http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/channel/ET/popup/200708202300.htmlThroughout Africa, cape buffalos generally seek out and attack lions but recently they are becoming more and more violent toward humans. What is causing an animal known as "Black Death" to become more aggressive toward us? NGC investigates these disturbing outbreaks of brutality, probes the details of this animal behavior, and provides firsthand eyewitness accounts from those close to the attacks.
I heard it was fantastic!!

almostacowboyI wonder if this is a rerun of a previously aired show? It attributed so many human-like mental attributes to buff's that it had me wondering if maybe we shouldn't list them as a quasi-terrorist group!

Idaho Sharpshooterfascinating show, if just to see Nick Atchison and his wife recount the story of the buff she wounded return the favor. She looks like the buff hit her face on at about 80mph. Some great shots of what looked like 45+"-ers.

Yes, I've seen it 3 times. Nikki and Keith followed up her recovery to return and hunt Buffalo in Zimbabwe with Zambezi Hunters (Johnathan Hulme, David's Brother). I have 3 hunts for Buff left for OCT/NOV of this year in the same area with them. LDK

Every morning the Zebra wakes up knowing it must outrun the fastest Lion if it wants to stay alive. Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running......
"If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you."

Where is the evidence of this?

WillProbably because of global warming!
PBS, NBC, etc. are famous for starting with a premise and "proving it," no matter how absurd.
Nikki was hardly the first; won't be the last. Probably likes the camera.

GraftonI saw this show. Goes to show that the people at NGC have a strange view/lack of understanding of animal behavior. Some of the things they came up with to explain the attacks are truly bizarre.
However, it is a good reference film for taxidermists, with some good close ups of buffalo.

Be without fear in the face of your enemies. Be brave and upright, that God may love thee. Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death. Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong;

ShowbartWhat Grafton, NitroX and Will said! Ive seen it and buff haven't changed they've just found a new adversary. The fuckwit PHDs anthropomorphosize their way into a deep hole with anybody with who has 2 rocks in their head. This biggest clusterfuck of it all was that this girl got her ass stomped on the PH's watch. She should have been hunting with Mark Sullivan. Then it wouldn't hurt so much when she gets out of bed in the morning, only when she looks in her wallet!
