Scaredy cat! Lion climbs tree to escape herd of buffalo in Kenya as the king of the jungle is left with his tail between his legs
Remarkable pictures have shown a lion making a desperate bid to avoid being trampled by scrambling up a tree
Below him the group of angry buffalo waits as he slowly begins to lose his grip and slide down the tree trunk
But with a terrified snarl, the cowardly lion managed to escape by leaping onto the grass and running to safety
