Wild lions swim in a hunt for Buffalo - Wild Africa - BBC

[anikageilee]

3:11 onwards: keep hanging there, buddy.

[yagakoro1337]

the more i watch this the more I'm seeing the lions do some deliberate judo on these buffalo, these cats don't screw around!

[sangolt88]

I love the fake sounds lol

[TheWitchdoctr]

Does anyone know why cats can't swim? Maybe they don't know how? Why can dogs swim instinctively, but cats can't? It's weird. Do cats just not like it? But they can swim if they have to, right?

[edilsoncr1]

@TheWitchdoctr Yes, correct. It is much more of a ethological matter: some breeds of cat enjoy swimming, others don't. Because the ones that do enjoy it are much rarer than the ones that do not, we get this impression that they can't or dislike it as a species.

[fernandesfran]

@2:41 we can see that one of the buffalo is standing still and staring in the opposite direction...

[Molaz0]

1:12 that's what I do before I get Into the water x)

[Lovebug1579]

I feel bad for the animals that killed but at the same time the lions need to eat:/

[iTaurusBabe]

it looks like the last buffalo at the end said: "SHIT!"

[coolboystouse]

little tip click the advert 4-5 times you can skip it and dont have to watch it

[mustang4sho]

Im so sick of these fkin codes I have to enter to leave a fkin comment..Im not a bot youtube. eat a dick and die..for fuck sake!!

[mustang4sho]

lioness are amazing

[HeartedAngel27]

omg so sad. the buffalo being attacked had only one horn, thats why he's weak. if he had two, he would have smashed into the bitch!

[seanthamaster]

@HeartedAngel27 Lions have been around for a very long time, i think by now they know how to handle a 2 horned buffalo. Derp.

[MarkzQUAliTY]

i'll travel to Africa to make videos about the animals.

[livismilesful]

lions arnt scared of taking down a buffalo with sharp horns, but they are terrified of water ?? thats messed up...

[livismilesful]

0:42 he stacked it

[AnneFrankExplosion]

Sweet this is the first video that a "dam Nature you scary" comment isnt on top

[avelino808]

legal

[buddhabassist]

It's amazing how they can always pick out the sick or weak like that identification game on the wii.

[samarsuni]

good

[uqiimu]

This documentary, although good, is showing clips of lions hunting from Northern Tanzania, in Ngorongoro Crater Conservation area.

[Karpinski29]

2:40 that one buffalo is just like "BRING IT PUSSYS!"

[XUltra00]

Good example of Natural selection: survival of the fittest.

[cuccos2002]

anyone knows what is the group that plays

[joshrea08]

1: 27 atam! ATAM!!! the other lion said! LoL!

[flyboys221]

fef



[eftultima]

buffalo in the back move faster FASTER

[thephenon724]

awesome. swimming lions!

[bratvishal]

wow, Lions when they select a target they dont swerve a single inch away from it.

pure concentration, totally in the moment for the kill. ....result- goal/objective achieved

[Darisha123]

that must hurt like hell being eaten alive like that :S

[Axl207]

just once i want the buffalo to win

[reno94587]

@Axl207 - They did once. One lion got separated and the hurd surrounded it and it was stuck in a dry riverbed and they kept charging it against the riverbank wall. One buffalo hit it so high in the air, it was able to run off after it landed. They got at least 5 charges in.

[crazysoccerman14]

I have a feeling BBC doesn't show the gory part- AKA when the lion bites into the buffalo's jugular.

[TreyRoque]

@crazysoccerman14 Worse than that. Lions asphyxiate their prey by crushing the windpipe - which is what we see at the end.

[crazysoccerman14]

Wow... just... wow.

[crazysoccerman14]

0:38

Look at them jump! Makes sense why there are no fat lions!

[ruudymaster]

look hawmany buffalo vs 5 lions

[leonardomoses]

i always wondered why animals like this have not thought:

"hey, we are pretty big fucking animals and there is a shit load of us, lets all run at the lions and see what happens?"

[beege19]

that's why the lions pick the weaker outsiders and slowpokes of the pack rather than going after any they can.

[panzerung45]

because they are animals and not humans.

