Life can be strange at times...

This video is already older, but if you don't know it, keep watching it despite the poor quality. I never have seen an animal scene like this. It ends quite different than what you initially may have imagined

Man, that video has it all! When it first started, and the lions were in the water, I was thinking: "They are lucky a croc doesn't attack."
Then, wham-o .

The National Geographic Channel recently had a documentary about that video. I didn't watch it, though. I have seen the Battle At Kruger before and it is amazing.

I had seen this before but cut down for TV. Full length is brilliant, amazing standoffs when the cavalry turned up. Looked a lot like humans squaring up to each other in riots, except of course they're just food and prey:hmm:

I wonder what the mommy water buffalo said to the herd to get them riled enough to go after a gang of lioness's? Never underestimate the power of a mother.
