Skillz1.....

What a fantastic video of those amazing dogs!

Thanks for posting that

Cheers
Maybe...maybe not

Ever see the movie Fluke?

The dog video reminded me of that.

Could these animals be reincarnated humans?? Strange that a dog would use its paws instead of its mouth for moving another dog... hmmm...

Great vids though.

Holy crap, those videos were quite amazing. I usually have the stance that animals can't understand the things like right and wrong, or love and hate as we do, but viewing those really makes me wonder. Still an omnivore, but I have always been empathetic toward animals (currently have about 7 pets not mentioning all the fish) especially when I was younger. Maybe my young mind just knew something back then.

wow thats alot of animals haha and i know what u mean when i watched this it really made me think. for these animals to even put themselfes in danger to save another animal tells me that they are alot more inteligent then we humans ever first thought glad u enjoyed the videos thanks for posting ur views

really glad u enjoyed the footage its crazy stuff when u actually sit back and think about what u just saw for them animals to put themselfes in danger to save the life of another is not something we see every day

The dogs were in danger yes but the hippo not so much. The hippopotamus is the most dangerous animal in Africa. Its maw is very unsightly and not "flat molars" like cartoons show. They could literally bite a human in half if they wanted and definitely could fend their own against a croc(who would risk being crushed to death).

Still amazing that the dog would go out and save its friend like that. No idea why the hippo would save the other animal but the dog might have more reasoning as dogs get attached to their family and work and stick together.

yea but even still its pretty amazing because nature would tell the hippo that its just life. and the croc should be doing that cos thats how he eats. so for the hippo to defy nature lol and go out of his way to take the crocs food is still pretty strange. i bet that kind of thing dont happen every day go hippo! thats what i say haha but ur right the dog one is amazing that poor dog was bang in the middle of on coming traffic to save his buddy truly truly amazing nice ending though little fella survived

As I stated in a previous post, the dog scenario reminded me of the movie Fluke about a man reincarnated as a dog. I would slightly recommend watching the movie but it is more family oriented type of watching though it does hit on many nice themes(all conveniently hidden in subtext so the kiddies watching don't get hurt by it).

I still can't get over the dog using its paws. Just astounding!

yea i think i reemember watching this as a kid but cant remember what happens or anything but ill deff give it a second look cheers

Better still buy the book, By James Herbert, He also wrote Rats and the Lair also The Fog..
And other great end of days novels. Beat steven King by a mile IMO...

How is the original novel? Anything in it not included in the movie? I know this kinda gets off topic but seeing that dog video just reeks of reincarnation for me. Dogs usually use their jaws to drag stuff... D:

I had seen the Video of the Dogs a couple of years ago and even then, it almost brought a tear to my Eye, Just like now..

The Hippo one reminded me of the Cheetah Video where the Cheetah has a little Baby Impala following it and Snuggling into it and the Cheetah Doesn't know what to do about it.

There's another video of another Cheetah, I think it's a Cheetah, Taking care of a Little Baby Monkey..

We don't give animals enough Credit for their Intelligence. They are more intelligent and caring than we probably give them credit for. When it comes time for eating, though, I think the caring bit takes a back seat..

Another Video I have seen is of a Killer Whale helping a Seal Pup back onto the beach to Safety.

It's an amazing world we live in... You can't deny that..

Again, Thanks for posting the Video's..

Killer whale helping a seal pup!? I think the seal pup would be fearful of its life!!

The cheetah stories are interesting. I wonder what happened to the impala as it grew up. Would it be one of the family and off limits for feeding?

I think the Impala did end up getting eaten, I'm not sure.

The Baby Monkey did die though. It died from exposure. The Cheetah tried to keep it warm but the Little Monkey kept leaving it..

I think the monkey may have been a bit scared after he overheard the Cheetah telling his wife "we'll keep it alive for 6 months. Saves us putting it in the Fridge"..

Just read the book matey James Herbert a horror story writer from Britain,
Review:

Suffice to say it is a fantastic read that will have you laughing and crying, with an ending that may well leave you with a few theological thoughts... one more thing, watch out for Rumbo, the dog that shows Fluke the 'ropes'. He is a great character that you will love and who also appears briefly,
Books are so much better than Films IMO

If the book has as much social-political subtext as the movie, I am pretty sure I will look out for it at the local library. I have been dying to find a good book nowadays and I now want to experience the Fluke story again so I guess this all works out!

Crazy animals doing crazy things... the book claims it is humans as animals doing crazy things!!

Here's the Video of the Seal Pup being brought back to shore by a killer Whale.

It's right at the End of this video so you have to go through the Killing Bit's to get to it..
