Survival

This is one of the most awesome videos that I have seen on youtube in recent days. Most of you may have already seen it. It was shot by a group of tourist during a Safari trip at the Kruger National Park in South Africa. The video was featured on the news and was even used by many churches for their sermons. This video alone got more than 9 million hits in just the last few days. Here is what happens:

A small family of water buffaloes are walking down to their water hole. A pack of lions lie in wait and slowly move towards the buffaloes. As they get close enough, they charge and attack the baby buffalo and drag it towards the water to possibly drown it, or maybe just to find a safe place. Suddenly two crocodiles from the water attack the baby and try to take control of it. There is a tug of war between the lions and the crocodiles. The lions win and drag the baby buffalo to the shore. Meanwhile the buffaloes have regrouped into a larger group and they come all guns blazing and attack the lions. A group attacks them while another male buffalo chases each lion away as they break off from the pack. One buffalo even throws a lion into the air with its horns. Pretty soon, the baby buffalo is reunited with its family while the lions run away.

Its amazing to what lengths they go to protect their young. Doesn't matter if its humans or animals. When a loved one is hurt or in distress, you don't think twice about putting your own life in danger.
