I have an idea for a new thread...

[Gen]

Two things come to mind:

1. It lifted the SUV quite a bit with that hit and used very little run-up to get there.

2. Lions are pretty tough, being able to take one of those down.

Yep.. the male lion makes his appearance when it comes to taking a buffalo down, that of course after the lionesses have tired it out and separated it from the heard...don't want to take on a Buffalo when it has friends around... it is a struggle and not always successful...

 

Teamwork takes a lot of it to successfully take one down

They say a buffalo looks at you like you owe it money...

those are farking big and farking scary animals First time I saw one I was paddling down the Zambezi in a 2 man Indian canoe a few meters from the bank where the buffaloes were grazing. I always thought a buffalo was the size of a cow but fark me they are huge.

 

Been there, done that awesomeness. A game drive is one thing. Paddling on the Zam, avoiding the hippocrocoducks, coming up close to the ellies and buffaloes is something totally different. You feel very small and vulnerable.

 

My GF and I were the only clients on the canoe safari, so we had our own private guide. On one of the islands he took us on a walking safari up to the ellies in the reeds as the wind was in our favour. I had an 18 mm lens on my film camera and we got so close the head did not fit in the frame.

 

The other memorable moment was an unseen hippo, grazing in the daytime on an elevated river bank, out of our viewpoint from the canoe. The hippo got a fright, thundered to the river and did a swan dive from height into the river. Right above us, as we were paddling hugging the bank. So we can claim to be one of the few people to have seen the underside of a hippo..... That was scary, we paddled like crazy to get the hell away from him.

 

Cool memory refresh - thanks.

Secondly, there’s a possibility that Julius Malema is pushing expropriation without compensation simply because he wants to get his cabbage farm back. It was auctioned off by the asset forfeiture unit in 2013 to pay his tax debt. Pouring salt in the wound, a white Afrikaner snapped it up.

In 20 years’ time, we will look back at the smouldering wreck that was once our economy, shake our heads sadly and say, “Bloody cabbages.”

 

 

 

now it all makes sense

More than a few canoes got hippo jnr landing in the middle and breaking them in Mana and Lower Zambezi.  When it came to avoidance in the water guides always said best plan was to separate couples into different canoes. Nothing breaks up a marriage quite as fast as the "whos fault is it that we are heading for that hippo" argument.

I took my daughter when she was 15 on a weeks mokoro safari in the Delta.

One day we tracked a herd of 100 plus Buff and one fell asleep behind a large bush away from the herd.We were of course between him and the herd.Groot ***.

Mock charged us and broke away when at the most 3m from us.

My daughter was treated like a hero when we got back to Oddballs

#BikeThievesSuck We got hit last night, but luckily damage and loss is pretty minimal. If you see a Revved Smash with green decals and an orange Fox 36 fork for sale, let us know. It's a beta prototype, so not many of 'em out there.

a buffalo wakes up stupid angry, and just more pissed off as the day goes on
