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 just shocked. It sounded like no one has ever watched the Discovery Channel before.

People don't like being confronted with the reality that animals hunt and kill each other, and it's often not a nice, quick, clean kill. I grew up in Tanzania, so it was part of my life from the start. I do remember a classmate in fifth grade who asked me, upon hearing that I lived in the Serengeti National Park, how they fed the animals. Er, they EAT EACH OTHER.

Yeah I know, but the youtube information says they were on a safari so I figured these people had paid to go see the animals and stuff. It just sounds like they didn't know anything about animals at all. I actually felt pretty bad for the lions as I wouldn't be surprised if that calf dropped dead later. He got bit by how many different animals? I don't think he is going to walk away without some kind of infection.

...Are you serious? How they feed the animals?

Honey, it's the food chain calling. It wants to have a word with you.
