This interesting movie was sent to my box by my client. It's a little long but absolutely worth watching. Buffaloes, crocodiles and lions, who wins the last battle?

| breath-taking battle for life | Jun 15, 2007 |
It's always such a vivid reminder for human that nature is full of survival instinct. Those lions seemed young and in-experienced--they really should have not messed up with buffaloes (especially in a big hurd). A grown-up baffaloe is a serious matter in Africa apparently, I heard it is the second most dangerous animal just after rhino to tourists. I suspect those lions will continue to follow the baffalo herd until the injured young one fall behind again.
Big cats are one of my favourite, on the contrast, crocodile is one of the least.
I always heard that Kruger National Park in South Africa is a great place to see animal, but I never thought you can have such a close encounter, thrilling.

Amazing. That lion that got tossed into the air must have sustained some serious injuries.
When hunger is greater than fear, injuries do not mean anything at all. However, I am amazed that buffaloes have such communication skills to summon up the herd for the protection of their youngs. So far I know, they would form a circle and put their youngs in the middle when they sense danger. Such intelligence shown in the video seems to be staged.
Well, what happens with the Spanish bull running is some kind of religion. There isn't any herb against religious zeal anyway, like the Germans would say: Gegen Torheit ist keine Kraut gewachsen. (There isn't any herb grown against stupidity.)

| Incredible (Spoiler Alert!!) | Jun 15, 2007 |
I was a little upset when the parent buffaloes didn't do anything and just left when it all started. I am so glad I was wrong. Thrilled to see the calf was still alive. Wonder whether he will survive though.
Obviously buffaloes are not meat-eaters-- they just chased the predators out and left them alone.
Thank you Jianjun for bringing it here. This is truly incredible.

These animals prove themselves great strategists in times of danger.
Who would expect a horse could do this to a lion?

Jianjun,
Are you sure this is the right link you intended? What I got was a funeral ritual performed by Tibetan monks.

我說﹕君子要報仇，小人要報仇，君子與小人有何分別。強者要報仇，弱者要報仇，強者與弱者亦無分別。若報仇是小人的行為，君子又為何一定要報仇，才能表示自己是君子呢？強者要報仇不甘示弱，弱者報仇才值得喝采、歌頌嗎！看來仇恨、怨懟還有很大的發展空間，這是人性的墮落，道德不彰。
其他宗教與哲學又怎樣說，很想知道。

PK 叔，
看了你和 David 兄的话，我又研究了自己的标题和录像内容，看是否合适，改为 Self-defence of the weak 又觉不妥。因为那水牛在救出了自己的幼崽后，确有报复狮子的意味。如果说保护幼崽是热血动物的一般行为，报复行为在弱势 VS 强势动物的情况下则不多见。
另外，大叔感叹的报仇、报怨、君子、小人等，在动物界是没有的。想来想去，题目还是不改... See more PK 叔，

但是，不知怎樣把『報仇雪恨』去歸類，這個既不是七情，又不屬六慾，卻明顯地是人類的思想行為，因無以名之，便借手一推，算進森林規律中去，況影片就是在講動物嘛。莎翁名劇HAMLET硬要翻譯成『王子復仇記』，看來報仇是有中國的特色，有仇不報，時辰未到，為父報仇，報一箭之仇，有仇不報，誓不為人等等都是很中國的的概念，言則西方就沒有嗎，亦不見得。我要問的是，除了報仇之外，有沒有其他的OPTIONS呢，動物可能是沒有，人總是聰明得多，會想出比較文明的辦法，去解決仇恨這個問題。算喇，講到此，如果DAVID有興趣，可以繼續下去。

再想想有动物报复的例子吗？很久以前在读者文摘还是什么地方见过狗替主人报仇的故事，如果是真的，那也算报复了。只是狗已经不能算单纯的动物了。

食草动物的报复，也只能如此了，一般他们只会跑，被捉住，吃掉，如今竟可以追逐狮子，用角挑起狮子！想想看，这已经是很大的勇气，所以那题目叫做 Revenge... 但是 of the weak。
当然，Revenge 一词在不同的人看来，解释亦不同。这样的玩笑题目，认真不得。如果我看到一只猫咪对着镜子乱抓的视频，觉得有趣，贴过来，分别用以下题目：

Shaunna 觉得哪个题目更贴切，但哪个题目更吸引人的眼球呢？
