Great rains fell all day, some 36mm. And the drizzle continued overnight. It wasn’t worth us braving it and with the Nduna pride still well fed, we stayed in the night.
The video clip for today is that of the lions killing the buffalo cow a couple of nights ago. It sure is tough stuff to watch and many might think it needs to be PG rated. But it’s reality and I don’t think we should hide this from our kids.
This is an unedited clip and went on in this way for some 20 minutes before the buffalo cow died. Not unusual for the King of Beasts to kill, or rather ‘take their time to kill’, in this manner. The young lioness left with the task of delivering the killing bite just couldn’t get her mouth over the buffalo’s mouth to suffocate her. Presumably the lioness couldn’t get through the buffalo’s thick hide to strangle her throat. Eventually the buffalo actually succumbed with the others feeding on her alive.
It may be real life but I never can get used to watching. I much prefer the ways of the leopard and cheetah. One predator against his or her prey. Or even the quick dispatch of the wild dogs or hyenas.
Hi Kim,
Is it true that wild dogs almost tear apart their prey in minutes…..and the prey can actually see itself being torn apart for quite some time before dying…..
I’ve seen some wild dog killings on the National geographic,it seemed very ruthless…
Raj.
I was just imagining the pain. Your video was 3 minutes? I could not watch for 20 min.
I still prefer leopards and cheetahs.
Wild dogs might tear their prey apart while it’s dying but it’s dead in about a minute. Not the 20minutes it takes lions to kill while the others are feeding on it.
Wild dogs kill even faster than cheetah and leopard which take 5 to 10 minutes to kill their prey. Although it might not look as gruesome as the dogs killing.
Ivanova: those toads will call ALL night. Arthur’s quite the dude!!!
Make you feel sad but that life in the jungle!
This is what survival of the fittest is all about I guess…

It’s the best time to make some plans for the future and it is time to be happy. I have read this post and if I could I desire to suggest you few interesting things or suggestions. Perhaps you could write next articles referring to this article. I want to read more things about it!
Property solicitors are solicitors, which we would almost all require at some point during our life time. This is because property solicitors mainly deal with conveyancing transactions. Conveyancing refers to the sale or purchase of a property and is the transfer of legal title usually from the seller to the buyer. Although, the transaction is a little more complex than that. However, if you do not choose a reliable and experiences property lawyer then you may come unstuck later on in the transaction. For example, some property solicitors mat not communicate enough with their clients and poor communication can lead to confusion and unwanted stress.
This was a actually quite superior post. In theory I’d prefer to write like this also - getting time and actual effort to make a excellent piece of writing… but what can I say… I procrastinate alot and by no means appear to obtain something done.
Wonderful idea! himself face foward pending echo the articles!
No it`s OVOMIT.
How is it that just anyone can publish a weblog and get as popular as this? Its not like youve said something incredibly impressive –more like youve painted a fairly picture through an issue that you know nothing about! I dont want to sound mean, here. But do you definitely think that you can get away with adding some fairly pictures and not really say something?
