Bad moment for a Buffalo as elephant throws it into the air like a stone

A buffalo was gored and then tossed several feet on air after it picked a fight with a mother elephant.
The unfortunate buffalo which weighs more than 500kg - died after the battle shown in these images, snapped by a photographer while on holiday in Kenya.
The photos from the Maasai Mara game reserve shows the elephant charging the buffalo, as three young elephants huddle behind her.
The buffalo had been dozing under a tree when the elephant innocently walked past - but, inexplicably, the smaller of the two beasts decided to charge and headbutt her.

Reacting quickly the much bigger elephant drove her tusk into the buffalo, hoisting it several feet in the air and inflicting fatal injuries.
