Battle at Kruger

My folks turned me on to this amazing video of a wildlife brawl at Kruger National Park in South Africa. An edited version of it has shown up on TV, but I think it's fun to watch the whole thing as it unfolds complete with exhilarated commentary from the cameraman/others watching from the safari truck.

It's 8 minutes, but totally worth it. A bunch of water buffaloes take on crocodiles and lions to get their baby buffalo back. I particularly love the way one buffaloes launches a lion into the air. Have a look:

My mom was talking about this video a few weeks ago, but I didn't watch it until you posted it. :)
