However, the brave jumbo spins around and goes into the water to get the hungry lionesses off his back. After a considerable amount of struggle, the elephant manages to free itself from the deadly clutches of the lionesses even when he was outnumbered.
When they try to come back, the elephant charges at them and manages to scare them away. “Lone tusker takes on 14 lionesses & wins. Who should be than king of forest?” read the caption.
