A buffalo smashed into a safari vehicle during a desperate attempt to flee from some hungry lions, and it was captured on video.
A group of safari-goers were on tour observing a pride of lions when a buffalo sprinted out onto the road with a lioness in tow. Two other lions then appear, surrounding the buffalo as the large male tries to bring the beast down with repeated bites to the animal’s hind end.
The buffalo circles frantically as the big cats continue the pursuit. The animal then becomes extremely disoriented and smashes right into a nearby safari vehicle.
Lucky for him, this seemed to spook the lions enough that the pride backs off, offering him an opportunity to make a run for it.
Lions are undeniably some of the savanna’s most effective predators, but even these guys struggle to take down such a sizable buffalo. While lions do commonly kill and eat the grazers, it’s generally a concerted effort between an entire pride, and it’s no easy feat. Buffalo are extremely strong and robust, and are capable of successfully defending themselves against (and sometimes killing) any lions that attempt to take them down.
African buffaloes are colossal creatures, and are widely regarded as some of the most dangerous animals on the continent. In fact, these animals can weigh up to a ton and will trample, gore, and kill an estimated 200 people every year. And it’s not just their size, either; The buffalo’s horns are fused at the base, which forms a continuous bone “shield” across the top of the head. You really don’t want to be head-butted by one.
You’ve heard that it can be a dog-eat-dog world, but looks like we can call it a croc-eat-croc world too.
Incredible footage captures the moment a saltwater crocodile chomps down on a freshwater crocodile.
The amazing sighting was caught on camera from a helicopter in northwestern Australia by tour guide Lynden James and posted to HeliSpirit’s Facebook page.
Despite their names, it’s not entirely shocking that these two animals ran into each other in the same body of water. Both the saltwater crocodile and the freshwater crocodiles can lurk and live in either fresh water or salt water.
While the footage of this near cannibalism may seem shocking, crocodiles are known to attack other crocodiles for a variety of reasons. These can be anything from an effort to control the population, assert dominance or establish territory.
Unfortunately for smaller, more vulnerable animals, crocodiles are known to be even more aggressive during mating season. Research shows this aggression starts as early as hatchlings emerge from their eggs.
Despite the intensity that a croc vs croc battle might inspire, it should be no surprise that the saltwater crocodile came out on top appearing to be the victor. After all, the saltwater crocodile is the world’s largest living reptile and boasts the world’s most powerful bite force. Saltwater crocs can chomp down at an impressive 700 pounds per square inch or 16,460 newtons.
Either way, you wouldn’t want to find yourself face to face with any crocodile – whether it was saltwater or freshwater.
A squirrel narrowly escaped certain death by bobcat in an exciting chase filmed from a Florida patio.
The footage was captured by Michelle Kloese at her home in Southerwestern Florida city of Punta Gorda.
“Woke up to a bobcat chasing a squirrel on our lanai screen!” Kloese wrote in a Facebook post.
A massive tiger shark with a tuna lodged in its mouth was caught on camera in some incredible — and unusual — footage from the big blue.
One marine biologist commented that it is likely the shark is “being full and lazy. The crush force of his bite is PLENTY to crush the tuna skull…it just doesn’t want to yet.”
Another possible explanation is that there may have been a fishing hook associated with the tuna, and the fish became lodged in the shark’s mouth along with the hook.
One study conducted in Tahiti found that nearly 40 percent of all tiger sharks in the region had fishing hooks embedded inside their bodies, or had one or more attached to their skin.
Longlines, fishing lines which extend for miles, are commonly used by fishermen to catch profitable fish like tuna and swordfish. On them, a single fishing line is cast out with anywhere from several dozen to several thousand hooks on it. When sharks chomp on a fish attached to one of the lines, they can sometimes break free; However, this leaves many of the predators with corrodible or stainless steel hooks embedded in their skin, mouths, and possibly even their stomachs. This can lead to serious health problems, like necrosis and internal bleeding.
Some stainless steel hooks can stay embedded for at least 7 years, possibly up to a lifetime; corrodible hooks are generally shed within 2.5.
We can only hope that this shark was being lazy, and there were no fishing hooks involved.

