BBC NEws: Thursday, 9 August 2007, 12:23 GMT 13:23 UK A clip from the YouTube video The footage has already been watched by nearly 9.5m people An amateur video of an amazing animal confrontation on the African savannah is fast becoming one of the biggest hits on video-sharing website YouTube.
The footage first shows how several lions attack a group of buffalo, snatching a buffalo calf.
As the lions wrestle with a calf by a watering hole, a crocodile joins in the battle, pouncing on the buffalo.
The lions win the tug-of-war, but then the buffalo herd returns, chasing away the lions and freeing the calf.
'Battle at Kruger'
The eight-minute-long footage - filmed in South Africa's Kruger National Park - shows how a big buffalo from the herd gores one of the lions and tosses it in the air.
The buffalo calf is then seen running away to rejoin the herd, while the lions are forced to retreat.
It remains unclear if the calf survived the ordeal.
Almost 9.5m people have already watched the video, dubbed the Battle at Kruger, which was filmed by US tourist Dave Budzinski while he was on a guided safari.
The footage is the envy of professional wildlife snappers, who might be marvelling at Mr Budzinski's luck.
He told ABC News that he used his video camera "once a year" and was not "adept at this sort of thing".
"I'm not a camera person. I'm just lucky to have it!"
His safari guide Frank Watts told ABC: "I have never seen anything like that in my life before".
The Japanese have taken Tetris to an all new level of awesomeness using real people and cut out silhouettes in moving walls. It makes sense when you see the video. Their bloody mad..
When the first Halo came out, it redefined what gaming was all about - fun, friendships and a lot of bitch-slapping (in the nicest possible way). Now Halo 3 is nearly upon us and it is set to drive the xbox360 to new gains over PS3. Let the battle begin!. i only bought the xbox to play Halo amongst my physical and virtual friends. (not its not sad - there's a huge network out there on XBOX LIVE.
If u don't already know , the gaming industry takes home more $$$ than Hollywood and their self-sanctified stars...
Youtube below shows the in-depth WIP of HAlo 3 multiplayer...the best gaming in the world - bubble shields and landmines..i am in heaven!
A shark goes on a woman in the Bahamas. At the ultimate she's saved by a dolphin that's clearly protecting this woman from maybe a shark bite. We'll never know. The tiger shark has been confirmed by a scientific in Hawaii and one in the Bahamas. Once again what is interesting here is NOT what the shark could have done, but what the dolphin did : Protecting an human. It have been confirmed by a dolphin comportementalist.
"ok so the english is really bad from this french guy but what scares the hell out of me is how inquisitive that TIGER shark was on snorkellers." -Ian

30 Rock actor Alec Baldwin has addressed a leaked answering machine rant he left for his 11-year-old daughter - by refusing to speak about it. Tmz.com leaked the three-minute message on the internet yesterday after Baldwin's visitation rights for his daughter Ireland were temporarily suspended by a California judge. In the taped rant, the actor blasted his daughter for failing to pick up her phone when he called her from New York at a designated time. Baldwin's lawyer, Viki Roberts, told Tmz.com, "Whatever happened yesterday was sealed and confidential. What you're telling me you've got you shouldn't have." But now his spokesperson claims his ex-wife Kim Basinger leaked the tape to the media. He says, "The mother and her lawyer leaked this sealed material in violation of a court order. Although Alec acknowledges that he should have used different language in parenting his child, everyone who knows him privately knows what he has been put through for the past six years." The spokesperson adds, "In the best interest of the child, Alec will do what the mother is pathologically incapable of doing - keeping his mouth shut and obeying the court order."
