Battle at Kruger

Came across this news in Delhi TOI. Those of you who have not seen this video, this 8 minute clipping is the best wildlife video ever shot and that too by an amateur who just happened to be testing out his new handycam.

Taken from a vehicle on the opposite side of a watering hole, the video begins with the herd of buffalo approaching the water, unaware of the lions resting nearby. The lions charge and disperse the herd, picking off a young buffalo and unintentionally knocking it into the water while attempting to make a kill. While the lions try to drag the buffalo out of the water, it is grabbed by a pair of crocodiles, who fight for it before giving up and leaving it to the lions. The lions sit down and prepare to eat, but are quickly surrounded by the reorganized buffalo, who move in and begin charging and kicking at the lions. After a battle which includes one lion being tossed into the air, the baby buffalo (which is miraculously still alive) escapes into the herd. The emboldened buffalo chase the remainder of the lions away.