Check out the photo below from a classic Australian sighting: Brutus, a massive saltwater crocodile from Australia’s Adelaide River, devouring a bull shark.
Sharks and crocodiles are parts of the natural world of Australia. In another incredible sighting filmed down under, a massive crocodile was filmed holding a turtle in its jaws as it swam in the water, followed closely by sharks.
The epic footage was shot from above by a drone operated by Alan Withers, who was enjoying a day at the beaches of Garig Gunak Barlu National Park in Northern Australia when he spotted the epic sight.
It was an apex predator showdown on the banks of the Pantanal, as a jaguar fights to take down the region’s most formidable snake.
The prey is an anaconda: a heavy-duty, muscular constrictor built to take down animals by squeezing them to death. This particular anaconda may look small, but these tenacious snakes — even at this size — are forces to be reckoned with.
The snake put up a good fight, but in the end the jaguar was able to overpower the constrictor. The big cat was rewarded with a sizable meal for its efforts.
Spotting a jaguar hunting in the wild is a treat in itself; seeing one wrestle an anaconda — and capturing it on camera — is a once-in-a-lifetime thrill. In many regions, jaguar populations are decreasing and sightings are becoming less and less common. Poaching, poisoning, and habitat loss are to blame.
These two top predators coexist in the Pantanal, the largest tropical wetland on the planet spanning an estimated 75,000 square miles across Brazil, Bolivia, and Paraguay. The region is a biodiversity hotspot and host to one of the world’s most robust jaguar populations, making it one of the best places to spot the big cats. Giant otters, cabybaras (the world’s largest rodent), ocelots, giant anteaters, and the biggest parrot on Earth also call this unique place home.
Shark versus Gator. It sounds like a battle for the ages. And while it’s a fascinating predator on predator match up, in reality this is an extremely rare occurrence.
But we know it’s happened at least once.
In a video taken off the coast of South Carolina in the aptly named Skull Creek, an alligator is seen swimming with a shark – most likely a small bonnethead – held tight in its jaws. Skull Creek, a part of the Intracoastal Waterway, is a saltwater body of water along the Atlantic coast that is rich with marine life.
You’re more likely to see a crocodile prowling this saltwater creek as alligators spend most of their time in fresh water ecosystems. But alligators are known to venture into brackish (water with a higher salinity than freshwater but less than seawater) sounds if they are in need of a meal. Alligators (like sharks) are opportunistic predators and will do whatever it takes to get a meal and eat whatever they can get their teeth into.
However, their time is limited in these waters. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association, alligators are only capable of tolerating saltwater for hours, or even days at most.
They lack salt glands that pump high concentrations of sodium and other seawater ions out of their bodies. Young alligators have an especially hard time in saltwater, but the thicker skin of older alligators may provide better tolerance.
So it’s likely that this specific gator, who the locals have named Charlie, is on the older side. He’s known to lurk about in the summer as boats come in and fishermen clean their catch off the docks.
Watch:
Watch the video below to see another shark suffer a similar fate, this time filmed in Australia. In this case, a fisherman caught a small shark, only to lose his catch to a hungry croc!
Bartolomeo Bove and his friend Juca Yagarape came face to face with a giant green anaconda, measuring 23 foot (7m) and weighting in around 198 lbs. (90 Kgs) The two friends were diving in the Formoso river in Brazil, in July when they came in to contact with this giant reptile.
In the video, the giant snake is seen lying in the river bed. When it sees the camera, the reptile eyes the camera up close, flicking its tongue, and then the snake swims away from the camera. Wanting to get more footage of the giant snake, Bove follows it.
And he did get some amazing footage of the giant reptile. He says that his video shows that anacondas are often misunderstood in terms of being aggressive; he says that anacondas are not as aggressive as they are thought to be.
“The rivers and the bodies of water around the Bonito area are the only places in South America here anacondas can be found in crystal clear waters, and therefore diving with them is possible.” Explained Bove.
“As shown in the footage, the anaconda swims calm and peaceful completely indifferent to our presence. Sometimes she comes closer, curious about my camera, licking the lens.”
