2 Buffalo Calves Try Fighting off Wild Dogs
A pack of wild dogs manages to catch 2 calves from a stampeding herd of buffaloes, and a battle for survival ensues. 😳
42-Year-old safari guide Sebastian Sakala witnessed this unbelievable moment in the Lower Zambezi National Park and shared the story with LatestSightings.com: Send in your wildlife video here and earn money: www.latestsightings.com/partn...
"We were on safari and spotted a pack of wild dogs hunting impala. Successfully having made a kill and they devoured their meal then they relaxed for a bit. They then set their eyes on a herd of buffalo, and the hunt was on again! They targeted a young calf, and as wild dogs do, started preying on their victim while it was still fighting for its life."
"The chase was amazing! Quite rare, as this was only my second in my career."
"This was only my second time witnessing wild dogs hunting buffaloes. The wild dogs had managed to kill 2 buffalo calves. They proceeded to kill one after another. It's becoming quite a habit for wild dogs to hunt buffalo nowadays."
"My advice would be to always give animals space - in this case, give the dogs their space to hunt."

What must of been super painful was the way they grab the nose and pull on it like a chew toy. The nose is very sensitive so the pain must of been unbearable
The adrenaline and shock would take away a lot of the pain
@@definitelynotatroll246 i always tell myself that and hope to gawd that's always the case. Its unbearable to think otherwise 😔
U know what the most painful thing is Who is making videos… they don’t have emotions 😢
One of the most painful thing is also trying to understand your comment. "must of been, What is that?" = Must have been.
@@gowharahmadnaik what and try to save the 🐃? Who's gonna feed the dogs and their families? You?
I read that african wild dogs have the highest hunting success rates of all the super predators - I can believe it! Their coordination and teamwork is incredible!
They always go for the young, old or weak
Them and hyenas are the top as far as success rate.
Let's see how long. They're listed as endangered, right?
@@BoskiM oh they get a good share of prime beef too.
Not true. We Humans are the Super Predators, but I bet you have never been a hunter and that is okay. Didn't you know that were futile to live at all costs?
These dogs are so good at what they do that vultures showed up even before their victim died.
I love how they show up pretending to be curious spectators, as if the dogs don't know what's going on. There's usually a few storks, a couple of jackals, and a hyena as well. All of them trying to go unnoticed by blending in with the surroundings.
They aren’t good at all. Look at them! Wildly inefficient. It’s that there are 20.
@@amazingsupergirl7125 Let me see you take down a guinea fowl, talk more of a 50kg calf in the hot sun.
@@amazingsupergirl7125 Are you sure you have a decent understanding of word "efficiency?" Half of the dogs are resting and conserving energy until it's time to eat, and according to the description, two calves were brought down without losing a single dog.
@@amazingsupergirl7125 And there are even more buffalo than that. The difference is one of these species knows how to coordinate as a team and the other doesn't.
After watching this video, I'm feeling that how lucky we are.. every creature is struggling so much for their survival....
Indeed humans are special. We were granted things what no other beings were granted.
The benefits of sticking together long enough to become civilized.
@@nofeah89 well thousands of people are tortured to death every day, by the same civilized human beings, in different parts of the world. Chopping alive person's head, arms, legs off today and for thousands years ago. Burning alive. You wished you were born an impana and eaten alive. Still for this day. Others are lucky to have a safe and good life
If i was allowed to choose Wish i was a crow than a human.
@@dayner989bit random lol why a crow I’m sure they get eaten by eagles n stuff
Death by wild dogs is probably even worse than death by hyenas, both of them start eating you while your still alive but I feel like hyenas probably kill their prey faster due to their bite force?
It does seem like getting opened up by small scissors or piranhas.
They target the balls first cause it’s the easiest access to your guts😧
@@definitelynotatroll246 Damn ....🍒
Hyena clans have been filmed turning an adult Wildebeest into a bloodstain on the grass in 8 minutes
All dog species eat their prey alive.
I've always found it odd that #1- Buffaloes never kick predators with their hind legs like zebras do, and #2- Despite having wicked-looking tusks, warthogs are easily subdued by a variety of predators.
They are dumb animals. Prey animals survive through numbers, not brains.
I'd figure Buffalos don't kick with their hind legs since it requires way more effort to get like 400 lbs into the air instead of 200 to kick out, and that warthogs can only use their tusks if something's Infront of them or to the sides
They're far too bulky and heavy to buck like zebras or even domesticated cattle.
