If you live in Australia you probably caught this video on Channel Nine's 'i-caught' show which premiered here tonight. It's an American show (or at least the host is American) and 'Battle at Kruger' was the very first video they showed.
As far as wildlife videos go this is the most amazing thing I've ever seen. This has got everything, water buffalo, lions and a crocodile all battling it out over a baby buffalo that could well be both the luckiest and unluckiest offspring on the planet.
The lesson here is that even the kings (or in this case queens) of the jungle shouldn't get between a mother water buffalo and its baby.
Watch the video and be amazed.
B efore James Gunn's Superman Movie was released there was a whole rumor going around that the movie would feature monkeys on computers trolling Superman's social media, sparking much outrage. #supersh*t. I didn't know this was even a thing until just prior to writing this article. I did a search to see if anyone had posted a clip of the monkeys scene from the movie and got pages of discourse featuring videos and articles prior to the film. Most of it from Gunn detractors (let's say) seeing it as some kind of childish swipe at them... well not them specifically but, you know, those other people who have every right to hate on anything sight unseen. Anyway, I'm not going to give even one such example a link or air because it's kind of sad watching someone devote so much commentary to a throw away gag that is absolutely a nod to James Gunn's Superman trolls. The whole reason this post exists, is to say I loved the joke, because fourteen years ago, and I...
Awesome! Just shows how the herd can win if they all gang up! I would have thought that young one would have been too badly injured, what with the croc and the three lions1 It looked OK though.
ReplyDeleteTook that buffalo quite awhile to get back with the herd. That last lion was game - you would have thought it would have given up sooner!
I went to look in my TV paper when you said this program had been on, as hadn't seen it.
ReplyDeleteI saw it was indeed on, but as far as I know, there have been no promos for it, not even in my Sunday Times TV mag, so that's why I missed it. Will have a look next time, or tape it if it clashes with something, to see what it is.