“The behavior of the anaconda debunks the myth that it is an aggressive and violent creature that can endanger people’s lives,” Bove added.
The green anaconda is the biggest species of snake in the world and can grow up to 30ft long (9.1 meters) and weight 550 lbs (250 Kg) These amazing king snakes are actually as magnificent as they are made out to be in popular movies.
They move really fast, killing their prey by constricting its breathing, wrapping their giant and equally powerful bodes around the prey. They can swallow preys much larger than themselves thanks to their ability to unhinge their jaws.
Below is the footage captures by Bove. If you are ready to get your mind blown, scroll down and click on the video. It will make you wish you were born in Brazil!
A rare Greenland shark that washed up on a U.K. beach could be at least 100 years old, but experts aren’t sure why it became stranded.
The dead shark was first spotted on the sand in Newlyn Harbour, Cornwall, on the southwest coast of England, on March 13. But before experts could examine it, the tide came in and took the carcass back out to sea, according to Cornwall Wildlife Trust(opens in new tab) Twitter posts.
The shark was then rediscovered floating off the coast of Cornwall on March 15 by a recreational boating company called Mermaid Pleasure Trips and was brought back to shore. Greenland sharks are rarely sighted in the U.K., and this is the country’s second recorded Greenland shark stranding.
“Even though it’s a sad event when these beautiful, spectacular animals do strand on our beaches, it’s such a valuable opportunity for us to study them,” Abby Crosby, a marine conservation officer who manages the marine strandings network at the Cornwall Wildlife Trust, told Live Science.

Greenland sharks (Somniosus microcephalus) live in the Arctic and North Atlantic oceans up to 8,684 feet (2,647 meters) below the surface, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature(opens in new tab) (IUCN). A 2016 study published in the journal Science estimated that these sharks could live at least 272 years, but scientists still have much to learn about the elusive species.
The shark that washed up in Cornwall was a juvenile female that measured 13 feet (4 m) long and weighed 628 pounds (285 kilograms). Although researchers have yet to determine the shark’s age, Greenland sharks typically become sexually mature when they’re around 150 years old, according to the 2016 study. The animals continue to grow as they age, and adults can be up to 24 feet (7.3 m) long, according to the St. Lawrence Shark Observatory(opens in new tab) (ORS).
James Barnett, a veterinary pathologist from the Cornwall Marine Pathology Team, carried out a postmortem of the shark on March 16 for the Cetacean Strandings Investigation Programme (CSIP), a national program that partners with Cornwall Wildlife Trust’s Marine Strandings Network.
“It looked like it probably live-stranded,” Barnett told Live Science. In other words, the shark was still alive when it washed up, and it died on the beach. “It obviously hadn’t eaten for some time,” Barnett said. “The stomach was totally empty.”
Barnett noted that the shark showed possible signs of septicemia, an infection in the blood, but it’s not yet clear why the shark wasn’t eating and ended up in shallow waters off Cornwall. There are a variety of reasons, including disease, that can explain why marine animals become stranded and die on beaches, but the movement of ocean currents and other marine conditions also play a part in bringing living and dead animals to shore.
“The majority of our strandings are common dolphins and porpoises, and they would have all died within a kilometer [0.6 mile] of our coastline, if that,” Crosby said. Because Greenland sharks usually swim far from the coast, the likelihood of one being swept in by the right current and weather conditions is really rare, she added.
Barnett said this is the first time a Greenland shark has been given a necropsy in the U.K., to his knowledge. “They are a species that we just don’t encounter,” he said. Samples taken from the shark will help inform Greenland shark research, such as studies investigating their life history and diet, Rob Deaville, project manager for CSIP at the Zoological Society of London, said in a statement.
Snake enthusiast Jamie Guarino insisted that his 14-month-old daughter was in no danger from the giant snake
This is the shocking moment a 13ft python wrapped itself around a toddler’s head – while her father watched on.
Snake enthusiast Jamie Guarino, from Walled Lake, Detroit, America, insisted that his 14-month-old daughter Alyssa was in no danger from their giant ten-year-old pet snake Nay-Nay at the time.
