7 members of the Nduna pride downed a buffalo calf. It's cries bring back the herd. The lions try to hang on to their prize but are chased off by the buffalo several times. The calf's mother comes to its assistance and amazingly after being under lion tooth and claw for 10 minutes the calf gets up and follows its mother. Daily action live from the bus on Wildcast.net
It was now 22 hours later and the buffalo bull the lions attacked yesterday was still alive. With the bull downed a lion feeds at its rump but when the pain becomes too much the buffalo rallies and gets to his feet but only barely. The lion hangs on and realising he isn't getting anywhere goes for the buffalo's achilles tendon downing the bull again. Will he survive another 22 hours?
A pack of hyaenas march on a wild dog den and the wild dogs take the battle to the hyaenas. But soon realising their pups are safe the wild dogs back off.
This battle of the beasts has lasted over 20minutes and this is the last few. The bull is down but not out, but has he got enough to free himself? Finally the lion goes in for the kill but he under-estimates the bulls will to survive as the bull tosses him away. The lion leaves but later in the night they finished off the deed.
Wild dogs have learnt that if they chase impala onto the boundary fence they have a much better chance of catching them and this evening they caught 2 male impala right next to each other on the fenceline.
In the little time Manyari has to herself she grooms and collapses exhausted. She's hardly rested and the male is on to her, this time missing the mark. He waits till she arouses and they mate, the male again up to his tap-dancing antics. Their rest is shortlived when the brother comes running in. He is quickly intercepted by the mating male and kept away from Manyari.
In the throws of giving birth the calf is coming out all wrong. The mother tries desperately to give birth but in 3 hours there is no change. The calf appears to be dead. Now to survive the cow needs to rid herself of the foetus. Will she make it?
Wild dogs take on a warthog. The first I've seen. And the first the pups had seen which made them really nervous. Eventually they tucked in pushing the adults away.
King and beast continue to struggle. The lion manages to get the buffalo down, so will he now go for the jugular and a quick death? He looks more intent on eating the buffalo alive. Will the buffalo die of shock or actually free itself?
Less than a year old, the CUTEST little elephant calf was going absolutely wild in a mud wallow. And once everyone had left he slipped and slid not able to get out sliding back into the 'melting pot of mud'. Tried again, with lots of slipping and sliding and eventually made it out.
