Injured animals usually don't last long in the wild unless they've got backup. Just as lions are going in for the kill on this poor buffalo at South Africa's Timbavati Private Nature Reserve, in charges his entire herd to the rescue! Even ranger-in-training Oliver Lane's shocked at the impressive and unusual show of teamwork.

These dueling stags prove the dangers of tunnel vision in a fight—they never saw the wire fence until they were completely tangled up! Fortunately, some helpful New Zealanders nearby volunteer to help sort out the mess.
