While on a safari in Tanzania, we saw 7 lions - 4 lionesses and 3 young males - take down and begin eating a Cape buffalo over the course of 3 hours. The buffalo had a buddy who came to the rescue several times, but eventually had to give up. This is the second of 4 short videos showing the attacks, rescue, feeding frenzy, and vain attempts to escape.

http://youtu.be/J9mshUtTQc4 10:10 AM - Buffalo manages to get up, in spite of feeding lions
http://youtu.be/TnBGPy-AAB4 10:17 AM - One last time, buffalo manages to get up briefly. Flock of crowned cranes fly over.

We all thought the following fun to watch. One of several Serengeti lions resting in a tree, falls out of the tree, after vainly trying to hang on for a few seconds. No harm done:

And here is an unbelievable number of hippos in a small pond. I cannot imagine how dirty that water must have been.

Later in the afternoon we returned to the site of the kill. One of the lions walked over to the Land Rover, looking for shade, apparently having had his fill of buffalo. Here is a video of the lion walking around our Land
