In the UK we’re immensely fortunate to have i) the BBC, ii) Sir David Attenborough (the second greatest living Englishman), and iii) some of the best wildlife documentary teams in the world. Some of the footage I have seen (and I’m sure we all have) over the years has been by turns heartwarming, awe-inspiring, downright creepy, occasionally bloodthirsty, but always always interesting.
See here, then, a recently captured piece of footage that is flying round the internet right now depicting a set-to between a pride of lions, a herd of buffalo, and a pair of opportunistic crocodiles. It does fall slightly into the bloodthirsty category, but then again, that is nature. What we have here is some South African safari guides showing some camcorder-toting American tourists around a safari park, and what you hear is their own commentary live as it happens.

Amazing vid!
Awesome.
That was amazing!! Nature at it’s best. F the lions, I’m rooting for buffalos from now on.
Yay! Go buffalo!
I’ve always felt that lions were the workshy, aggressive chavs of the animal kingdom, so it’s nice to see the veldt being cleaned up by the public-spirited buffalo
BAD buffalo! Stealing meat from the cute pussy cats!
