When Animals attack and defend

Post by Damelon »

Here's an interesting link to an article in Time, about a You Tube video of Lions going after a Cape Buffalo calf. Crocs are involved as well. The calf is rescued by the herd from the lions in the end. Fascinating.

Any jackass can kick down a barn, but it takes a good carpenter to build one.

That is brilliant.
But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.


Full of the heavens and time.

That's why I don't eat meat. I don't want my dinner's parent's (and extended family) trying to gore me while I'm eating! :P
It'd take you a long time to blow up or shoot all the sheep in this country, but one diseased banana...could kill 'em all.

I didn't even know sheep ate bananas.

I can't help but think of this video when I saw the topic:

Amazing. I think the croc had the baby by the tail not the legs, which is why it finely lost the grip. Good play-by-play and commentary by the various tourists.

Cowboy: Friend? Hell, I got lots of friends.

Yeah, this video is so cool - I love the charge against the lions - it's as if the buffalo are saying "we're mad as hell, and we're not going to take it anymore!"
