00:00Another stampede. Oh my God. Oh, look at that.
00:05The lion is coming down the hill.
00:07Look at that. It's impressive.
00:09There, there, there's the lion coming.
00:21We bring you the sightings of the most incredible wild animals in the world.
00:30Oh my God.
00:34Recorded by tourists
00:39who were in the place
00:42at the right time.
00:48The hippos may intervene.
00:54Look.
00:56Oh my God.
00:57That's impressive.
00:59There they are.
01:01That's how all safaris should be.
01:10To see some action in the African savannah,
01:12you have to take into account the seasons.
01:19The arid winter is about to fall.
01:22The animals are thirsty.
01:24And the predators are watching.
01:28The buffalos need to drink every day.
01:32They usually go in huge herds.
01:36A defensive strategy against the largest feline in Africa.
01:42Lions love buffalos.
01:45And yes, in groups they are more protected.
01:49But lions also hunt in herds.
01:52And some of them are hunters.
01:55And some of them are specialists in hunting large prey.
02:07To see the deployment, you have to go to the puddles and rivers.
02:11That's where the herds of buffalos are headed.
02:15And where the lions await them.
02:18Stay alert.
02:20If you blink, you will miss the confrontation.
02:23Oh my God.
02:25Oh no.
02:30A lone buffalo looks cornered by a herd of lions.
02:39He has no escape.
02:40So he gets into the water.
02:52Oh no.
02:53Hey, look over there.
02:54There's something in the water.
02:55But the buffalo's escape plan is coming down.
02:59Guys, look.
03:01Look, look over there.
03:02A crocodile.
03:03Oh my God.
03:07Look, look.
03:11That's amazing.
03:15Oh my God.
03:17Oh my God.
03:19Oh my God.
03:21Oh my God.
03:34I'm dying.
03:35I can't follow him.
03:36The buffalo is not going to escape.
03:38And if he does, the probability that he will survive is almost zero.
03:44The lions are waiting for him.
03:51Oh my God.
03:56When he sees the lions, the buffalo thinks twice and turns around.
04:04Oh my God.
04:06Oh my God.
04:10What is that?
04:21No.
04:27Look.
04:28Do you see them?
04:29The lions are waiting for him to come out.
04:32There, there.
04:34The buffalo gets out.
04:35Look at them.
04:36It was too big for the crocodile.
04:39There.
04:40Oh my God.
04:42Guys, look, look.
04:51Oh my God.
05:00The lion is attacking.
05:14Oh my God.
05:20Oh my God.
05:29Oh my God.
05:38This is crazy.
05:51For lions, it's very difficult to kill buffaloes.
05:55Buffaloes are capable of killing a lion,
05:58and it takes the lions to kill a buffalo.
06:02They have to be equal to each other.
06:05For the lions, the objective is to separate the buffalo from the herd.
06:13The buffalo can't escape.
06:16He can't keep the lions away.
06:18He can't keep the lions away forever.
06:25Look, look.
06:27There are a lot of buffaloes.
06:28A herd of buffaloes appears from among the weeds.
06:32Unlike many herbivores,
06:34the buffaloes don't stay as if nothing,
06:36watching one of their own die.
06:40Now that the herd has arrived, things are going to change.
06:49Oh my God.
07:02They're running away.
07:04And the females?
07:11It looks like the lion is lagging behind.
07:19It's a strong herd of lions.
07:22Why would they give up so easily?
07:25The most interesting thing about this sighting is the story behind it.
07:30Why aren't the lions attacking the lions?
07:33The twist is that the lions are on the defensive.
07:37No!
07:39Before all of this happened,
07:41the buffaloes were closer to the lions' young.
07:45With the buffaloes getting closer,
07:47the herd focused its attention on defending them,
07:50instead of trying to kill the buffaloes.
07:55Females of the herd raise together with the babies.
07:59When the buffaloes came along,
08:01the females went straight to the young,
08:03and the male tried to get away from the enemy.
08:07If the life of the young is at stake,
08:09the herd doesn't care about having a good meal.
