Extraordinary wildlife video: Buffaloes unite to fight lions and save baby
Browsing through YouTube last night (taking advantage of it before it gets blocked here in Dubai, just like Flickr is), I came across this astounding video that some lucky travelers at Kruger National Park in South Africa were eye witnesses to. It has been viewed over 39 million times and has almost 43,000 comments.
They have managed to get live footage of a baby water buffalo being caught by a group of 6 lions, and then of over a 100 buffaloes being summoned to come save the baby and fight off the lions. Amazing. It's a wonderful demonstration of how "animal-families" stick together to help each other survive in the wilderness. It's about 8 1/2 minutes long, but well worth the watch. From the 4:40 mark onwards, it's gold. You will find yourself cheering for the buffaloes as they make the lion kings look like scared and meek deers. There is an attack scene of a few seconds, but it's not gory, so don't worry about seeing anything hard on the eyes. A must, must watch.