On the warthog subject, they actually don't have a bad thing going. There is only one species that can "easily" kill adult warthogs single-handedly, which is the lion. Leopards need to be smart about it, while hyenas and wild dogs usually have to resort to team effort. Meanwhile every other predator leaves them alone. In the end adults are only bothered by 4 predators across their entire range, most of which prioritize other prey.
watch the tier zoo video on horses about that kicking point
If buffalo would just stick together and defend each other they would be unstoppable...
I thought the same when I was younger then I realize it cost energy so fighting to defend a target for a predator may mean that you get tired and be another prey. I bet they fight a lil and then let the targeted one to fight alone if it can
There's a reason they're prey animals. They're going to panic from the noise, the fast darting in and out, and of course the pain they feel from being bitten from random directions.
They lack the ability to think critically. That’s why humans are on top of the food chain.
If all wildebeest stuck together and weren't literally insane and suicidal, they could potentially take the entire African continent. They could chase humans out of Africa, Asia, and Europe.
If the buffalo banded together and put up a fight..it would look like a herd of elephants
This world is cruel no matter how hard you look at it 😢😢😢😢
kzhead.infovx-worUHDU8?feature=share
Agreed. Even down to a molecular cell level, we're at war.
Is there a longer version of this video? It keeps jumping forward, and we see nothing of calf #2 after the glimpse in the beginning.
They are brutal, but the way they communicate with each other when they're in attack mode is amazing. They all take their positions and know exactly what to do...
They're not brutal at all. They're just eating their food like buffalos eat their food.
@@SaadKhan-xn1xv the African plains are brutal. They have no clue of the meaning..
You can feel the calf just wanting to end his own life. Being eaten alive is insane
kzhead.infovx-worUHDU8?feature=share
How would you know? Have you been eaten alive before?
U sick people. Y didnt u drive ur vehicle to try n stop it. Your scum!!!! How could you watch an animal be eating alive when u could of at least try to stop it. 😠😠😠😠
This could have all been avoided had the calf practiced toxic masculinity.
@@russellneville1300 they arnt aloud to interfere. They have to let nature run its course like its supposed to.
Vultures patiently waiting for the waiter to show them their table 😂
What a gruesome way die, eaten alive smh I couldn't imagine.
kzhead.infovx-worUHDU8?feature=share
For real
Don't imagine it simple
Also I am a little surprised that no adult buffalos came back to aid either calf - they're widely known for doing this for their herd mates and even more so for their calves. Perhaps they've grown wise to know to avoid AWDs at all costs, even if it means sacrificing some members.
They’re prey animals for a reason. Look at the huge herd’s behavior in this one for example: kzhead.info/sun/p72MfcZ6n4Gko4k/bejne.html
The calf might have been isolated from its herd
It's probs a set up for there sick videos ,I am shocked buffalo never came back for young that's a horrendous death they could have killed it put it out of its misery ,it it was a human getting ripped apart they would still laugh
Trust me they buffalo would batter these African dogs ,I am saddened they never came back ,
avoid All-Wheel Drive? what?
Terrible how they attack their genital parts, what a pain😔😔
Bc those areas are softer to tear
poor baby animals
I wonder what the calf was thinking. Did he still think he was going to make it when his muzzle was pulled? Did he think his mother was going to come and save him? And there's always that moment when you realize that it's over.
Nature is beautiful but at the same time extremely brutal. Heart wrenching scene.
Depends if you like buffalo or not.
Terrible way to die. Im amazed at people who laugh in tge background and see some one die so mercilessly. This is the actual sick human mind unfortunately.
Only sick one here is you whinning like a karen over things that happen everyday in nature
I totally understand why wild dogs were killed on site by men - they look evil and cruel. But fortunately we've grown to understand their importance in the eco system and also that predators can't perceive cruelty or evil in any way we humans can. Still, you need a strong stomach to be able to withstand witnessing a kill.
All animals are killed by men
44
Poor editing job at the end. Why did you cut off when she was about to say how long it took for the wild dogs to kill the baby buffalo?
Wild dog = Ground piranhas
So is no one going to acknowledge the elephant in the background?
The Calf will be just fine
THIS IS HORRIBLE AND CRUEL!!!!! THAT. POOR. BABY !!!!! 😭💔😭💔, WHY. DIDNT. THE. OTHER. BUFFALOS. HELP???????? 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
The other adult buffalos probably got sick and tired of the bleating noise, and walked away to let the dogs eat in peace. I'm sympathetic for the traumatized mother buffalo, but the dogs are an endangered species with excellent hunting skills.
