The Battle at Kruger
RandomI came across this video a couple of months ago on YouTube — apparently, about 26 million others did too, making the “Battle at Kruger” the winner of the 2007 YouTube Video Awards. Honestly, it’s an 8-minute long real-life Universal Studios ride. A buffalo strays from the herd and is dragged off by a couple of lions, then plays the part of the rope in a game of tug-of-war between the lions and a freakin’ crocodile, then manages to get away after the herd returns to mount the “mutiny on the savanna” against the lions. It’s pretty intense.
After the video became so popular, the filmmakers, David Budzinski and Jason Schlosberg, were sent back to South Africa to film a documentary about it, and on National Geographic’s dime. Not a bad gig. So, while your scrubbing the kitchen floor and making an attempt at cooking dinner for your mom this Sunday, tune in to the National Geographic Channel at 9pm EST.