Although the video was shot six years ago, the debate over it has reignited after it was shared on Facebook on Monday by Beast Buddies, a media channel that showcases owners obsessed with their exotic pets.
Mr. Guarino said that he released the video to challenge people’s perceptions of snakes and to prove that human fears of them are often irrational.
“I was showing the simple fact that snakes are not evil creatures,” he said in the video.
“They can be a loving pet despite their bad reputation. My daughter was absolutely in no danger.”
“There are 95% more dog attacks than snake attacks,” he says in the video.
“When people see this clip they mostly react with fear or negativity and I don’t understand why because as you can see the snake is just roaming around and has no interest in biting her, choking her, or swallowing her,” he continued.
“This is an embedded fear and I think people are brainwashed.”
Mr. Guarino and another daughter of his called Krista run SnakeHunters TV, a YouTube Channel dedicated to changing perceptions about snakes.
People took to social media comment on the video.
Jennifer L Moyer wrote: “That thing is measuring the weight and mass of this kid for a future meal but….that’s none of my business.”
But Jody Lord disagreed and wrote: “To all those saying this is bad, this is crazy this is an accident waiting to happen a responsible helper knows their snakes know their temperament this is no more dangerous than leaving your baby with a kitten oh wait sorry the kitten actually poses more of a threat than this snake, get over yourselves!”
However, Terria Jean Walters shared a shocking story of her own about a snake and wrote: “My ex-boyfriend had a python around the same size.
“Never killed because he would feed the snake chickens by dangling it over the snake’s head….he swore the snake wouldn’t hurt any animals because it was raised differently…
“I believed him… but one day while gone the snake got out of its tank and ate my cat. I freaked out… I wanted the snake gone. He refused and in the middle of the night, I got up to go used, the bathroom and saw the snake had gotten out again and was halfway in the hallway and halfway on my 2-year-olds crib…
“If I hadn’t gotten up my daughter could have been eaten. I moved out and obviously left the guy. These parents aren’t being smart at all. That snake is driven by instinct.”
This incredibly rare prehistoric shark made headlines not long ago, when researchers came across a specimen near the Portuguese coast. No one knows why this species has managed to survive for so long, but one thing’s for sure: the frilled shark does indeed look like it got stuck here from a different age.
According to the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, the frilled shark (Chlamydoselachus anguineus) is categorized as “Least Concern”, meaning that the species was evaluated at a lower risk of extinction. However, we don’t exactly know how many of them are left in the oceans. Since they are so rarely seen, it’s impossible to estimate their population status. In fact, scientists had not seen the shark in its natural habitat until 2004, despite it was discovered in the second half of the 19th century.
The frilled shark lives between 390 and 4,200 feet below the surface and, as with other deep-dwelling animals, this makes it much more difficult to encounter. Although they can be found in many different areas around the globe, their distribution seems to be “spotty”. Some of the areas where you may be able to see the frilled shark (if you can swim that deep) include the Suruga Bay in Japan, near the coasts of New Zealand and Australia, or in the Atlantic Ocean between Norway and Namibia.
The frilled shark is quite unusual compared to other sharks; it has more primitive traits and appearance (hence the name living fossil), with a long, slender body and a snake-like head. It isn’t a particularly good swimmer, and its bite force isn’t that strong either, but perhaps what distinguishes it most from all other shark species is its teeth. Its jaw is lined with hundreds and hundreds of backward-facing trident-shaped teeth, each forked into three nasty prongs. This setup helps the animal grasp and devour its prey in sudden lunges.
David A. Ebert, director of the Pacific Shark Research Center, had a literal firsthand experience with the nightmarish jaw of a frilled shark. – “I can tell you from snagging my fingers on the teeth, you can only back out one way and that’s in toward the mouth and then out. It didn’t feel good, I can tell you that.”
And those teeth aren’t only good for snagging prey, but also luring it. In contrast to the shark’s dark brown or grayish skin, “the bright teeth might serve as almost a lure to bring in prey items that see this light color,” he said. “And by the time they realize, Oh, that’s the teeth of a shark, they’re too close and the shark is able to ambush them at that point.”