08:14For the lions,
08:15a buffalo is a delicacy.
08:19A feast for the whole family.
08:23And for the lions,
08:24a buffalo is a delicacy.
08:27A feast for the whole family.
08:30And for the lions,
08:31a buffalo is a delicacy.
08:33A feast for the whole family.
08:36Both species fight an ancestral battle.
08:41And the winner is not always the strongest.
08:49Keep your eyes open.
08:52Next, you'll see how aggressive the buffaloes can be.
08:55We have buffaloes and lions in puddle four.
09:00Look, the herd has caught a lion.
09:03He's biting the dust.
09:05There he is.
09:06Look at her.
09:07They're throwing her from side to side.
09:09And now they're trampling on her.
09:11Poor thing, they're trampling on her.
09:15Look, there she is.
09:17Oh, no.
09:20I've never seen something like this.
09:22It's clear that she's not going to get out of there alive.
09:36I hope they don't find anyone else.
09:39Like they catch the young.
09:46I hope they don't find anyone else.
09:49Like they catch the young.
09:52Like they catch the young.
09:55They're passing each other.
09:57Look, look.
10:00Mother, they've turned her around.
10:02No, she's dead.
10:08They've already broken all her bones.
10:11Even though she's dead,
10:12the buffaloes will continue until she's completely gutted.
10:18In all the years we've been doing safaris,
10:20we've never seen...
10:31Wow!
10:39How did it happen?
10:41The buffaloes need to drink every day,
10:43and it's likely that the lions were waiting for them,
10:46but they miscalculated the time
10:48and found the wrong herd.
11:00In a safari,
11:02not everything goes as you'd expect.
11:09For one animal to survive,
11:12another has to pay the price.
11:14That's why the parents put so much effort
11:17in defending their young.
11:23Look, guys, look over there.
11:29Look, there are two.
11:32Look, there are two.
11:43They'll be a couple of months, at most.
11:57Where will he take them?
12:01I don't know.
12:06I think they're scared.
12:24Wow!
12:25You have to be very careful.
12:27I think he's aware of the danger.
12:31I think he's aware of the danger.
12:46Is he calling them?
12:48What a cutie!
13:02Yes.
13:08Wait, wait.
13:09He's coming out again.
13:12There are the young.
13:15Yes.
13:16He had to take them.
13:17They didn't want to come.
13:32He's trying to hide.
13:58I'm going to give you some information.
14:01Female leopards are single mothers.
14:05The father leaves,
14:06and they have to take care of the young.
14:12She has to buy them food
14:13and hide them when they go out hunting.
14:17Leopards hate open spaces.
14:19They feel too exposed.
14:21This situation is a good example of that.
14:26Wild animals don't usually identify
14:28with cars as a threat.
14:32But even so,
14:33the mother is very attentive.
14:39Even though the puppies don't pay much attention.
14:43Very good, little one.
14:44He's telling them,
14:48come with me now.
14:51At this time of year,
14:53it's worth going to the ponds
14:57to see the thirsty animals
14:59and their predatory patients.
15:21But sometimes,
15:22when you go looking for fights,
15:24you find real gems
15:26in unexpected places.
15:29And those are usually the best sightings.
15:36A cobra del cabo
15:38is seen cornered by a group of earth squirrels
15:41in the arid bed of a river.
15:44What's that?
15:45Have you seen it?
15:46Look, there in the bushes.
15:48But what's going on?
16:03The snake is fast,
16:04but the squirrels don't stay behind.
16:15Look!
16:18There's a question in the air.
16:21Ground squirrels don't feed on big snakes,
16:23so what are they trying to achieve?
16:27These are creating a defensive strategy
16:29to try to chase away the snake.
16:34Ground squirrels dig a lot.
16:38They live in huge communal burrows
16:40where they also hide their young.
16:44They're not afraid of humans,
16:46so they hide their young.
16:51Cobra del cabo kill their young.
16:55They hunt for chicks in nests,
16:58squirrels in burrows.
