Battle at Kruger
 
I just was browsing You Tube and saw a highly viewed clip called Battle at Kruger. I suppose with all the computer technology it could have been created but looks pretty real. I am just not sure if it is an old clip and something you have all seen but it shows a herd of buffalo approach some crouching lions, the lions bring down a calf near the water, a croc tries to grab the calf, then the herd comes back to free the calf. I would not believe it if I did not see it.

No tricks there. Thats Africa at its best.

I saw the same video some weeks ago.
I was also very impressed by the other wideo where a cheetah jumps on an open car among petrified and astonished tourists during a game drive. The cat looks in a very good mood and nothing bad happens to people.
I, too, would have never believed it if not seen !!

Sorry for pulling up the old thread, we went on a tour of Safari West in Santa Rosa, CA, it was great by the way, and the tour guide mentioned this YouTube clip.

Amazing taping, worth of watching it again, you think?

JeorgiaGirl, I saw it, still can't believe how lucky that calf is!

jgoebel, I meant to post the same thing. I saw a commercial for it a few days ago. My DVR doesn't go that far into the future and I want to make sure I don't miss it.
