Damn. The buffalo showed the lions who’s the real king
How? The lions had to retreat cuz they were out numbered. That buffalo stood no chance, he's lucky the WHOLE ENTIRE HERD cam back to help.
@@adhominemm meaning a pride of lion vs a herd of buffalos.. lions don’t stand a chance.
@@GeorgiaAndrea yes, but I din't say they would've won. Can you read my comment pls?
@@adhominemm echoing the original commenter up there.. the herd really showed the lions who’s the real king. The buffalos won. Plain and simple.
@@adhominemm typical Pinoy. Can’t even accept different opinions and you resort to using bad word. Go back to school dumbfuck. Or go to your mommy if everything in this world irritates you so much. 😂
I can imagine the herbivore bragging later
"Hey, Joe. I managed to escape a lion today!" "Who's Joe?" "..."
@@BagEPB I am joe thank you very much

Buffalos are like; shit! They have got John, let's team up. We have the numbers.
3:30 She was like “I’m not dealing with this shit”.
seen too many videos of gazelles getting demolished by predators, it's nice to see them prevail for once
Carnivores are like natures clean up. Nature documentaries lead us to believe they are dominant...however they lose way more than they win.. and when they win its usually against a weakling
everybody gangster until the herd shows up
the song in the background is a bop, not going to lie
such teamwork with the buffalos
Thanks and appreciation and respect
You could say that male lion's "pride" was too important to him. 🤣😁
Wow this is so cool! I didn't think the herbivores ever got away. Vegetarians for the win!
Most of the time herbivores get away, and animals on top of the food chain will always be herbivores
Most of the hunts fail more often than success
Love the narration!
Great empathy and team work by Bufalos, they are the winers of the day :-D
buffalo we had buffalo when I was a kid my father allow me to ride the back of his neck and grip tight of his horn
Hola buenas días

I'm so HYPED about the PRONGHORN
very very good video showing the contrast. carnivores lead a very very tough life aswell.
the whole buffalo gang showed up
4:00 you have nothing to worry if you got bros like those
I love the Mother gazzele vs the Baboon
Awesome video..
The lions said “these mfs ain’t playing NO games “ 😂
right!
Gazelles are one of the few creatures that lose control and still slide a hundred yards.
1:13 what the heck lmao
That's their only entertainment in life; other than that, it's getting hunted by every living thing in Africa 😅
@@carniedph you can't hunt easily tho they outrun every livin' thing.
@@sul3y outmanoeuvre to be precise
Wow. Very useful
This is a nice video... unlike other videographer... basta basta na lng hahayaan kakaiinin ang ibang hayop.
at 152 the cheeta pushed the deer into the tree! i think thats so amazing! loved the documentory
What is wrong with you!? That is nothing amazing about that!
that's not a deer that's an impala
THANKS FOR THE VIDIO ENJOY IT VERY MUCH
Buffalo are my favourite animal. True teamwork there. If only the same could be said about my workplace 😆
Me too. Since following up more on African mega fauna, I tend to like buffalo the best too.
I love the way springboks have racing stripes!
Thanks
excellent footage , astonishing video

When it ran into that tree I died 😅

Amazing
Why so many dislikes? Are people upset because there's one video on the channel of a hunt that doesn't end in morbid violence? This video actually shows nature more naturally. Large predators fail most of their hunting attempts.
Because it's got clips that don't conform to the title obviously
@@mooncalf_4534 The title says "prey ESCAPES predator"
@@flyaround312 Yeah. And it shows an instance of a Gazelle tripping and being leapt on (cutting before it dies, but it clearly died) and an instance of a gazelle running into a tree (cutting before it dies, but it clearly dies)
Hear hear.

Donkey sounds like a zebra at 2:20!!😂🐎lol
That's a Zebra, Donkey.
@@Arjun-rc1jy both zebras and donkeys sounds are similar when they feel threatened feared & attacked by something.
Wonderful
Well and nice
Berry nice animal❤
I love gazelles they run so gracefully such a fit animal i want to be that fit
that one buffalo PWNED that lioness. awesome.
Impresionante!!!
Very nice
2:18 It's very easy to underestimate how dangerous large herbivores (including zebras) can be in their own right. And I hope, for the sake of that lioness, that those hooves did not make contact with its jaws, because that is a potentially fatal injury. Having been to Kruger I can also say that buffalo or "Black death" are even more awe inspiring and intimidating in person....
Your are awesome!
Can we take a moment to listen to this beat daaaamm
"But the rest of the herd have noticed". 😁😁😁
They were like “together were strong”

I have never seen such unity in buffaloes.However at first they all thought they should try to disturb lions from their prey....

the lion holds his ground quite long vs that huge steam train haha

The lion is running for lunch but the gazelle is running for his life.
Well the lion is also running for his life, if he doesn't get anything to eat he will die.
@@carlosfandinosoto8506 If he fails 1 hunt he will not starve
Buffalos know you gotta be there for the boys
Cameraman: Am invisible suckas
Esos eran unos leones grandes. Tiene que ser algo estando tan cerca. Fue divertido de ver. Asombroso video
Buffalos are like : ooo shit here we go again
At end of this hunt cheetahbis so gassed out and punding even if it hunts a bite, it will leave the bite to survive to breathe and slow down pounding heartbeat
Good
nice one
very interesting
Life's truly a struggle
Nyc videos at all
That gazelle def broke its neck or spine against that tree got damn!
Anyone in 2020?
Meh
Meh
Anyone in 2023?