17:01No little one is safe.
17:03They strike fast
17:05and have a very powerful neurotoxic poison
17:08that could kill even a human being.
17:11But the squirrels
17:12dodge their attacks like a ninja.
17:16This cobra has been caught with her hands in the dough.
17:26The squirrels use their tails
17:28to distract the snake and make it look bigger.
17:36The cobra decides to attack.
17:40But is it going to attack?
17:46Reinforcements have arrived.
17:48A thick-tailed mongoose.
17:51Told you he had a different purpose from squirrels.
17:55This guy is not protecting his young.
17:58He's hunting a cobra.
18:05The snake is at heart of the game.
18:07The mongoose are capable of killing
18:09even the deadliest snakes.
18:11The mongoose are immune to their poison
18:13thanks to special proteins in their blood.
18:18But it is really dangerous
18:20to dodge those sharp fangs.
18:26It's a standoff.
18:29Who is quicker,
18:30the snake or mongoose?
18:36The mongoose are the ones
18:38who have the upper hand.
18:48They're very even.
18:52I think he's losing interest.
19:00Yeah, look at the cobra.
19:02It's his lucky day.
19:04He didn't get his girl's snack,
19:06but at least he didn't turn into one.
19:18Attention, attention.
19:19A herd of news
19:20is approaching the hippos' pond.
19:37It could look like a normal pond
19:39at this time of year.
19:41With hippos and their thirsty news.
19:43But someone else is hiding not far from here.
19:48A crocodile!
19:49Wow, he's caught it!
19:53Oh, that's bad.
19:56You don't see this every day.
19:58There's another crocodile coming this way.
20:00Okay, they're going to try to get us into the pond.
20:03They have to turn around to drown him,
20:05to be clear.
20:06In these cases,
20:07the hippos may intervene.
20:09They don't like crocodiles.
20:11No, no.
20:12It looks like he's managed to escape.
20:14The pond is already up there.
20:16But more hippos are coming.
20:19This is a fascinating situation.
20:22This is a huge crocodile.
20:24He's just getting the perfect ambush
20:26to surprise a herd of news.
20:28And he's not alone.
20:35What's that?
20:36A crocodile.
20:37A crocodile.
20:38A crocodile.
20:39A crocodile.
20:40A crocodile.
20:41A crocodile.
20:42A crocodile.
20:43A crocodile.
20:44A crocodile.
20:45A crocodile.
20:46Crocodiles are very stealthy predators, very cryptic, they can be hidden in shallow waters
20:58and you can barely see them, and once they have their prey, they don't let go, they're
21:06not just biting them, they're choking them, but if there's an animal that hates crocodiles
21:14it's the hippos, and hippos are not trying to be heroes, they just can't stand them.
21:26Hippos are temperamental, fast and unpredictable, and they won't hesitate to kill a crocodile
21:33if they think their own are in danger.
21:45The big crocodile still hasn't let go of New, but the more the prey resists, the more
21:51likely it is that the crocodile will run out of air.
21:54It's not a good place, it's much deeper.
21:59Take your time.
22:00The crocodile keeps trying, he wants to tire him out.
22:06It's been a long time.
22:07Oh, no, no, no.
22:15There's still a crocodile left, he hasn't given up yet.
22:17Oh, yes, I've seen it, yes.
22:20Come on!
22:22The hippos are biting them.
22:24The crocodile can't kill him as usual, there are too many hippos on the surface, so he's
22:45trying to submerge New to drown him.
22:48No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
22:53New resists and the hippos continue to surround him.
23:00Look, he's moving.
23:01He's escaped.
23:02The crocodile has let go.
23:03Come on, let's go.
23:04That's it.
23:05He's going.
23:06Come on, let's go.
23:11That's it.
23:13Oh, he's leaving.
23:25He's limping a lot.
23:27Oh, no.
23:57But that means that the offspring of the herbivores must follow the rhythm of the adults almost from birth.
24:10Antelopes are born with a fairly developed musculature.
