that video of the buffalo is killer...I am an avid animal planet watcher and i have never seen anything that spectacular. I am sure when those folks out at discovery channel and NGC saw the video, they must have been jealous as hell. Because they spend months and even years in the bush and they never see something that good. Then a bunch of tourists stumble on such
a sequence of events that you couldnt even begin to make up..
unbelievable..(i laughed at the end when one guy said you could sell that video)...If he had a better camera, the sequence would be worth 10s of thousands of dollars.

Just saw this Giraffe fight, it's kinda like giant cock slapping. Also fuels my need to see Aliens.

ANYONE WATCH 2ND SEASON OPENER OF MAN VS WILD LAST NIGHT?
NEW YORK — Adventure survivalist Bear Grylls kicks off the second season of Discovery's Man Vs. Wild tonight (9 ET/PT) by sleeping in a camel's carcass in the Sahara, where daytime temperatures reach 130 degrees. He uses the animal's head as a pillow.
Then at 10, in the second part of the special season opener, Grylls breaks a world record flying a motorized paraglider 30,000 feet above Mount Everest, where it's 60 below zero and a mistake means death.
All in a few days' work for Grylls, 33, a former member of British special forces who fights his way this season through steamy jungles of Panama and isolated glaciers in Patagonia, pitting him against whatever nature serves up. "We raised the bar considerably," Grylls said this week over a breakfast of berries, quite a change from the horned vipers, camel fat, goat testicles and scorpions he ate in the Sahara in July. "The aim was to go to more extremes, to more remote places."
Man Vs. Wild averaged 1.6 million viewers in its first year, one of Discovery's top shows. But it took a publicity hit in July by reports that Grylls often spends nights in hotels while filming — in contrast to shots of him saying goodnight in a dark cave or in rain or snow.
Grylls says he and his crew generally spend 10 days on shoots, and, when not filming at night, they lodge in base camps and jungle lodges. As a result of the uproar, producers now include more behind-the-scenes footage and text explaining off-camera elements. "Looking back, the mistake was not telling viewers more from the outset," he says. "The more they see, the more they realize how full-on a lot of the stuff is."
In both the Sahara special (a second hour airs Nov. 16 at 9 ET/PT) and the Everest adventure, the dangers are clear. When Grylls parachutes into the Sahara, he soaks his shirt with his urine then wraps it around his head to keep cool, a technique that has been known to save lives. "It's a pretty humbling place. You literally feel like you are in a sea of boiling sand."
At age 23, Grylls climbed Everest, the youngest Brit to do so. This time, he couldn't sleep the night before his flight. "It was the element of the unknown — of things that could go wrong — that freaked me out. If something went wrong with our oxygen system, you're unconscious in 30 seconds and dead two minutes later."
Grylls, who lives on a London houseboat with his wife and two boys, finds it harder each year to come up with reasons for continuing his dangerous business. "But it's what I do, what I love. It's my job. It's where I come alive, and it's what I'm good at. I do have a belief that the day I stop, I'll probably get run over by a bus.
