Their natural predators are Lions, Hyena, Hunting Dog and Crocodile, however these predators will hunt smaller and easier prey like Wildebeest and Zebra first. Lone male Buffalo's are the most vulnerable to these predators, as they hunt in packs. Even when the predators out number the lone Buffalo, they tend to wear the animal down for hours on end until the Buffalo is exhausted and has had enough apart from the Crocodile who of course, waits until the Buffalo is in the water.
When the Crocodile gets a chance at a Buffalo, it is usually a baby or an adolescent who is targeted as they are not as powerful as the Adults. When the Buffalo are in a herd, It is the same with the other Predators mentioned as there is less danger to the predator going after a baby or adolescent.
Buffalo, when in herds, will come to the defence or aid of another Buffalo getting attacked and will gore the predators with their horns. This is why the predators prefer easier, safer prey like Wildebeest, Zebra, Gazelle. If they get injured by the Buffalo's horns, the predator can not hunt. If the predator can not hunt, it can not contribute to the pack or feed itself. When a predator can not feed itself, it starves. And when it starves, it obviously dies.
