Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

This is an evolutionary social prejudice. More is achieved by cooperation then by simply out competing. Your body is made of trillions of cells which engaged in mutually beneficial symbiosis to create a being of much higher complexity.

No I think the buffaloed buffalo in this gif buffaloed a different buffalo(who I heard is also from Buffalo) and the buffaloing buffalo observed this buffaloing and decided to buffalo the buffalo from Buffalo back because the buffalo that buffaloed in the gif was buffaloed as a young buffalo in Buffalo.

No, let the lesson today be that all animals are like this, it's not just the human condition. Animals are not some magical creatures who lack any selfishness. Animals do not lack the worst features of humanity. They posess all of them, but simply lack the intellect to inflict them on others on the same scale.

Remember this the next time a vegetarian tells you how special animals are. Remember this, and take a big huge bite out of a burger. It was you or that fucking cow.

Wow guys, quit hating on the second bison!

The first one was obviously fighting a losing battle from the outset and the hit was obviously accidental. If anything, Bison #2 was trying to butt the wolves.

[–]justanothercommenter 19 points20 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

the hit was obviously accidental.

Pfft. That was deliberate. The older bison knows what's up. That's how he got to BE older.

[–]Merkwurdichliebe 4 points5 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I think #2 was trying to knock #1 away from the wolves. I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time.

[–]innervision 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yep. It looks like that to me. Buffalos are known to protect each other, so it'd be quite weird that one of them decides to kill another for 'personal' profit. Probably buttheading #1 wasn't the greatest idea, but well... buffalo logic.

[–]dastardly_villain 0 points1 point ago

It is in an episode of the series Frozen Planet. One of the episodes in the second half of the series I believe. The entire chase with these guys is just awesome, although this clip was definitely the trophy of the sequence.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Nope first or second episode - I watched these two yesterday and I saw this sequence, haven't watched the other episodes yet.

[–]crunchyeyeball 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

IMHO, the best scene was the one-on-one between the lone bison and the lone female wolf in the same episode.

Possibly the most moving piece of filming I've ever seen - the instant they peeled off it was obvious it would be a fight to the death, and it wasn't clear which would survive.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago*

the big one ran the small one over and broke his neck by doing so, to not make him suffer more cause the wolves would have gotten him anyways.. and to try to make the wolves stop chasing the rest of the herd

IIRC that was what they said in that documentary

[–]sternhelden 21 points22 points ago

Having actually seen that documentary ("Frozen Planet") that comment is a lie. They specifically say that he's tripping up the small one to spare others in the herd.

I can't remember exactly, I'll go home and watch it again. I know that wasn't said though a) because it hasn't been posted anywhere else (and people love that sentimental shit) and b) it's pretty unlikely herbivores in panic mode (stampede where the young and sick often get trampled) running head down would show that level of calculation/empathy.

[–]eyeoft 3 points4 points ago

Not without getting seriously hurt. And it's not as if they have buffalo hospitals where it could go to get its wounds treated. It might die later of infection or blood loss.

[–]ChicagoRunner -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

well I mean, if it could easily plow that bison, it could have plowed four wolves and injured them who in turn would have died from their injuries.

[–]BATMAN-cucumbers -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It would have plowed several wolves, while those it missed proceeded to inflict damage that would most likely lead to later death.

[–]ChicagoRunner 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

but those wolves would have died. There is a cost/benefit analysis done by the wolves. With many of their comrades down and immobile they would have just eaten them.

Planet Earth is much better in my opinion, if only for the fact that there is more variety. As far as quality and production and the rarity of the things you see in either show, they are both heads and shoulders above just about anything else.

This appears to be a great example of the panic that arises in a stampede. I'll bet the larger bison was also just following the path (as cattle often do), resulting in the smaller bison being bowled over.

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Here's the problem, you're assuming everyone is on reddit at the same time, viewing the same things and frequents it as regularly as you.

In reality, reddit has global visitors, all kinds of different timezones, all kinds of various people that check it out infrequently.

Because of this, something that is popular gets shared and upvoted by entirely different people, while you may be on reddit all the time and see reposts everywhere others are seeing things for the first time and would most definitely have missed out without that repost due to reddits page filtering system.

Don't waste your effort, use the downvote and autohide to get rid of seeing it, calling out reposts will only lose you karma and expose you as being oblivious to the international status of reddit.

[–]sandiego20y 0 points1 point ago

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

You're still missing the point, what you call reposts are new content to people with a few hours of time difference.

Bitching about it is a waste of effort, it doesn't even have much to do with karma.

Nerd Rage

The phrase "survival of the fittest" is not generally used by modern biologists as the term does not accurately convey the meaning of natural selection, the term biologists use and prefer. Natural selection refers to differential reproduction as a function of traits that have a genetic basis. "Survival of the fittest" is inaccurate for two important reasons. First, survival is merely a normal prerequisite to reproduction. Second, fitness has specialized meaning in biology different from how the word is used in popular culture. In population genetics, fitness refers to differential reproduction. "Fitness" does not refer to whether an individual is "physically fit" – bigger, faster or stronger – or "better" in any subjective sense. It refers to a difference in reproductive rate from one generation to the next.

An interpretation of the phrase "survival of the fittest" to mean "only the fittest organisms will prevail" (a view sometimes derided as "Social Darwinism") is not consistent with the actual theory of evolution.

You don't have to be the fastest. Just faster than the Bison behind you.

There's something about the buffalo victim doing the somersault that looks fake. Like it doesn't have the proper weight.

Is this sped up some, maybe?

I know! Buffalos can only do somersaults on customized trampolines.

Maybe it was a stunt buffalo specially trained to do somersaults? Or maybe it's just physics and it was a smaller buffalo being smashed by a huge buffalo.

While I wasn't saying the mere fact of the somersault made it look fake or weird, but rather the way in which it actually looks, I applaud you for the response.

I like the cut of your jib, soldier. Have an upvote.
