Animal Predatory

The video that I have chosen takes place in the Kruger park in South Africa. Take a look for yourself!

The predator in this video are the lions and the prey are the buffaloes. At the start you can see that the lions are trying to camoflauge/ Hide in the grass until the buffalo get close enough or spot them. The case in the video is that the buffalos spotted them and started to run.

The baby buffalo was caught because it was a slower prey compared to adults therefore the calf is more vulnerable. The buffaloes are the lions food, if there were no buffalo a piece of the food chain would go missing. The lions wouldn't starve because they do hunt other prey such as gazelles, sometimes elephants and even small creature like hogs. 

World Records Day- by Meera Dolasia

 

Thursday November 17 was a day where people try to pull off the most amazing things to try and get their name in that special book. This day is called Guinness World Record Day, this memorable day has been going on for the past 7 years.  These stunts go from the most bizarre to the most heart stopping.

This year stunts ranged from catching arrows blind folded to people fitting into a pair of underpants. The stunt that really was exciting for was the man that caught arrows blind folded. Believe it or not I have caught flying arrows and that was pretty hard, just thinking of being blind folded scares me. Meanwhile a 90 year old yoga teacher was getting her award and in Florida 221 people had the largest hula hoop class.

The grand prize was awarded to stuntman, Denni Dusesterhoeft for the most heart stopping record. He ran 120 meters while being totally on fire. This earned him the “Full Body Burn” award.

I would love to have my name in the Guinness World Record Book but I wouldn’t go to the extent of having myself on fire.
