Couldn’t have imagined that buffaloes could stand up to lions! Not always the case of brawn power winning, i realised..
Admirable teamwork, of course!!! Lions winning over crocs! and Buffaloes winning over lions!!!!!!!!!
Assess how much more strong you need to be and muster that much more… So many lions to fight 2 crocs and so many more buffaloes to fight 4 lions!! Paradigm shifts.. Laws of the jungle are also subject to change!!!!

Comment #165. Vaheguru!

From the YouTube Video Awards, just FYI:

Best eyewitness video was the epic “Battle at
Kruger,” which has drawn more than 26 million
views to its astonishing footage of a baby water
buffalo surviving an attack by lions ­ and a
crocodile! ­ in the African prairie. It was up
against the news-making clip of a University of
Florida student pleading “Don’t tase me, bro!” as
police removed him from a John Kerry forum.

I see something interestingly different in this. First of all, it looks like the lions have no power over the bison unless the bison (as a group) allow it.

Second, it is like the bison don’t just come back, but rather as if the bison hold a congress or trial, with some defending the cause of freeing the baby, and others not so sure. Perhaps they *are* unsure of whether this is a bad thing or not. But one seems to be very much in defense of the baby, and throws off a lion. Then a bunch chase the lions, while the remaining lions chew on the baby.

Others, then, seem to discuss what more to do, and finally prod the other lions away from the baby, freeing him to go back into the central herd.

It makes me wonder whether the youth was being tried for arrogance as a capital crime. Or whether the bison were discussing appropriate responses to each of the other lions.

Maybe I’m just anthropomorphizing here. But maybe other social creatures do have significantly developed social structures. Maybe courts and law are not unique to humans.

Michael Rudmin ji –

What an interesting take on this! Anthropomorphising for sure; still, very, very cool. We have no idea what goes on in the minds of beings of other species. You could be right. Who knows?

This would make a great short story with a little dialogue added. Do you write?

“Not only is the universe queerer than you imagine. It is queerer than you CAN imagine.” JBS Haldane, Scottish mathematician. (Please! “Queer” in the sense of “strange.”)