Its called nature and that's the way it is its not cruel that's how they survive maybe you shouldn't watch these type of videos......

@@boltskyline2957 ya and they are smart enough to know that those wild dogs need hunt survive and not to call them monsters
Its a good meat on the plate and wild dogs certainly are the most successful hunters in the wild.
What happened with the second calf? Saw it in the beginning, then it was just 1
Horrible. At the end was she saying "That took what? A half an hour?"??
Animals are the ones who film and laugh.
Agree!
Absolutely
African Wild Dogs are the most successful hunters in the African bush. Incredible these creatures.
African wild dogs are born with high intelligence including complex social intelligence, stamina, but one thing that it never possesses is capability to kill the prey quickly. Its jaw structure, its size, just makes it impossible to kill prey instantly even if it wants to. That's why its hunt usually ends up with a prey being eaten alive while still conscious
They are only vermin.
Wild dogs sound like those laser guns from star wars!
Wildebeest sound like Chewbacca and the Wookiees.
And Tusken raiders sound like Donkeys.
My condolences to bufallo 😭
It's okay. The buffalo isn't hurting anymore. It's in cattle heaven now bleating and being annoying.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lmao Bro prolly chomps and goes yum at Chick fil as
Is this really in Kruger NP? When I was there shortly the all the Trucks with guided tours had roofs on top. (At 0:17)
This could be one of the private reserves of Kruger surroundings
So at 1:34, was that the calf losing control of its bladder (because it was dead) or had the dogs actually ripped into its gut?
Yea calf pissed damn thats evil as hell how life is :/
Poor poor buffalo
Poor calf😭😭😭
Nature my foot the poor calf is traumatized 😢 so painful watching death being eaten breathing what the hell...?????????.
You have compassion. I'd at least give that calf a mercy bullet to ends its pain. 😔
Yes 😥. Even this youtuber can save his life. They have Big Jeep . But they are enjoying watching death game ..shane on them.😭
i wanna watch the full video how.,/
I've been looking for that one comment to call the person videoing this irresponsible and lamenting why they didn't save the buffalo from the dogs. Please let me know when you find it.

How many hours?
Wild dogs ripping the calf's face apart, and eating it alive.. Wow. To the human monsters in this thread who get pleasure from it, you guys are seriously sick.
Death by wild dog. One of the most brutal ways to go. Only thing worse is probably death by crocodiles.
Human parents are the luckiest.
It takes human parents and elephants decades to protect the offspring to survive until adulthood. Maternal instincts affects all mammals, but IMO, it's much harder for humans to replace their children; and the same with apes and other animals with larger brains and considered, "intelligent," with human-like social groups. It's a lot easier to sacrifice themselves and let the kids survive with a relative rather than trying to survive with the emotional trauma.
The calf looks .... tasty 😅to be honest, i may take that ribs. .
The calves aren't actual fighting back! Should of showed the whole footage from when the herd were running to when the calves were isolated. Don't just jump from the herd running and then abruptly show the calves being attacked. Show the whole encounter! Because of bad video editing and the misleading video title, I down voted and flagged this video.
Average Redditor.
@@kade-qt1zu average male genitals blower.
Hard to watch, they had no chance as they couldn't keep up with the herd since they are less than half the size of the herd and they couldn't defeat the dogs because they aren't big enough or strong enough. The only thing they could have asked for was a quick death, but instead they are eaten alive. I don't know if it's better that the wild dogs started with the face or not.
Meu Deus 😱
It's important to know that both the prey and the predator in these amateur videos are aware of the human presence that is filming them. This has an effect on their behavior, and thus the outcome of the hunt.
Beef, its whats for dinner
How could anyone watch this 🥺
How can anyone comment on this?
Some people live in reality... Others (you) try to deny it and attack those who don't.
Best part 1:00
So sad
I understand this is nature but I would have to help that calf somehow, it’s too slow and too barbaric for my heart😢
Very well said
Help it how? And if you do save it, would you not be making the dogs starve?
Yeah that’s the best word to describe it. WOW 😮
kzhead.infovx-worUHDU8?feature=share
Couldn't they have the right to put that baby out of his misery. Wouldn't that be compassionate?
This is how nature works.
That's what the dogs are doing.
Brought the Bull that had lost its agility down without any problem
calves!
This is just so sad to watch...
