Buffaloes, lions, crocodiles

The video below is one of the most dramatic I’ve seen recently. First a few buffaloes walk on the shore as a bunch of lions lie in wait for them. The lions attack. The buffaloes run. A young buffalo gets trapped and falls into the water. The lions jump on it it and try to drag it out. Two crocodiles come and try to seize the buffalo away. A tug of war happens. The lions win. They’re all back on the shore.

Then a herd of buffaloes storms into the scene.

Yes, yes, the background chatter is rather irritating, almost making me wish that the lions, crocodiles and buffaloes had teamed up against these humans. Someday…
