hit, the baby elephant’s confidence was shattered and had to find his mother to hide.
