A Kruger National Park ranger survived a buffalo attack by hanging on to the animal's horns until it exhausted itself. Don English was flown to hospital after the attack on Tuesday‚ which happened while he was conducting a "sustainable offtake exercise‚" South African National Parks said."During the exercise‚ a buffalo bull charged Don English at very close quarters‚" SANParks said on Wednesday."The buffalo managed to hit English in the chest before throwing him repeatedly in the air. English managed to grab onto the buffalo’s horns during the attack and hung on for his life until the buffalo eventually succumbed. "English was immediately attended to by a local doctor and airlifted by helicopter to a nearby medical facility where he is receiving further medical attention."Kruger managing executive Glenn Phillips extended his well wishes to English on behalf of all staff in SANParks.“This is a huge blow for us as we are just four days away from celebrating the World Ranger Day on Sunday‚" he said."English‚ as the regional ranger‚ has been one of the leaders on the ground getting the Ranger Corps ready for this important event and we would like to wish him a speedy recovery." – TMG Digital..
