A lioness injured badly on her left lower flank by a buffalo horn in Maasai Mara

This lioness was injured badly on her left lower flank by a buffalo horn. The wound was deep with the skin sheath being fleeced but luckily no perforations to the stomach wall or any bone dislocation.
The lioness was treated and stitched in an operation that took one and a half hours. She’s now doing quite well, and should be back hunting soon. Incredible!
In Serengeti Tanzania, the Veterinary Unit under the Ecology Department is responsible for the treatment of the sick and injured wild animals.