24:15Hours after birth, they should be able to run with their mother.
24:21If they don't, they become an easy prey.
24:28The predators have to feed themselves, and as hard as it sounds,
24:32seeing them hunting is one of the most interesting moments of a safari.
24:46This impala is restless.
24:50And rightly so.
24:52Its newborn doesn't get up.
24:59And the predators approach.
25:10They smell the young, and their hunting instincts lead them directly to the prey.
25:17It's a limited situation.
25:19Everyone wants the prey.
25:22The mother is doing everything she can to warn her offspring,
25:26but she knows it won't do her any good.
25:30And it's too late to intervene.
25:34Oh, look, he's got it.
25:37He's got it.
25:40He's got it.
25:43He's got it.
25:46He's got it.
26:02He's still alive.
26:12The hyena doesn't know what to do.
26:16He's got it.
26:31He's gone.
26:36What a shame, the mother is still there.
26:39He's got it.
26:44The snake is fighting it.
26:49The hyena goes with caution, and rightly so.
26:53It's not advisable to mess with an African rock python.
26:57Their sharp and twisted teeth could hurt the hyena.
27:02And they strike very quickly.
27:06And that means they're very muscular.
27:09They curl up around their prey, and they will cut the circulation.
27:15But likewise, a bite from the hyena could tear the spine off the snake.
27:25This python is still not an adult, and she's escaping while she can.
27:36A deserved victory.
27:38The hyena leaves no traces.
27:41Hyenas are one of the only carnivores capable of eating entire prey,
27:45whether fresh or not.
27:50The hyena didn't wait for the python to kill the impala.
27:55It's actually the hyena who's died of a bite.
27:59It's actually the hyena who's died of a bite.
28:02It's actually the hyena who's died of a bite.
28:10In a safari, you don't always get on a vehicle.
28:14Some of the best sightings happen on foot.
28:21You feel more vulnerable.
28:28Your adrenaline levels go up.
28:31And encountering a pack of lions face to face could have consequences.
28:41But surprising 500 buffaloes is worse.
28:48Another stampede.
28:50Oh my God.
28:51Look at that.
28:53The lion is coming down the hill.
28:55Look at it.
28:56It's amazing.
28:57There, there.
28:58The lion is coming this way.
29:02Hundreds of buffaloes against a pack of lions?
29:06It's a battlefield between predators and prey.
29:16Look at that.
29:18It's amazing.
29:32Oh God.
29:33I don't see anything with so much dust.
29:35Look at them.
29:49Oh God.
29:50It is...
29:52Oh my God.
29:53They're going to kill him.
29:55They got him.
30:01Oh my God.
30:02They've knocked him down.
30:08Oh no.
30:09They've got a calf.
30:11They're going to kill it.
30:32But as usual, the pack of buffaloes returns to rescue the calf.
30:38Oh my God.
30:39Look at that.
30:40Look at that.
30:41The buffaloes are coming back.
30:49They're chasing them.
30:53Look at that.
30:57He's getting up.
30:59He's getting up.
31:07That's amazing.
31:09Oh my God.
31:39The buffaloes keep moving forward, but the lions manage to catch two calves.
31:53They're much easier to drown than adult buffaloes.
31:57Oh my God.
31:58Did you hear that?
32:05The sounds.
32:10Oh my God.
32:22This is a massacre.
32:27Look at that.
32:28The pack of buffaloes is coming to rescue it.
32:32What a battle.
32:34It's...
32:36No.
32:37Oh no.
32:38Oh my God.
32:50The buffalo is desperate.
32:52Yeah, but they want to drink.
32:54They're thirsty.
32:55You can tell.
33:04It's still alive.
33:06Oh my God.
33:14Look at that.
33:15He's getting up.
33:17Oh my God.
33:35As we've seen on this safari, the buffaloes don't abandon their own, just like that.
33:41And they have no problem chasing the lions when they get past the number.
33:50But if the lions manage to get away from a calf, it's game over.
34:10Oh my God.
