(He Really Went All Out To Pull This Off)

Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Kyle Kendrick was shocked to learn that he’d been traded to the Yomiuri Giants in Japan for a player named “Kobayashi Iwamura.”

It’s been called one of the greatest nature videos of all time. All caught on tape by accident.  A pride of lions attacks a young buffalo. While working to take down their prey, an alligator attempts to wrestle the kill away from the lions.  A tug of war ensues. And just when that ends, the herd of buffalo return to rescue their own. Sounds too good to be true, doesn’t it? I wouldn’t have believed it either, but here it is.
