Triumph of the herbivores - Life of Mammals - BBC

[HectorL360]

We are part of nature, therefore we are scary, scarier i would say.

[kerriemercuri]

[SophieGrange35]

2:30- The mother of Thompson's gazelle rescued their calf

[SophieGrange35]

1:49 - This is not funny idiots! The impala (antelope) have suffered badly after he fell into a tree, and ran for a certain speed over 60 km / h, so curious how you would you just ran and ran into a tree, I wish you this with all my heart! Idiots!

[SophieGrange35]

Zebra is kill lion!

[amorph2011]

cool, i didn't know buffalos fights back

[Ineedthat06]

that zebra gave that lion a super kick

[xLucasGS]

This was a triumph, i'm making a note here: HUGE SUCCESS.

[richd9]

Lion 1: Hey?!

Lion 2: Hmmm?

Lion 1: wheres the rest of the herd?

*both look up

Buffalo herb: o_o o_o o_o o_o

[9raymondo9]

cool! even vegetarians can kick butts! :D

[WootAnimefan]

1:53 Epic Fail

[DukeofUSA]

1:53

XD

3:28

O-O

[DukeofUSA]

1:53

XD

[DateRapeisOK]

"I'm fit, so save your energy and pick on someone weaker!"

[kabayegainsaf]

i like herbivores

[tami32961]

1:56,,, that gazelle sonny bono'd that tree that had to hurt

[zim7789]

that animal that was being chased by the cheetah fell? ouch

[JennyWrine19]

excellent footage , astonishing video

[NYer79]

yes, David Attenborough is perfect for narrating nature shows. The gazelles' high sprints are amazing. Excellent footage!

[mobydick789]

oh my god im high as fuck why am i watching this

[KitsuneCloudGoddess]

3:36 Just like humans. Girl's willing to admit she can't do it, boy won't back down without a fight

[DateRapeisOK]

@KitsuneCloudGoddess Not really. Genders don't necessarily abide by that, some girls CAN fight for what they want, so don't be so quick to judge.

[KitsuneCloudGoddess]

@DateRapeisOK Honey I know girls can fight. I personally will kick someone's ass if they mess with me too much. I meant that girls are willing to admit if there's something they can't do, where as most- not all, MOST- guys will try to be big and tough whether they can pull it off or not. I don't judge, maybe you should try to understand what someone says before criticizing them

[DateRapeisOK]

@KitsuneCloudGoddess I didn't critisise you, I simply stated that what you said was not necessarily true. And don't refer to me as "honey".

[KitsuneCloudGoddess]

@DateRapeisOK That's why I said MOST. And I refer to pretty much everyone as 'honey'

[DateRapeisOK]

@KitsuneCloudGoddess Then I don't have a problem here. Bye..

[TheOtherLioyd]

@KitsuneCloudGoddess The stakes are higher than that. Males confront each other all the time over stuff, so displaying one's strength is pretty much everything a male lion lives for. Hunting is done by the females.

[caohanlu]

What graceful strength! Wish we could move like these majestic herbivores.

But how on earth do they get these great, big, powerful muscles by just eating grass and grains???

[penguinskywalker]

@caohanlu Because the need for much protein for building muscle is a myth. You know how it is - tell a lie enough times and it becomes truth.

[lMitan]

watch at 1:53 LOL !

[HeartOfCheetahs]

The little thomson's gazelle in 1:56 had no chance to escape.

[Feanorielle]

2:48 - 4:04 That's what I love about Cape Buffaloes. Unlike most other herd herbivores, they stick together and come back to defend each other.

[Hullkr1987]

2.30 - 2.48 for some reason i love this part, the mother is just so determined to drive the monkey away. i think its because she has small horns but she wont back down...

[sangwria]

1:52

[lugia3]

Baboon got pwned.

[chenjunyang]

wow, cant believe that gazelle still managed to get up at 2:11 and keep running after all those flips :S

[4017jman2]

okay not trying to be mean to David but did any one here him say if caugh un AWERES?

[RichCwm]

Male lions are fucking strong, dubdueing buffalo on his own

[dragonorf]

Just think, WE EAT THESE GUYS!

well i do anyway ;O

[dragonorf]

Just think, WE EAT THESE GUYS!

[nellie2581]

Great!

[equallyeasilyfuqyou]

that one buffalo PWNED that lioness. awesome.

[ethebigyin]

David Attenborough is a LEGEND!

[jenn182]

a wolf can bring down a bison?!

[equallyeasilyfuqyou]

@jenn182 wolfs hunt in packs. i don't know about just one though.

[The505Guys]

DAMN NATURE, YOU SCARY!!!

[superdave31]

that one animal is sick - 2nd fastest sprinter and the best at long distance? thats like having someon come 2nd to usain bolt and then win the marathon

[93stephenbarr]

i reckon a lot of the prey is actually stronger than the predator. its just they cant fight back so they lose :( i wanna see a video of a zebra eating a lion :D

[kitkatklan1]

It ran into a tree. I dont know whether to laugh or to cry

[TZM121]

@kitkatklan1 i did both i cry because i was laughing so much

[xzellos]

@kitkatklan1

oh god that's the highlight..well at least to me..

i was laughing so much i barely breath...