34:15Oh my God.
34:20Oh my God.
34:27They're trying to save the calf, but it's dead.
34:40Oh my God.
34:46They've managed to save one, but the lions have caused these two.
34:50It's not getting up.
34:52Oh my God.
34:54Here they come again.
34:56Four less.
35:00These lions had a great plan.
35:02Target the calves.
35:03Oh my God.
35:12Oh my God.
35:14Then the lions take advantage of the chaos they've created.
35:24And the cleverest thing is to kill the prey as quickly as possible,
35:28because they know that the buffaloes are going to come for them.
35:32They're chasing them.
35:34They'll come back later to pick up the calf.
35:40The buffaloes have satiated their thirst and the lions have hunted.
35:43That's the cycle of life at this time of year.
35:56The sightings of the safaris depend on where you're going.
36:01But sometimes the most interesting thing is what you see on the road.
36:07Safaris are not only there to see battles between animals.
36:12They can also teach us a lot about life.
36:25Here we have a lioness sleeping.
36:32And a very big lion on the lookout.
36:38But what is he doing?
36:44Does he want to attack her?
36:50Shh.
36:51Sorry.
37:01Oh my God.
37:31You need to tell him what's going on.
37:33It's a pretty funny situation.
37:51You need to tell him what's going on.
37:53It's a pretty funny situation.
38:02The big, dominant lion has taken a good beating for waking up the lioness.
38:19The courtship of the lions is somewhat aggressive.
38:24It's all a matter of hormones.
38:26The female's instincts take her to mating.
38:29But the male's penis has spikes.
38:32So this means that the act itself is very painful for the female.
38:37It may be a shock, yes.
38:39But it makes her ovulate.
38:45And the bad mood doesn't last long.
38:49In the next 24 hours, they'll mate about 50 times.
38:54But this male hasn't conquered it yet.
38:57It may be that he has taken possession of the herd recently
39:00and is trying to impose his dominion.
39:02In which case, he will try to mate with all the females in the herd.
39:05This female, of course, is not in the mood.
39:08I mean, who wouldn't be after they woke her up like that?
39:17At all seasons, a herd of buffaloes in the dry river.
39:22It could be interesting.
39:23Two herds of lions are approaching.
39:28It doesn't look good for the buffaloes.
39:36They're right next to the lions.
39:38They're very close, aren't they?
39:40Very close, yes.
39:42This time, there are two herds of lions attacking the buffaloes.
39:49Why don't you run away?
39:51At all seasons, the lions come from the south.
39:54The buffaloes head north.
39:56Towards the male lions.
39:58Pete, it's not worth it.
40:07Come here, Pete.
40:09The buffaloes are passing by.
40:27Are they behind the pole cloud?
40:29No.
40:39The lions have dragged him to the riverbed,
40:42making it difficult for the herd to rescue him.
40:48The buffalo has a scar on his back.
40:51Maybe he escaped from the lions.
40:54Will he be able to do it again?
41:02This is very unusual.
41:04Of course.
41:07Two herds collaborating.
41:24The buffalo struggles to keep standing.
41:27If he falls to the ground, it's over.
41:53The herd watches the scene from above,
41:56unable to come down to help.
42:06They've knocked him down.
42:08I don't think he can get up.
42:24The lions have done very well.
42:26They've worked together.
42:28It's not the first time.
42:30But this time they have achieved their goal,
42:32a buffalo of the greats.
42:34It's almost too good to be true.
42:40Males form coalitions,
42:42and they can associate with females from more than one herd.
42:46Look, those two lions could go for the third one.
42:49Look, it's not very funny.
42:51Neither are the others.
42:53But the females from rival herds don't get along.
42:57One of them is buffing the other.
43:16And then they take this flair.
43:27And the males let on to separate them.
43:29They just want to eat.
43:35But power struggles have distracted them,
43:38and it has cost them their food.
43:42Possibly for the second time,
43:44the buffalo manages to escape by the hair.
43:49Another reminder that anything can happen on this safari.
