'a hawk descending on its prey' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'seizing buffalo's tail violently lion feels own power' is the wordplay.
'seizing' indicates putting letters inside.
'tail' indicates one should take the final letters.
'violently' indicates an anagram.
'power' becomes 'p'.
The last letter of 'buffalo' is 'o'.
'lion'+'feels'+'own'+'p'='lionfeelsownp'
'lionfeelsownp' with letters rearranged gives 'inonefellswop'.
'o' going inside 'inonefellswop' is 'IN ONE FELL SWOOP'.

'like' is the link.
