I saw an amazing film on I believe the National Geographic channel over the weekend. A cape buffalo calf was attacked by 5 or 6 lions right at a river's edge. As they were pulling it away a crocodile latched onto it, and after a brief tug of war the lions got it. Just then the rest of the buffalo herd, maybe 50 or so, came to the calf's aid. One of them hooked a lion on his horns and flipped it up in the air! The others chased the lions away one at a time and succeeded in rescuing the calf. Go to Youtube and search for buffalo lion crocodile and watch it. It's about 8 minutes long. You never saw anything like this!!!

Wildebeests and various types of antelopes too. It's been an extremely varied bunch this morning! Does anyone know of a really good site with photographs of African animals to help ID those that I don't recognize? The different antelope/deer type animals are some I particularly have trouble with.

One thing I definitely don't want to see is a kill of any kind. I've seen zebras, elephants, rhinos, antelopes, there. Here's the link Marie. It's dark now, you can just see a bit of reflection of the water Here is a link that might be useful: Afri-Cam

Isn't nature wonderful! I also watch Phoebe the hummingbird in Irvine A where a big bird destroyed the nest and the two babies are gone/ the worst is feared! Mom is rebuilding another nest - http://phoebeallens.com/... Extreme sadness and now rebirth!
