LSM3261 LIFE FORM AND FUNCTION

This module explores the basic relationships between life form and function of animals and plants.

Video I mentioned in class: Battle at Kruger

"A battle between a pride of lions, a herd of buffalo, and 2 crocodiles at a watering hole in South Africa's Kruger National Park while on safari."

I had to post this up after finding out less than 10% the class has sen this. It has an excited commentary as well, adding significantly to the atmosphere. You can hear one chap with a ?South African accent ("hey guys you cannot believe what's happening"), adding the safari feel to the whole story. And a lady in the background who exclaims when the crocodile enters the fray.

But the activity that goes on is amazing with moments that defy all expectations! Its just nature at work but you can't help rooting for the buffaloes!

"I've got it on video" - well, 18.5 million views later and they are going back with Nat Geo to get the whole story! Can't wait.

Wow! That was inspiring! The power of a community. How united the buffalos are that they would come back, all of them, just for one little calf, that not even one will be lost. There's really so much Man can learn from nature! Like how we should be there for one another. :)
