I love how all those zebra mares are standing on the sidelines as if they’re watching a football game and just noticed how cute the quarterback is.

I love the Zebras 🦓 stripes at the beginning of this clip, personally I think they are the coolest of the 3 different species... that buffalo got a second chance at life at the jaws of the Nile Crocodile 🐊 👏👏

The elephants are just like humans! Intelligent enough to solve a problem but too brash and clumsy to execute it 😭
Watching the older males splash through the dirty water, after the females were trying to hard to keep it clean was exactly like high school group projects were someone just refuses to cooperate 😂

"... it's his first chance to mate, in a very long time"

I can relate my black and white fella, you ain't alone in this 'dryspell' 🤣

[rlyons]

So funny how in 10:06 the orax looks dead at the lion and then just goes back to its business. I'm like YOUR ABOUT TO BE LUNCH.

[timsullivan]

That zebra stallion really earned his stripes!

I love how elephants fight over water and zebras fight over mate

Attenborough narration would make the story of my life sound interesting.

[anne-mariezack]

David’s voice is so soothing even though he sounds a little like Winnie The Pooh; ‘Oh Bother.’ 😊

Africa is agreat destination with wildlife although people world wide have not been aware of the exsistance of the mountain gorillas, hope it will be on the bucket list of every wildlife lover who makes it to Africa, but for the great vidoe.