“It’s almost like when you drive out of a parking lot exit and they have the spikes sticking out that say, ‘Do not back up,’” he added. “That’s kind of what happens when these things catch prey items.”
The sharks’ diet mostly consists of squids, bony fish, and occasionally, other sharks. Thanks to their very long jaws, they are able to eat prey that is larger than their own size.
On average, they measure between 3-5 feet, but their bodies can reach up to 6.4 feet long, with females being slightly longer. Scientists still have to learn a lot about the species, and so their lifespan is unknown, but they estimate that they can live up to 25 years.
In 2007, a frilled shark, captured by a Japanese fisherman at the surface of the water, was put on display in a marine park in Japan. Unfortunately, it died after only a couple of hours of captivity, which shows how fragile the creature is when it’s far from its natural habitat.
Interestingly, these animals hold the world record for the longest gestation period in the animal kingdom, with the length of 42 months. In comparison, the elephant, as a silver medalist, has a gestation period of only 18-22 months. The baby sharks develop inside the female, and they are only born once they are equipped to survive on their own. Through this method, the highly developed younglings have a better chance of surviving after being born.
Even though the shark is not at risk, according to the IUCN, over-fishing leads to a decrease in the available food for these sharks, and in most cases, they get tangled up in fishing webs, which can be a threat to the species. Especially because frilled shark babies take so long to develop, accidental bycatching of the female sharks can put a strain on their numbers.
Mother Nature has bestowed upon these predators a valuable ‘immune to ᴘᴏɪsᴏɴ’ gift, allowing them to k.i.l.l and consume d.e.a.dly snakes without fear.
Hedgehog porcupine – porcupine hedgehog
Hedgehog hedgehogs can k.i.l.l and devour a ᴠᴇɴᴏᴍᴏᴜs snake because they have a strong ᴠᴇɴᴏᴍ immunity (25 times more resistant to human ᴘᴏɪsᴏɴɪɴɢ) and a formidable armor full of spiky fur. When confronted with ᴅᴀɴɢᴇʀᴏᴜs snakes, the hedgehog coiled up, ruffled its sharp spikes, and struck, attempting to pierce the snake’s throat with its sharp teeth.
Mongoose (Mongoose)
The mongoose is a natural opponent of snakes because it has thick hair that can resist snake ᴘᴏɪsᴏɴs 20 times more than mice and the ability to rapidly escape, bite, and ᴀᴛᴛᴀᴄᴋ correctly with potent ᴠᴇɴᴏᴍ. They are capable of dispatching a 3m cobra snake. Although total immunity to ᴠᴇɴᴏᴍ is not attainable, the civet, like the honey bee badger, recovers if it is ʙɪᴛᴛᴇɴ by a snake and consumes the snake.
The honey badger is known in the natural world for being a ‘madman,’ with thick skin, immunity to ᴠᴇɴᴏᴍ, and strong teeth, they can ʜᴜɴᴛ ᴅᴀɴɢᴇʀᴏᴜs snakes even against a lion. Badger honey is the most dreaded adversary of d.e.a.dly snakes, as it is immune to all sorts of snake poisons. When hungry, the badger ‘honey’ devoured a 1.5-meter-long snake in less than 15 minutes.
Eagle (Circaetus)
The eagle is a carnivorous bird that feeds on other birds and snakes, especially ᴠᴇɴᴏᴍᴏᴜs snakes such as black mamba snakes. When the snake was discovered, eagles frequently struck from above into the serpent’s head, ɪɴᴊᴜʀɪɴɢ it with their keen claws. Although there is no immunity to snake ᴘᴏɪsᴏɴ, the speed with which an eagle ᴀᴛᴛᴀᴄᴋs frequently avoids snakes.
Armadillos Pangolin
Pangolin Armadillos is a kind of anteater with extremely hard and spiky scales. Even if you use a gun to fire the pangolin’s scales, the bullet will be deflected. Because of this advantage, the Armadillos can entirely use the hard-edged edge to sever the snake’s body and consume it.
A massive 1,500 lb Nile crocodile was seen devouring a shark in South Africa during a flood.
