See It To Believe It

We recently saw an hour long documentary on this video shot by a tourist in Africa, and I could not help but be fascinated. Wanted to share it, for everyone to see. Sometimes the ferocious lion has to beat a retreat too.




And a wonderful comment left on youtube
"parit1211 iv heard this footage was taken by a tourist at the Kruger park. This amateur managed to capture a clip which many experienced photographers haven't been able to do in their careers displaying the circle of life beautifully. "

whoa!! wonderful video!! The crocodile part was totally unexpected! And imagine, the poor calf actually survived it all! I guess the buffalo that was chasing the lions away was one of the parents! This is such a wonderful video, Goof! Thanks for sharing..
P.S - I`m also wondering how the parents communicated to their clan and imagine the beauty of it all - the whole group came forth to help! Beautiful!

Piper - I am sure animals do communicate, and have their own way of doing it. What amazed me, was that the calf survived all of it.

liveonimpulse - Very true!

Sagarika - Yes maam, will do.

Deeps - I know.

Rakesh - Sab log teri tarah nahin hote. This video was posted on you tube, and gained recognition from there..... it was not sold!
And yes I loved seeing the lion being thrown in the air too!
