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.

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!

Wow! Isn't that against the prey/predator rules?

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.

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!"