The incredible photos were captured by Mark Ziembicki, 46, from North Queensland, Australia, during a recent visit to South Africa.
The unusual encounter was caused by above-average rainfall in South Africa that led to flooding, which led to “an abundance of food for these predators at the mouth of river estuaries as freshwater species are washed down river into saline coastal waters,” Mark wrote in an Instagram post (below). “It also appears to provide ideal nursery and pupping sites for the bull sharks, with numerous young sharks sighted over the past weekend.”
The photos have erroneously been labeled as taken in Australia in some recent viral posts, as seen in the Reddit post shared below.
This is a Nile crocodile eating a a Zambezi shark pup, undoubtedly a South African sighting. However, we have seen sightings like this from Australia. Check out the photo below from a classic Australian sighting: Brutus, a massive saltwater crocodile from Australia’s Adelaide River, devouring a bull shark.
Sσmetimes, ρeσρle σνerlσσƙ feral cσlσnies because they thinƙ thσse cats will nσt haνe any interactiσn with humans. Hσweνer, feral cats are the reasσn fσr the σνerρσρulatiσn in terms σf this sρecies.

Tuffy the ƙitty, whσ haρρened tσ be a semi-feral cat, fσught bacƙ and fσrth fσr his saƙe. He is σne σf the examρles which deρict ρrecisely what a feral life wσuld lσσƙ liƙe. Thanƙfully, there was a ƙindhearted man whσ gaνe Tuffy a secσnd chance tσ enjσy a new chaρter in life.
Tuffy usually hid behind the bushes σf the man’s hσuse. ƙnσwing that there was a cat asƙing fσr fσσd, he started feeding him fσr a cσuρle σf mσnths. But the cat was getting weaƙer wheneνer the man saw him. The man immediately cσntacted νancσuνer σrρhan ƙitten Rescue Assσciatiσn (νσƙRA) after traρρing him intσ the carrier.

“Tuffy was always running and was νery hard tσ catch him, but the man was able tσ lure him intσ a carrier and cσntacted us.” – νσƙRA shared σn Facebσσƙ.
As yσu can see, Tuffy’s sinuses were swσllen because he had a cσld. Furthermσre, his eyes and σther ρarts were alsσ damaged.
“He let us clean his ears and eyes, giνe him the needed medicine and add antibiσtic eye cream.” – The staff σf νσƙRA said.
After seνeral weeƙs, Tuffy’s health was gingerly better. He was nσ lσnger afraid σf humans because he ƙnew that all the staff was there tσ helρ him σνercσme this tragedy. As time went by, Tuffy the ƙitty was mσre σρen tσ ρeσρle. He let them ρet him, wash his face, and giνe him σral antibiσtics tσ helρ him heal his cσld.
A lσt σf ρatience was taƙen, a lσt σf lσνe was giνen, Tuffy and the shelter bσnded firmly. The cat was ρleased tσ gσ σn the next steρ: neuter.
“As he arriνed at us cσνered in fleas with his fur entirely tangled, we shaνed the mats σff his bacƙ which seemingly made him feel much mσre satisfying.” – νσƙRA stated.
During Tuffy’s recσνery, νσƙRA had been uρdating his jσurney, and sσme caretaƙers σf feral cσlσnies recσgnized Tuffy. Turns σut, he was in the cσlσny fσr σνer 9 years and shared fσσd with σther cats.
“He wσuld always stay by the bushes and wait until the feral cats ate, after that he came and finished σff the fσσd. These caretaƙers hadn’t seen Tuffy fσr abσut a year, thσugh.” – The shelter wrσte.
Surρrisingly, Tuffy’s ρreνiσus cσlσny was σnly twσ blσcƙs away and acrσss the canyσn. He escaρed the cσlσny tσ the man’s hσuse and lucƙily, gσt saνed.

νσƙRA transferred Tuffy tσ ƙatie’s ρlace Rescue Shelter, a ρlace where σther ƙitties alsσ had FIν+, tσ stay. They equiρρed σutdσσr/ indσσr enclσsures sσ all the cats cσuld stay in their σwn carrier with great distance.