[wilsonhkong]

@leonardomoses

That's why they are animals and we are humans.. Our thinking is different.. ^^

[leonardomoses]

@wilsonhkong

you have to remember that we are animals aswell !

and this same thing happens in our societies, when 2 police attack a group of guys most of them stand there and let people get arrested, when all it would take is for the group to easily over power the 2 police officers !

[machaan83]

@leonardomoses thats the beauty of evolution..not one animal is given all the power and intelligence..

[ReticentRM]

@leonardomoses We have more hormones, and a bigger brain, are you stupid? Or do you not know that? That's why animals don't think the way we do, dumb ass.

[CREATIONISM123]

@leonardomoses They occasionally do, check out 'Battle at Kruger', I think you will be pretty amazed...

[ETF]

@leonardomoses

for the same reason a guy with a gun can hold hostage a group of people. Sure if we all run towards him we can take him out but whos the one to make the first move and die?

[lescherl]

@ETF i doubt that lion has a gun....

[lemmmy12]

@lescherl No, it has worse. A gun can take you out in 2 seconds. It has stregnth, fortitute and sheer aggression, claws that they sharpen reguarly, long insosior teeth... Plus it has it's whole family equally as pissed. I'd rather ger shot lol.

[timwalmsley87]

@lescherl maybe a knife?

[Bru2712]

@lescherl his fangs are enough to kill and scare

[lemmmy12]

@ETF Excellent!!

[NattN2718]

@ETF Unlike a person being held hostage, a buffalo doesn't have to be the first to move to put its life in jeopardy, its life is in jeopardy regardless, so the buffalo have nothing lose and all to gain. The person can still make it out alive as long as s/he obeys the guy with a gun. Plus, the guy with a gun doesn't come back to the group of hostage and randomly shoot one of them every now and then, unlike the lion.

[tohyonghan1]

@NattN2718

Yes!!!!!

[tohyonghan1]

Yes....

[rahulteam16]

@ETF too good..

[sangwria]

@ETF Bullshit, when a small group of 5 buffalos finds a lion pride, they kill all the cubs who can't run away, it takes the whole pride to take a buffalo down, they have plenty of time to react, it's not like lions had guns

[SkrPchr3]

@ETF

But it takes a bunch of lions piling onto a single buffalo, dragging it to the ground, and probably a good 10-20 minutes to finally make the kill. How can they do that when there are 100 buffalos charging? It's not as if the buffalos at the front of the line will suddenly drop dead the moment they contact the lions.

In the case of a gunman holding hostages, he can kill anyone instantly. He doesn't have to wrestle the hostages one by one and choke them for 10 minutes.

[eldomi718]

@SkrPchr3

this is the reason why buffaloes are prey and lions are predators lol. this animals are here to be eaten, havent you'll notice that even though they are prey animals they are not extinct...

[ankushzap]

@SkrPchr3 u r right dude but if these beasts think like this, they wont be what they are,,,they dont even know abt guns and all such calculations u did..they only hav experience of these wild big cats which killed lots of their own kind..their biggest fear are these big cats nothing else! ETF example is not the exact but relative one.

[tohyonghan1]

@SkrPchr3

It is not that these buffalos are stupid; they have an innate fear of lions which have killed many of their kind. Therefore, they react instinctively by running away....

[webmail111]

@ETF not quite. a guy with a gun will most definitely take out one. the "big fucking animals" wouldn't lose anyone.

[shagreezz3]

@ETF I liked that comment, but after thinking about it, im sorry, but that is not a good comparison, because the lion does not have a weapon, besides physical ones, so I guess it would be more like, A group of boxers or UFC fighters holding a bunch of teenage kids hostage....even then its not too good of a comparison, only because these animals are already afraid and also cant really think the situation out like that, but if they did turn around, a few would get injured but the lions would...

[shagreezz3]

@shagreezz3 .....the lions would back off, ive seen this happen before

[SuperArslanArshad]

@ETF well said

[styckxx4]

@leonardomoses thats exactly what most of this big animals think more especially buffalos,elephants and elands it just depends and who gives up first and who is more aggresive in the pursuit..for both parties its a matter of life and death

[trossachs2003]

@leonardomoses

They do. Elephants do and African Buffalo do this. I like Buffalo - they seek and destroy baby lions. They must think 'Ill get you before you can get me'. I like vindictiveness in an animal.