Poor thing just got eaten alive, them niggas with the cameras better be careful tho, or they might be the next meal 😂
What cowards! It's 20 to 1! 😆🤣😂
Part 2??!!!
I know that this is nature but how in the hell can you sit there and watch that baby suffer ? It would be different if they weren't ripping him apart alive.
Unfortunately the dogs would die if they don't eat, sad but true.
I agree, how can you not want to help them poor defenceless babies, i understand that it’s nature, but how can you watch such suffering?’it’s beyond me how you could film such a gruesome scene
In nature and in our society, you have wolves and sheep.
@@kikash8790 you're being a bit whiny.
I don't save save him but... Can you just shoot him so he can die fast and not being eaten alive? Maybe 🥺
Ooo my good Nes
Painted dogs are so beautiful but why do they always have to go in arse first?!?
Said it before, said it again, brutal but pure nature.
The "brutality" is coming from the buffalo for having pain receptors. The wild dogs are not responsible for that.
@@SaadKhan-xn1xv The pain receptors stop sending signals during massive trauma and when mammals go into shock.
Very sad 😪
Anyone else see that elephant in the background at roughly 0:39?

I am not bothered by the idea of hunting for survival and it is a part of the Wild animals. However you don't have to show such a heart breaking end.

Not sure who had the bright idea to call me a dumbass but thank you for your comment. Have a great day
If I ever had to make a choice. I would rather die to a big cat than wild dogs. Brutally slow death.
the commentary from the sheltered city dweller tourists is always cringe
Welcome to the world, little one! Bet you wish you were never born. 😬
Pretty pathetic for the wild dogs, struggling to kill a Buffalo calf.
the calves are okay though right? They're going to make it.
I am sorry Micheal
It was it's time to be a delicious meal to this pack of happy 🐕
Mike, are sitting down now because the unthinkable has happened? The two calves survived, but now they have lip implants and look like the Kendall Jenner. It's a mess of a sight.
They're in heaven now.
Where are the mothers??
Probably in a steakhouse. I think the visitors were mostly there to see the dogs and other predators.
Pound for pound buffalo have to be the most cowardly of the prey animals. Love to see it.
Grof dat jullie dit op youtube zetten👹👹
Why do you just in your vehicle and watch and try nit yo help that poor buffalo calf?
Because they came to see nature, and this is nature.
They have to eat too if they want to survive
@@julieta8558 i understand but its just horrible to listen and watch.
I don't think you understand the whole point of safaris and nature reserves, do you?
@@hyenaboy7504 yes I understand but its still horrible that they just sit and watch and try to do nothing to help this poor calf.
Epic sighting!
Fucking heard of them an they just run of
The buffalo aren’t naturally equipped for the wild dogs tactics. They are used to dealing with lions. Lions don’t come in packs of 50, and don’t nip at their back legs the whole time. This combined with the buffalos poor eyesight means that in the end they just have to give up....
It's strange though that they are made to run by such small predators!
Yeah, it's funny how people comment on these videos like they're talking about an army of people. "Why don't they form a military formation with horns out and march methodically and fearlessly towards the wild dogs!?!?!"
It’s also the dogs ability to exhaust prey through chasing. This and their high IQ (team work).
Wow, one of the most intelligent posts on here. You are 100% right, a wild dog does not stand a chance against a lion, but I also noticed that there are much better chasing and harassing buffalo then lions. The go for the calves mostly, since it's easier prey, but the ease that they manage to get a buffalo herd on the run is really something to behold.
If the buffalo could jump the story would be different 😅
I show this to people who are vegan.
Good. Just show this entire channel to vegans. Might make them think.
Mean while..Lions hunted their puppies
And a herd trampled the lion. Full circle.
Oh my goodness. There was none to save it. 😭
That's just how nature is it's unpredictable
They shouldn't help, it's nature, wild dogs have to eat to survive, why should they take their food away from these animals, surely they hadn't eaten for weeks for an idiot to show up and take away their food on a whim so they die of Hungry, is that better than letting nature take its course?
@@MasterChief_389 the others buffalos should save it
Nothing is happening that needs "saving". It's animals eating their natural diet. The Disney brainwashing has ruined you people.

It’s done no chance
I'm sick of people using the excuse that you shouldn't interfere with mother nature.... Anybody sitting filming this has ice running through their veins! Watching something being eaten alive makes you just cold-hearted, callus and inhumane.
Yeah. It's not like the wild dogs are just predators trying to feed their families, and saving the calf would be denying them a meal.
