[–]dangoodspeed 5 points6 points ago

You know the big bison and the wolves had some kind of backroom deal going on. He wanted the smaller bison gone, and the wolves were like "you give him to us, and we'll leave you alone". It was a win-win for him.

[–]notbob1959 7 points8 points ago

Sorry. I wasn't trying to snub the BBC. Since there was no audio, I couldn't tell who the narrator was so I couldn't tell which broadcast it was from and I chose the one with the bigger video. Here is the link to the BBC video that I found.

[–]DoctorDank 3 points4 points ago

It's actually a partnership between the two.

[–]SavageFromSpace 19 points20 points ago

The discovery channels participation was for editing the foreign release, all filming was done by the BBC natural history team

[–]NoNeedForAName 30 points31 points ago

So what you're saying is that it was a partnership between the two.

It's probably for the best. It was slowly being killed anyway.

[–]Ceejae 2 points3 points ago

I'm quite curious from anyone that knows a lot about bison (or similar) behaviour, is it likely that he did this on purpose to save himself? Or he was just charging along and things turned out that way? It looks like he lowers his head for the charge.

[–]Squishumz 1 point2 points ago

At first I was like "Hahaha, stupid buffalo," but then the wolves started to go to town, which tends to put a damper on the funny.

I actually couldn't imagine that buffalo getting away from those wolves even if it wasn't run over by the other buffalo. Looking at how fast it was going, the wolves were already on it.

I remember watching something about how the males are ruthlessly competitive. If one male sees that a higher ranking male is injured or weakened, it will likely kill it and/or even mount it to show dominance.

after seeing this pop up across many months, i finally came to the realization that the big bison did that on purpose. he could've just side stepped it and even taken out a few wolves but he didn't. he knew that the wolves would stop chasing if they got something.

As bad as that looks, I think that was an amazing display of mercy in nature. Instead of letting that Bison suffer longer than it needed to as it tried to feebly out run the wolves, he just head butts the crap out of him to bring certain death to a timely end.

He isn't being an arsehole he is just shortening the length of the bison calfs suffering. Pretty sure this is a clip from David Attenbrough's Frozen planet documentary in which the calf was bitten before this clip starts, it was already hurting and death was certain.
