Baby Calf having the worst day ever.

This is one of the most amazing home video's I've ever seen. Watch the Gator show up about 3:30 in.

Didn't watch your link but I'm assuming this is the one already posted in the best of youtube thread ... "bringing a buffalo to a cat fight" (Sean2?) It is amazing though.

[Skeeter]

probably is. Never saw the video in the best of thread.

[Sean of the Thread]

yeah that's the same one.. fucking awesome I thought.

Wow, that was bloody brilliant. Thanks for posting.

I wonder if that baby calf survived -- I know it eventually got back with the pack, but it looked like it was getting ripped apart in a tug-of-war battle.

[CrystalTears]

Daaaamn! "We'll trample you!" Awesome.

I like the part where they asked the expert of the calf was going to be OK or something like that, and he was all "nah...it's brown bread" then afterwards he was like "I have never seen anything like it....remarkable"

(n.b. paraphrasing)

I had a hard time seeing any big flesh wounds on the calf... if there was any, odds that it would survive longer would be minimal.

You'd think with a gator's jaw around its leg (or its back as it looked like) and 4-5 lions pulling ... and that it was on the ground beneath the lions for 1-2 minutes... that it would had had grevious injuries at some point. Also, I would be inclined to think that the lions would be clawing/biting it to kill it instead of just pinning it down.

Though I hope whatever wounds it endured is of the variety that can heal in a short time period, and it continues on with the herd.

That was amazing. I can't believe that calf lived! That was hysterical when the one lion went flying through the air.

Awesome footage!

lol I'd rethink calling someone a "cow" after watching that. Seems it should be a compliment now. I would have thought the buffalo would've been halfway across the savanna by the time that pride of lions dragged the baby out of the water.

[Drakam]

lions grab the throat on big prey like that to suffocate it. thats their main form of attack.

Your mom's a cow.

[Whimsi]

Your mom's a cow.

She has a lot of large friends too. Don't provoke the herd.

Life is one tenacious son of a bitch. Consider the human body and its ability to remain intact through some seriously ridiculous situations. Living organisms are built to survive.

[Misun]

That was amazing, thank you youtube, I don't have to spend thousands to go see it in person.

Also, lions do grab the throat or the mouth/nasal area to suffocate the prey. Then they rip it to shreds.

This version made me laugh.

[Ignot]

lol, that one was much more enjoyable. At first I thought it was going to be some WOW audio.

[Snapp]

Awesome video.. thanks for posting it.
