Unbelievable

By Jesse, himself. | Published: May 22, 2007

In my trips to Africa, I have seen many unbelievable things. But this—this footage is beyond any of them.

It tells me two things: first, nature is beautifully unpredictable. And second, the power of documenting man’s environment no longer belongs to conglomorates but is in the hands of everyone. This incredible footage wasn’t shot by a news network or heavily-funded documentarian; it was uploaded to YouTube by a tourist.

    Well son of a gun – Peter, old bean – great to hear from you! I’ll drop you a line – wish you hadn’t mentioned the 16 years part; it suddenly made me feel very, very old.

    Your son studying with Lorne?! Couldn’t get a better teacher.

    But how come he’s not tickling the 88′s – that way the lessons would be free :)

    You can say that again! It’s like the wildlife version of “300″.
