^^ It was actually a SUCCESSFUL rescue mission. Those buffaloes are badass. Poor lions were completely surrounded and outnumbered.
Wow, this was one awesome video. Good thing the lions won that tug of war with the crocodile or the buffalo rescue mission could have turned even more ugly. Pretty sure the whole herd would go super crazy when they wouldnt be able to find the calf.
To complete the cycle of nature, the humans should have pulled out assault rifles and slaughtered the herd of buffalo, then left their carcasses for the hyenas and vultures, or just to rot and waste. Then the humans should have invaded a nearby village and sacked the town and claimed all of their natural resources for king and country. Then immigrants should move into the village and the "new native population" will complain about them and treat them like shit. That's how nature goes.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
That was pretty jaw dropping. Poor calf though...what did it do to deserve that?...I mean other than being the slowest out of the bunch of wildebeest. Yeah, definitely a good thing that the lions won the tug-o-war or else that calf would have been done for completely. I'm pretty sure they couldn't have rescued the calf at that point. Good to see that the herd didn't just leave the calf behind either, always like seeing that in nature in the case of the video.
I'm official.
@Xanbcoo and Hikyuu: it looked like vengeance when the yaks continued to attack the lions even after the calf was in the clear.
@Zinobi: it's eat or be eaten in the jungle, and predatory animals almost always go for the weakest prey of the bunch. Explains why so many people go after Mizuchi on these forums. I'm really surprised the calf was able to walk away from that, after being bitten and dragged by lions and then crocodiles too. I'd imagine it dies later in the week of infection or internal damage.

I liked the part where the lioness got bucked into the air. Funny.
That calf wouldn't survive long, I imagine. It looked like they bit most of its throat out.
I think I know precisely what I mean
when I say it's a schpadoinkle day
