When Animals Attack: Big Cats

No idea how this post came together. Anyway, here's a few videos of some crazy big cats on the attack.

LION

So this video kind of bothers me because the guy doing the shooting is a lame hunter. I mean do you really need to kill a lion and if you do, go take one on in the jungle and at least give him a chance to do you before you do him. As you can see in the video, it appears this guy is at a fenced in area where the lion is trapped. Wow what a great hunter you are. With that said, wow, he came about an inch away from having a few large holes in his chest.

LEOPARD

When trying to release a pissed off cat into the wild, you should probably not poke him with a stick. Also, when releasing said cat you should really make sure the windows are rolled up.

TIGER

So this video is by far the coolest. I mean it definitely sucks for the guy on the front of the elephant but you have to be amazed at how quickly that tiger closed the distance in the tall weeds and how it jumped on top of an elephant like it was nothing. Here's the story:

For those who came in late, a large adult tigress, suspected to be the mother of the two cubs rescued from Tamuli Pathar village(adjoining Kaziranga) on May 16, severely mauled the mahout of an Assam forest department elephant, which was carrying rangers trying to dart her on the morning of May 19.

The 25-year-old mahout, Satya Pegu, who was badly lacerated, lost three fingers on his left hand, is in a hospital in Dibrugarh. Doctors are worried about the onset of gangrene and may have to amputate his left palm. The Wildlife Trust of India and its partner, the International Fund for Animal Welfare have offered to cover his medical expenses.

The footage showed that Pegu saw the tigress leaping and threw the metal ankush at it to defend himself. “The tigress saw the ankush coming, dodged it in mid-leap and took a swipe at Pegu without actually landing on the elephant, which had stepped back,” Menon said.

“It all happened in a few seconds and before we knew what both Bodo and the guard had fallen down,” Dr Choudhary narrated. What now happened was even more amazing. As the tigress landed on the ground Joymala quickly pinned her down with her left fore foot and tried to control it with its trunk. The tigress struggled under this weight for at least half a minute roaring, as other people in the vicinity shouted and fired shots in the air. In this commotion another attempt was made to dart it, but even this shot was off the mark. The tigress finally struggled loose and ran away. [WTI]

24:Redemption

Don't get too excited, while there was a 2 hour premiere event of 24:Redemption on last night the show won't be returning until January 11th. When the show comes back I'll try and give some regular updates of the Jack Bauer kill count & various other things of note from the show.

According to Blogs4Bauer, Jack was able to rack up 17 points in last nights episode (14 kills & 3 DAMMITS). Here's what else they said in the episode recap:

Season 7 Preview

-Tony’s back - Chloe’s back. Dude from Sons of Anarchy. Explosions and an uzi. I cannot wait.

So what did you think?

My thoughts. I thought it was good. When I heard Jack was going to be in Africa - I expected that Season 6 was not the worst that Fox could offer. However this 2 hour installment was pretty good. There was some old-school Jack Bauer shooting, and a few “dammits”. I could have done without the filler with the junkie and would have liked fewer commercials.

The previews for Season 7 has me pumped up for January. I said to myself that I wouldn’t waste my time blogging for Bauer if it meant sitting through another crappy season. Last season was really hard to watch (and even harder to blog about).

Whatever we post about - we are all fans of 24 and want Fox to let Jack be Jack. Hopefully we can just put Season 6 out of our memory (sort of like Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom). So stay tuned to Blogs4Bauer as we all gear up for Zombie Tony’s return in January. If Jack Bauer can come back from the dead (twice), Tony can do it at least once.

Watch last nights 2 hour episode (it's 87 minutes run time without commercials)

Invisible Children

Watched this documentary on the children in war-torn Uganda, and was very moved. Check out this video and web-site if you feel the same. Web site HERE.
