I saw Ron Jeremy give himself head. That was dramatic.
The video of the guy getting sucked into a jet engine and living is at http://www.aviationexplorer.com/a6_engine_ingestion.htm
I like that site for a lot of videos.
Excellent example of natural selection.
That lizard will not be passing on its I-am-too-stupid-to-recognize-a-poisonous-frog genes.
Guess I have seen too many videos.
Lions vs Hyena: Mentioned. Awesome, becaus the male lions don’t seem to do shit, then bam!
Hornet Attack on bee hive: Mentioned.
Guy sucked into jet intake: Just weird to watch because it looks like he turns to liquid the way he gets slurped into the intake.
Croc vs Tiger: Link was posted by another doper in another thread. It is on Santoalt.com. I was going to post a link, but they seem to be doing maintenence on it.
Lion Pride lovin’: Documentary on lion prides. So these two young lions take over a pride, by chasing away the single old lion. They then proceed to kill all the cubs, to not waste time raising offspring that isn’t their own, and to force the females into estrus. Tough to watch, because it’s not clear if the cubs know what is happening to them. The lionesses give the young males the cold shoulder, because of the whole cub killing thing. Then the lionesses go in estrus, and they start actively flirting with the males. Walking by them, swishing their asses, slapping them in the face with their tails. Just weird.
AC130 Gunship: is the name of the file on my computer. It is a nightvision video of a gunship attack on a target. For those who don’t know, the AC130 is a propeller driven cargo plane with a gun sticking out the side. It could be a gatling gun or a howitzer. This one was a howitzer. Just devastation. You see guys trying to run or escape in vehicles, and it’s just a turkey shoot.
Maori Haka: Any haka video. There is just something about it that is so primal. Gets the blood pumping.
I’ve seen quite a few cool ones-
Praying mantis vs Scorpion: this seems cool because I could imagine either predator winning (and eating the loser). Seems the mantis had the edge on reflexes…damn those little bastards are fast!
Leopard vs baboon troop
This Leopard was chasing after a lone baboon, when over the ridge comes the rest of the troop. It was like that “chase after a guy, encounter army of guy’s buddies, run from guy” only with animals. The body language of the leopard was hilarious- at first it looked like it was going to take them on, then as they started to encircle the leopard it kind of had this look of hesitation and/or the kitty version of “oh shit”.
Wild boars, eating the corpses of lion cubs that had been deliberately trampled to death by elephants :eek: Seems elephants will trample predators’ offspring with the understanding that it will be less predators later on. Wow, nature sure can be a bitch sometimes.
For me, it’s got to be the killer whales coming onto the beach to snag seals. Holy cow.
I’m standing in the backyard when a hummingbird (male Rufous) buzzes by me on its way to the Crocosmia. It flits and sips for a few, then takes off over the high wooden fence. Couple houses away, there’s a Robin sitting on a phone line. I continue to watch the hummingbird as it flies, in a straight line, toward the robin. As I’m watching it, the hummingbird comes up from behind the robin, and slightly below, and pokes the robin in the ass with his beak. The robin jumped and squawked, like it had just been poked in the ass by a hummingbird, while the hummingbird when humming on its merry way.
Made me want to be sure ALWAYS to have a video camera with me.
The problem: Eight ton grey whale decomposing on an Oregon beach.
The solution: Blow it up with a half ton of dynamite.
The result: Exploding whale.
I would have to say that my top 3 would be :
-
a documentary about a gazelle (at least I think it was a gazelle) that was adopted by a lioness.
Her cub had just died and she raised this one as her own.
The other lions in her pack didn’t really care much for it.
After awhile the gazelle started getting weaker and weaker, because she didn’t get fed.
The lioness couldn’t take her eyes off of it, or it would be killed, so couldn’t hunt.
At the end of the documentary the lioness was dying of hunger and turned her back for just a second and the gazelle was killed by another lion.
It was a heartbreaking scene. -
The guy getting sucked into the jet engine, mentioned by some other people. Especially after they showed the clearance. That guy must come from a long line of contortionists.
-
A fight between a croc and an electric eel. The croc had a hard time getting out of that pool. It actually made me feel sorry for a croc, which aren’t the most sympathetic animals out there.
I personally witnessed Trevor McDonald mixing up the phrase “Kent countryside” live on News at Ten. That, my friends, is the stuff of legend.
Never rebroadcast. Occasionally I’ll meet a fellow witness, though, and we’ll drink to the memory of old Trev, bravely continuing the bulletin, his face barely betraying the knowledge that he’d just said the “c” word to the biggest news audience in Britain.
I know it’s been awhile, but I thought I’d add this one. The video is 100% safe for work, but I can’t guarantee the web site to be. I have ad-blocker and don’t see the ads on the site, so it may have adult ads.
