A 1-year-old elephant wandered off from his mother at the Norman Carr Safaris Chinzombo Camp in Zambia, and 14 lions attacked him—but, somehow, this story avoids an unhappy ending. The lions were unable to take the elephant down, even as they clung to his back, and he was able to get away, the New York Post reports. The whole thing was caught on video by a group on a game drive through the safari, and Norman Carr Safaris has more dramatic pictures on its website, including one in which the elephant is nearly taken down by three of the lionesses. He ultimately escaped by going into water nearby.
"In the 30-plus years I have been a safari guide in Zambia at the [Luangwa] Park, never have I seen anything like this," says the guide who drove the group to the site. "We were all so worried the baby elephant would be killed right before us." Instead, he ended up reuniting with his herd, and the guide notes that his new nickname is "Hercules." (In California, a 6-year-old boy recently survived a mountain lion attack.)
A young elephant somehow was separated from his herd when a 14 member pride of female lions descended on the helpless animal at Norman Carr Safaris Chinzombo Camp in Zambia. Clearly outnumbered, the elephant managed to bravely fend off the attack despite having three lioness on his back at one point!
This event was captured on video by guests on a game drive from Chinzombo; Journalist Jesse Nash, Artist and Professor at CW Post College in New York, Dan Christoffel, UK Naturalist, Steve Baker, and Australian TV personality, Nina Krakowski. At sunset, suddenly they stumbled upon this extraordinary sight and battle for survival. But this little guy beat the odds, fought back and got away unscathed.
"In the many years I have been a safari guide in Zambia at the South Luangwa, never have I seen anything like this," said Innocent, one of the top safari guides that works with Norman Carr Safaris, and who was the one who drove us to this remarkable site. "We were all so worried the elephant would be killed right before us. What a fighter. It fought off all 14 lions.

Video footage from Zambia shows the amazing moment a young elephant miraculously fought off a 14 member pride of female lions in Zambia.
The video was shot by guests on a game drive at Norman Carr Safaris Chinzombo Camp who came across the scene at sunset.
The video shows a lion climbing on the back of the elephant and biting as the other lions surround the creature. The elephant then runs towards the water, but by then two lions have mounted the elephant’s back and are holding on stubbornly, trying to bring the elephant to the ground.
The elephant somehow manages to make it into the water with just one lion on its back and begins to lash out and scatter the lions. As the last lion falls off
