== Background ==
Taken from a small game viewer vehicle on the opposite side of the watering hole with a digital camcorder,〔A Canon ZR50MC MiniDV, as reported in ("You’ve Seen the YouTube Video; Now Try the Documentary" ), ''The New York Times,'' 10 May 2008〕 the video begins with the herd of African buffalos approaching the water, unaware that a small group of young lions with a single female adult are lying nearby.〔 The lioness crouches as the herd nears; it is uncertain if the lioness attacks first, or the lead buffalo becomes startled and turns to run, but the buffalos flee and the lions charge and disperse the herd, with the lioness picking off a buffalo calf, both of them falling into the water.〔 As the lions try to drag the buffalo out of the water, it is grabbed by a crocodile, who fights for it in a brief tug of war before giving up and leaving it to the lions. The lions lie down and prepare to feast, but the full buffalo herd approach and surround the lions. One of the lions is tossed into the air by the alpha male buffalo and the buffalo chases it away. The remaining lions are subsequently scattered and chased away soon after the initial engagement, and the baby buffalo escapes into the herd while a few lions remain surrounded by the buffalos. The buffalos then proceed to aggressively chase the remaining lions away.〔Bobbie Johnson ,("10m viewers for YouTube phenomenon" ), ''The Guardian'', 10 August 2007. Accessed 18 September 2007.〕
