Three-way fight between a herd of Cape buffalo, several lions, and two crocodiles. 8.5 minutes long, but worth watching.

It shows actual wild animals engaging in actual hunting and fighting behavior, so if that sort of things throws you off, don't watch.

I was like "Wow. Herd behavior becomes tactics!" I want to know how the bull managed to go get the herd - my thought is that maybe he's the lead bull anyway (well, he was in front of the herd to start with), so they naturally followed him.

I knew that lions kill by suffocation, but didn't realize how long it took - I'd figured by the time the croc attack was over, the calf was pretty much dead.