@@kade-qt1zu there's a huge difference between letting mother nature take its course and watching and filming it! That's my point! No one enjoys watching these films, If they do there's something mentally wrong with them. I refuse to...

Not sure how filming nature is "inhumane". They aren't causing any harm to the animals
For the Lions! For rangers, vets, safari shop owners, and the authorities that regulate Africa's wildlife: Due to the critical conservation situation that lions are in, there should be more forceful actions to avoid problems, and also to fix these problems. "Do not interfere"... Stupidity! If you don't interfere, they will increasingly decrease in the wild. There's no way not to interfere. How can there be any expectation of saving lions from extinction, when when they need it, no one can act because it was not a human cause? It's an absurd ambiguity! There's no way not to interfere! The chain effect is already doing more and more damage. It is necessary to stop these problems. And if the man (who has all the necessary resources) does not interfere, who will? Today is the time! Tomorrow is uncertain. We currently have technology, we know about genetics, reproduction, eating habits of various animals. We have the internet to spread the word and join forces, and volunteers always show up! More and more people are becoming aware of animal life. And what do some people who are closest to you do? Don't interfere... Joke! It's funny that these people make money from safaris, and it's precisely the lions that generate the most profits. And they don't interfere... When the last wild lion disappears, they'll be sorry they didn't interfere sooner. Interfering is HELPING! Does it cost to help? Is it wrong to help? It's primitive, stupid and unbelievable that thought. I hope they don't let the situation get worse so they can take action. If the situation got worse, obviously they would interfere. It would be the existence of the lions at stake. And why not act now, while it's reasonable? Is it necessary to wait for chaos? I hope those people "responsible" for these policies will have access to what I'm writing, and open their minds. Or that someone who knows them take my words to them.
Calm down. You're not saying anything profound or accurate. Take a chill pill. You're worked up over misinformation. You likely don't know the first thing about conservation.
@@blackswan8653, Are you against what I wrote? Everything is fine. It is normal to oppose something contrary to what we believe. However, you cannot deny it just because you are against it. It is necessary that you present SOLID arguments, which prove what you are arguing. Prove me wrong, and that doing nothing is better than interfering. You couldn't take the value out of my words. You didn't present any arguments of value, nothing that would show that what you believe, which is the opposite of what I wrote, works and is helping to save lions from extinction. You didn't. If what I wrote is wrong, and the attitudes that maintain the current situation are good, why are lions currently in the process of becoming extinct? The numbers favor my arguments. Watch without interfering. That's the solution. Acting is something that bothers a lot. Acting means taking action and taking responsibility. This is a nightmare for most people. They prefer a savior for everything, especially what is their responsibility. Maybe you have connections with rangers, vets, or are part of some entity that prefers not to act, instead of striving to make a difference, or you just can't see things from a different perspective, and you only attack what is contrary. what you believe. But remember that the current system (the one you defend) is not being effective in saving lions from extinction. The number of wild lions decreases every year. Maybe it doesn't matter to you, and deep down you only care about theories and models, animal life doesn't matter to you. If interfering saves, if interference is in favor of life, what's the problem? Is letting die better? For you it must be. There is no more time for clinging to theories. Strong actions are what saves. Shallow criticism devoid of foundation, do not add anything.
@@soueuarthur you are aware that lion populations in well protected parks like Kruger are stable or increasing across Southern Africa correct? The reason why their populations overall are decreasing in the wild is habitat destruction and poaching in less protected areas like West Africa. Randomly interfering in the lives of wild animals the way you’re describing shows a bias towards one animal at the expense of another when both are just trying to survive. Non interference promotes natural selection and ensures that the next generation of lions in this case is fit for life in the wild. Obviously, the exception to this is when an animal is threatened by man made circumstances like poaching-freeing an animal from a snare for instance and giving it medical attention if needed.
@@MrAtrox98, I didn't mention "random interference", let alone prioritizing one animal over "the detriment of others". It may be difficult to conceive of distinct methods when we are very used to a method repeated for a long time. Normal. Every new proposal is resisted. If you read everything I wrote, you must have seen that the interference I mentioned was "help". I did not incite to harm other species, to benefit the lions. Don't distort my words! Not helping, when it is possible to help and promote benefits to the species, is foolish. That's what I said! You did not understand. Now you will understand.
@@soueuarthur I don't know what part of "calm down" you don't understand. You sure know how to take a straw man and rip it to shreds. LOL
Why you people don't help this poor animal, who is crying for help