1.52 its amazing to see how the cheetah dodge that kick from the gazelle, how did it see the kick coming at him coming while moving at fast speed? truly amazing
Your mean!
Gazelle kicks aren't powerful enough to hurt a cheetah. They're too small. Larger ungulates however are much deadly.

I loved the unity of buffaloes how the group saved it's fellow member unitedly making yhe beasts run away❤❤
Only one prey escaped out of eight preys. Not all herbivores escarped, only one. In this video.
the gazelle running into the tree was awesome
How?
Impala actually.
If only humans stuck together like the Buffalo do.
Unity is strength
True and if solitary predators do not catch any thing to eat with in a certain amount of time they will become to weak to catch anything! Its tougher then most people think being a predator of the African Planes
qood job
I always hope that the prey escape, especially if they are young and juvenile animals. I understand that it is nature and nature is cruel, but I hate seeing a calf or foal getting killed. Having said that, if they never got caught, predator cubs would starve to death. In one of these documentaries, the narrator pointed out that a buffalo/wildebeest calf or a zebra foal has a much better chance of surviving it's first year than a lion cub.
I hope for the predators and their cubs to die of starvation and stop all the pain suffering slow death while being eaten alive and death ..... I hate programs to reintroduce predators in the wild or helping predators in exttintion
@@apartahotelsmadrid375 dying of starvation would be a slow painful death as well. It is just nature. Predators need to kill in order to eat and survive. It doesn't make them evil. They don't do it for fun. The only animal that is evil and that kills for fun and "sport " is human beings.
@@johncohen222 and being eaten alive from the arse all the way up the body is a terrible death..... Predators can die and ecosystem will adjust without any problem as it always does....people who said the contrary are big lier.....we have million of examples where entere population of a specific animal have been exterminated and the nature adjusted without the end of the world...( For example in the mountains of Italy wolves has been exterminated completely and nothing has changed ....Now the stupid men are trying to reintroduce woolves in the mountains ...I m really against this project... At the moment they have reintroduced about 1500 wolves.. why they reintroduce only to create pain slow death ( Woolves eat animals alive and slowly) and suffering) Think about ; the life of a lion and the life of a zebra have the same meaning which LIVE. The lion to survive has to eat the zebra so we loose 1 life (the life of a zebra in this case) ...if the lion doesn't kill the zebra we loose the life of a lion..... However the lion leaves around 20 years and it will kill around 1000 animals so better to lose the life of a lion from starvation and save 1000 lives more ...DONT YOU THINK? And this without considering that the prey wil suffer terrible slow death without really doing nothing wrong ....people always side with the predators because people are bloodthirsty sadistic and disgusting
@@johncohen222 u mustve never heard of an orca lol they have no mercy for no reason
@@apartahotelsmadrid375 predators are the ones keeping the worlds ecosystems in balance. What you stated as your "evidence" that predators can go extinct and the ecosystem will just rebalance and adapt, is wrong, if all predators go extinct, then those ecosystems they maintain will fall, and then you'll see the actual repercussions. It's a domino effect, without predators, prey over-populates, which means different species will compete for the same type of plants, Which will cause many types of foliage/trees to become scarce, or simply being wiped out. Now think of what relies on those trees, small mammals, insects, birds, all of which also play a huge role in the ecosystem, insects now have less food sources, if any, and now are scarce, birds now also have much less food, especially for seed-eating/insectivore birds, which rely on the trees/foliage for not only food, but to create nests/roosts, which leads to the fall of this once balanced ecosystem, all of this damage because of the loss of its predators. Plus predators don't kill for sport, a single kill could last them weeks, and a larger one could last them a month, during that time they won't hunt, due to them already having plenty of food, predators may also kill multiple animals, but that also has reasons, like practice for younger animals, or to cache food for later, so they don't have to expend energy after the first kill is gone. So your estimate of around 1000 prey items being killed in a single predators lifetime, is a bit improbable. Not to mention predators fail hunts more often than they succeed, I could go on and on about this, but I'll end it here. The Yellowstone wolf story is a much more detailed example than what I provided, so go read that.
Good evening
Remember, they're called "herbivores" and not "easy meal".
Excellent video with commentary by Sir David Attenborough!!
This is the gold standard.
The king of forest is 🦁
Mithun Yadav yea but honestly ppl dont realize that they fail to catch their prey most of the times making the PREY THE REAL mvps
GANG GANG!!!