[cyrax752]

@leonardomoses dam exactly what i always think

[pagitos112]

@leonardomoses because they don't wanna die!

[omnivorous65]

@leonardomoses Evolution had millions of years to work out the optimal strategy to deal with a predator. It seems running away turned out to be the best one.

[annaiahramesh]

@omnivorous65 whether evolution is the outcome of interaction process of chance factors(gene constellations) or simply due to the driving force of ill stabilized physical ecosystem?

[pimple22]

@leonardomoses Brilliant my thoughts entirely, they do turn some times, but why don't they do it straight away, that's only when they are in big numbers, well done to you.

[johniwuji]

@leonardomoses animal is animal they dont reason like us

[Bloodgod40]

@leonardomoses

That's why they're called animals, and not humans. You're thinking logically, which is what defines humans from animals - they don't think logically.

[nazirdjon]

@leonardomoses watch "battle at krugger" and see how buffalos can cooperate

[shagreezz3]

@leonardomoses They dont have frontal lobes like ours :)

[japoyabaday]

the lion is like "water, if only i could eat you!"

LOL

[30percentplusreturns]

Its so funny. Cats hate getting wet yet they will eat out any animals insides with no problem.

[skaterDave122]

lmao at 1:42

[superflypandaguy]

some nice little kittens there

here kitty kittyyy

[kimposibl]

damn nature, you scary!

[Ibanezer21]

I'm gunna credit this as the best comment i've ever seen in my whole entire life.

[iCaughtDaCLAP]

damn id hate to be da one in da back lol

[ravencaww]

That was beautiful... look at the gracefulness of the lion's run.

[CatlikeMeathead]

mmmm kfc

[Nuanceqwest]

Talk about going for the jugular.

Anyone for a Buffalo Burger?

[Nuanceqwest]

there is strength in numbers

[b11k22]

y dont the buffalos fight bak? they outnumba the lions easily!

[AleXAleXAleXH]

'cuz animals are stupid.

[ProtoisRob]

Why didn't the lions just shoot them? Surely it isn't too hard to get guns in their area.

[bobbykoedkotto]

not funny

[HJManson]

those lions are barely faster than the buffalos

[JB99LCFC]

Wheres the crocs attacking both sets???

[RodeoReject]

dat buffalo got sat!

[RifledBarrel]

I hate lions..they are always killing other animals...all lions should be shot

[Hellboy132]

u should do it urself then

[EliteGi]

That's kinda the deal. They wouldn't be lions if they went around chasing the other animals, in an attempt to groom them

[09hysteria]

that's how they survive dickhead.

[Vickydragon]

i dont like lions either but i wouldnt want them shot, they kill other animals for food, its their way of life, killing them wont change that

[HJManson]

it's called the circle of life you tree hugging prick

[HJManson]

circle of life? tree-hugging douchebag

[1ockedand1oaded]

thats natural selection for you (if you dont like it pull your genitals out)

[kyleB061]

how hypercritical do you sound there always KILLING other animals buh you wanna shoot all the animals you dopy cunt , go to the local supermarket what do i find , ham , sausage , chicken , fish, lamb, you name it so stfu

[b11k22]

you say they r always kiling animals....but so r we....so shud we be shot too?

[TappetAndDiana]

Lions are awsome but cheetahs much better i think cheetah my fave animal:)

[finnwesjohn]

im not a hundred percent positive on this but house cats, which evolved from the african plains and other warm areas, have a natural fear of water because the water in those areas are full of bacterias and infections. lions have to watch out for that water too. tigers come from mountain fed water near the Himalayas which doesnt carry diseases, so tigers are okay with water.......

[kzam90]

i think your thinking of house cat not liking water.

Wild cats like tigers love to swim.

[siyengar9821]

Beast

[LordAfwa]

Of course it makes sense that they can, but I have never thought of lions swimming. They didn't like it though. :-)
