The animal kingdom is full of fascinating stories and sometimes their antics and adventures don’t look to be that far away from humans. For instance, MP elephants working in a tiger reserve getting a 7-day vacation and enjoying picnics to rejuvenate, or a wild boar and her piglets stealing a naked man’s laptop in the park. But they also exemplify values of unity and strength, something which we humans could definitely learn from.
In a video shared by Twitter user and Indian Forest Service (IFS) officer Susanta Nanda, two lions could be seen being successfully chased away by a herd of buffaloes. In his caption, he suggests it to be an example of the hunter becoming the hunted, and also shared the lesson of how unity is synonymous with victory. Check out the video below:-
Unity & victory are synonymous🙏

The video initially starts with the two lions getting ready to attack the buffaloes who were grazing in the field. As the lions move forward and inch closer towards them, the entire herd seems to instinctively make a run for it.
But soon after, the tables are turned when some of the buffaloes turn around and try to lead the herd towards the lions in order to chase them back into the wild from where they’d emerged from. They successfully manage to do so, and the astonishing moment was caught on camera. A group of onlookers can also be spotted at a distance in the background, witnessing the amazing scene unfold before them.
Here’s how tweeple reacted to the surprising twist in the video:-
