The lions quickly surround the baby buffalo in the water, biting its neck in an effort to kill it. The lions eventually win and drag the buffalo on to dry land, where they settle down to tuck into a meal.
At this point, a large buffalo herd in formation slowly approaches the lions, and a couple of the braver males make charges at the lions. A group of buffalos then advances to touching distance of the lions, at which point — miraculously — the baby buffalo stands up and runs back into the herd, seemingly OK. The remaining lions are then chased off one by one, and the video ends.

Don't get me wrong, the eight minute video, shown as the conclusion, is the highlight of the show, but there is a nicely fleshed out back story with lots of information thrown in, including a step-by-step breakdown of the video. As one who had not previously viewed the Youtube video, the anticipation quietly built as I watched the program.
At times I found myself pitying, and rooting for, a young African Buffalo, being fought over between a Pride of Lions and a Crocodile.
Then my own hypocrisy caught up with me, Did I have a burger for lunch? My emotional tug-of-war didn't last long as the herd of African Buffalo stormed back to try and rescue their young.
The conclusion shows one especially heroic Buffalo that inspires the herd in an attempt to scatter the Lions. It is truly amazing to see animals in the wild, whom are believed to be inferior to humans, act more emotional and heroic than some of us.
Maybe this is where our army came up with the idea that no one gets left behind. I recommend watching this program for a more enhanced and detailed viewing of the battle at Kruger.
