We just can’t help feeling traumatised by what this fierce lion does in order to survive in the wild.So if you’re a little squeamish, you may want to hold someone’s hand through this.Horrible as it is, the astonishing footage, from YouTube, shows the moment a lion in South Africa’s Kruger National Park devours a buffalo by a roadside watering hole.

But as it tears into the flesh, the famished beast discovers something pretty morbid nestled in the carcass.You can hear the gasps of two shocked onlookers as the lion pulls out something fleshy.

The lion walks over to a member of its pack and settles down in the shade to eat the foetus.The video was uploaded by Cant Believe Eyes and has just under 1,000 views – but we can see why.It is not clear whether the baby buffalo was alive or dead at the time.Although we should marvel and respect the natural order of things, this is totally grim.
