  • Nagzu

    These buffaloes r really timid!.. They dont understand their strength (eventhough they tried to some extent).
    Its interesting to observe the buffalo group flocking a lonely lion but hardly anybody “truly” attacks it.

    It would have been a treat to watch the buffaloes killing out the lion!

  • Pradeep

    Yes this was a good video …but not the first one …
    If you guys have been seeing Dicovery and Animal Planet Channel you might have seen such videos of Buffalos many times. They have shown a vidoe where Lions have been killed also by baffalos. Infact wild Baffalos come in the top 5 animals from Africa in terms of dangerous anaimals …above Lions. Baffalos got provoked very fast and they kill more humans than do Lions.

  • Venkat

  • Arun Andavar

    This is an awesome video. Thanks to folks who captured it. Happy to see that the calf is been rescued. Best part is though the two buffalos ran away they did come back with mass to rescue it…They do have emotional intelligence.

    First of all thank you for this wonderful (amazing) video which shows the real team spirit and this is not just a video to enjoy, a good lesson for the human being to learn from the nature. That buffalo was attacked as he was weak, however, the stronger buffalos returned to save his life. It is the real hight of bravery.

  • sri

  • Faizal

    One has to really observe here is that how the few buffaloes initially ran and they communicated to their group and decided to come together united and teach a lesson to the lions. I think the Humans, who can speak, understand, and listen has to learn lot from these dumb animals. Atleast the people who watched this video, really understood the power of unity. Please pass on to the people who needs this most.

    Few years back, was camping in Nakuru National Park,in Kenya. on an early morning drive came across a carcass of Zebra, thinking there may be a predator about, waited to see what happened. A Leopard came on and started to feed, and then a herd of Buffaloes about 20 in number, totally anaware of the Kill and the Cat, stumbled upon the scene. All meyhem broke about , the Buffaloes charged the Leopard, and treed it! Then stayed there for more than an hour besieging the treed leopard, which was precariously balanced on a short limb, just out of reach of the great horns. Have a few photos, of not good quality as it was around 5am and the sun was against. But this clip did evoke some memories! Thanks

    The vedio not only tells us about the great strength of the buffalow but their emotions, anger and the team work.
    In fact as usual animals have much to teach us.
    THANKS FOR THE KIND GESTURE

  • zarin

    Unbelievable! Looks like a very evolved lot of buffaloes.

  • Jasmin

    The underlined message is about teamwork.
    Lions realize it and so is with buffaloes. A lonely croc couldn’t win over group of lions. A bigger group of buffaloes could shoo away the lions. Amazing. So many morals in single story. The emotional bonding with the calf, the power of buffalo who tossed away the lion… Great…Must show for all teamwork related topics.

    Admirable teamwork, of course!!! Lions winning over crocs! and Buffaloes winning over lions!!!!!!!!!
    Assess how much more strong you need to be and muster that much more… So many lions to fight 2 crocs and so many more buffaloes to fight 4 lions!! Paradigm shifts.. Laws of the jungle are also subject to change!!!!

    From the YouTube Video Awards, just FYI:

    Best eyewitness video was the epic “Battle at
    Kruger,” which has drawn more than 26 million
    views to its astonishing footage of a baby water
    buffalo surviving an attack by lions ­ and a
    crocodile! ­ in the African prairie. It was up
    against the news-making clip of a University of
    Florida student pleading “Don’t tase me, bro!” as
    police removed him from a John Kerry forum.

    I see something interestingly different in this. First of all, it looks like the lions have no power over the bison unless the bison (as a group) allow it.

    Second, it is like the bison don’t just come back, but rather as if the bison hold a congress or trial, with some defending the cause of freeing the baby, and others not so sure. Perhaps they *are* unsure of whether this is a bad thing or not. But one seems to be very much in defense of the baby, and throws off a lion. Then a bunch chase the lions, while the remaining lions chew on the baby.

    Others, then, seem to discuss what more to do, and finally prod the other lions away from the baby, freeing him to go back into the central herd.

    It makes me wonder whether the youth was being tried for arrogance as a capital crime. Or whether the bison were discussing appropriate responses to each of the other lions.

    Maybe I’m just anthropomorphizing here. But maybe other social creatures do have significantly developed social structures. Maybe courts and law are not unique to humans.

  • http://roadtokhalistan.blogspot.com/ Mai Harinder Kaur

    Michael Rudmin ji –

    What an interesting take on this! Anthropomorphising for sure; still, very, very cool. We have no idea what goes on in the minds of beings of other species. You could be right. Who knows?

    This would make a great short story with a little dialogue added. Do you write?

    “Not only is the universe queerer than you imagine. It is queerer than you CAN imagine.” JBS Haldane, Scottish mathematician. (Please! “Queer” in the sense of “strange.”)