[TheDarklord0211]

3:10 ... AWWWKKEERRDDDD!!

[caterluna223]

friggen hell, the height of them jumps

[balamorylol]

stupid gazelle needs 2 look where hes going

[superdave31]

you don wana fuck with a mother animal they will fght to the death rto defend their young

[TheDarklord0211]

@superdave31 you'r grammer is shit! also i beleave HUMANS do this too!

[superdave31]

@TheDarklord0211 uhmm you do realise in your post saying my grammer is shit you made a spelling mistake yourself? lol. And dont make out it was on purpose!

[chenjunyang]

@superdave31 lmao!

[Sniperkid10]

I wouldn't mess with a zebra...

[Amelliea]

i didn't know baboon would eat a baby gazelle! o.o

[Mermaid1962]

I half-expected those buffalo to start exchanging high-fives at the end. Didn't know that herbivores could gang up like that. Quite a posse!

[LovelyRose305]

Very wonderful

[buffytariq]

god i hate Babboons

[Obsidian1392]

Wow this is so cool! I didn't think the herbivores ever got away.

Vegetarians for the win!

[snim2009]

OMG LIFE OF MAMMELS NEVER BEFORE SEEN EPO!!!!! >> :O

youtube.com/watch?v=AUkKbCg7aa­k

[nelsonsilk]

badass

[asdahjby]

yawns

[flashash2k9]

did you know its technically a human should be able to run faster than the african cheater.

[Obsidian1392]

@flashash2k9 how?

[TheBaziiN]

@flashash2k9 what do u mean by that?

[ErichoTTA]

Apes and gazelle?

[AndJorD]

increible video, increible es fascinante ver como los animales se defienden viven y SIENTEN. =D

[talzmistle]

David Attenborough makes the best wildlife series's ever - best footage, best commentary, best everything. I've got all his DVDs. ^_^

[XoanPablo]

awesome images, good series and memories!

[fitobcnfito]

Great empathy and team work by Bufalos, they are the winers of the day :-D

[ORACLE063]

that vid got my primal side in an uproar!! Bravo!!

[shflbm]

amazing at 2:03. Never thought that would have happened

[siyengar9821]

Sir Attenborough is the master of narrating such videos and our generation owes much to him for his passion for wildlife and educating us through his vast experience of the natural world. Like all BBC channels, this channel always adds great videos but the sad part is that it also attracts imbeciles who post abhorrent and meaningless comments.

[PunanyFingerz]

LOL

[ChoChoquota]

awesome!!

[h2oACE13]

the gazelle running into the tree was awesome

[IAmTheCthulhu]

@h2oACE13 that probably hurt. you wouldn't live through it.

[zaracake]

the lion holds his ground quite long vs that huge steam train haha

[redpillow100]

natural .apart from man,

[HelpForPS3]

Nice teamwork at the end :)

[PunanyFingerz]

I wish we could genetically engineer carnivores to be herbivores.

[DackIsBack]

@PunanyFingerz That's possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard...

Tell it to any biologist and they will laugh in your face.

[vovo970]

@PunanyFingerz Why would you want to do that?

Moron.

[DackIsBack]

@PunanyFingerz Please allow me to elaborate....

There is this process called Natural Selection, Which selects stronger, healthier animals over the weak.

This process began over 3 Billion years ago and is what lead to the diversity of life on this planet.

If you use modern science to remove any of these factors there Will be catastrophic results destroying this planets Eco system as we know it.

GM crops are a big enough problem and they are simple plants, If you fuck with more complex life...

[Satyr000]

@PunanyFingerz The advances in medical science over the centuries and the modernization of most countries has brought Natural Selection when it comes to humans almost to a stand still. Over population is a problem thats only going to get worse and we are bound to run out of room on this planet and resources we need to sustain humanity. Turn carnivores intro herbivores and you will pretty much accelerate the destruction of the planet.

[Satyr000]

@PunanyFingerz Think of it this way. A lot of people hate spiders and would like to see them all killed. Spiders eat every thing from mice to grasshoppers. Kill off all the spiders in the world and you would see the numbers mice and grasshoppers sky rocket. The same thing would happen to the population of every herbivore explode if you where to make all the carnivores into herbivores.

[truvelocity]

@PunanyFingerz Why? There is a balance that must be preserved or life on Earth would go out of balance. We humans who, some of us adapted to vegan life style, can cope and those who genetically have not, must supplement if they choose to be vegan. But, animals, must keep the biomass circulating on a planet in which, without predators, would cause starvation, even for vegetarians and mass extinction.

[SuperBirdgirl]

@PunanyFingerz if it means anything i liked your comment :o) though i would rather be killed and eaten by a carnivore than languish sick or wounded for days, months or years in a hospital and eventually die lol

as for your username, that's another story lol

[AttaKru]

more entertaining than a stupid action movie's car chasing

[Sock1122]

Great video, i normally prefer watching how predators manage to capture their prey but watching the prey out maneouver the predators was equally as cool
