> Buffalo was attacked by the elephant after she surprised him while he was sleeping in the Maasai Mara, Kenya

> This series of images shows elephant impaling the buffalo before dropping him to the ground and walking

> This is the shocking moment an angry elephant impaled a buffalo with its tusks, tossing it high in the air, before shaking it to death.

> The unsuspecting buffalo had been snoozing under a tree in Maasai Mara, Kenya, when a female elephant surprised him and he charged at her.

> After the buffalo headbutted the elephant, she retaliated by digging her tusks into the creature and tossing the buffalo into the air with full force.

> The buffalo did not die immediately and rangers at the reserve think the animal must have been unwell to act so out of character.

> The extraordinary scene was captured by amateur photographer Kimberly Maurer, 56, who was on holiday at the game reserve.

> The 56-year-old said: 'I started looking through the images on the back of my camera immediately after the attack and became very excited to discover that I had actually captured the event in detail.

> 'This photograph was, no doubt, a once-in-a-lifetime capture for me. As you would imagine, his carcass was a meal for another animal or two.'
