What are some good social media sites to follow for live videos? As of now I only know of Kruger Sightings on Snapchat and Instagram. I'm guessing there has to be more that the community is aware of.

"Lion kingdom" is a serialized documentary with 3 episodes (45 minutes each) about three prides of lions in the Ruaha national park (Tanzania).

So 3 episodes as followed:

1) Pride and punishment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=932ZKOok1D0&t=3s

2) Hunter of giants: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VnKp2TFqgiM

3) Bloods rivals: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0avbMUNBa4&t=3s

Surprising to discover 1) in the first episode the pacific coexistence between baboons and lions. Even an alliance between them because as they said "If nothing is more dangerous for a baboon than an hungry lion, nothing is more secure than a fed up pride of lions. Thus the baboons don't never give the alarm when zebras, antelopes and gazelles enter into this particular territory.

2) In the second episod, two big prides of lionesses killing and eating together an adult giraffe during the dry season.

3) Also in the second episode, the small giraffes herd meditating around the few abandoned bones of their killed fellow. Impossible to deny after that the mammals know what the death is.

4) In the third episode, the lions tolerating some lizards feasting on flies over their coat.

And also very beautiful hunting scenes, particularly during the third episode, lions versus buffalos. Very spectacular lions fights also.

Titanoboa,  is an extinct genus of snakes that is known to have lived in present-day La Guajira in northern Colombia. Fossils of Titanoboa have been found in the Cerrejón Formation, and date to around 58 to 60 million years ago. The giant snake lived during the Middle to Late Paleocene epoch, a 10-million-year period immediately following the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event. The only known species is Titanoboa cerrejonensis, the largest snake ever discovered, which supplanted the previous record holder, Gigantophis. By comparing the sizes and shapes of its fossilized vertebrae to those of extant snakes, researchers estimated that the largest individuals of T. cerrejonensis found had a total length around 12.8 m (42 ft) and weighed about 1,135 kg (2,500 lb).
In 2009, the fossils of 28 individuals of T. cerrejonensis were found in the Cerrejón Formation of the coal mines of Cerrejón in La Guajira, Colombia.

Bagarius yarrelli, known as the giant devil catfish or goonch, is a very large species of catfish in the genus Bagarius found in rivers in South Asia.It is possibly also found in Southeast Asia. The Kali River goonch attacks were a series of fatal attacks on humans believed to be perpetrated by man-eating goonch catfish in three villages on the banks of the Kali River in India and Nepal, between 1998 and 2007. This is the subject of a TV documentary aired on 22 October 2008, as well as an episode about the Kali River goonch attacks on the Animal Planet series River Monsters.This fish reaches up to 2 m (6.6 ft) in length, and weighs over 200 pounds.

Colossoma macropomum: Pacu is a term of Brazilian Indian/Guaraní origin. When the large fish of the Colossoma genus entered the aquarium trade in the U.S. and other countries, they were labeled pacui, it has different names depending on its locality pacu, cachama, cherna and tambaquí. Pacu, along with piranha, are currently further classified into the Serrasalmidae family (formerly a subfamily of Characidae). Serrasalmidae means "serrated salmon family" and refers to the serrated keel running along the belly of these fish. However, dental characteristics and feeding habits further separate the two groups from each other.
Pacu, unlike piranha, mainly feed on plant material and not flesh or scales. Additionally, the pacu can reach much larger sizes than piranha, at up to 1.08 m (3.5 ft) in total length and 40 kg (88 lb) in weight.

Native to the streams of the Amazon River basin, the arapaima is a massive yet sleek and streamline freshwater fish. It can breathe air, allowing it to survive in pools with low water levels or decaying vegetation. Arapaima have broad, bony heads, upturned mouths and streamlined bodies with a dorsal fin stretching along their backs toward their tails, which are massive, yet stumpy in appearance. The head of the arapaima is copperish-green in color, their bodies are black with a white center and their tails are red. In Brazil, they are known as "pirarucu," a word from the Tupi language, which translates roughly as "red fish." In Peru, they are known as "paiche."
When the rivers overflow, fish can be dispersed into the surrounding forest for miles, sometimes to remote areas where floodwater contains so much decaying vegetation that oxygen levels are too low to support most fish. This predicament does not affect the arapaima, as it has the ability to breathe air. The arapaima is one of the largest freshwater fish in the world, reaching up to 330 pounds (150 kilograms) and 10 feet (3 meters) in length. However, sizes of 200 pounds (90.7 kilograms) and 7 to 8 feet (2.2 to 2.4 meters) in length are more common.
The arapaima is found in Brazil, Peru and Guyana. They live in the slow-moving and typically oxygen-deficient rivers of the Amazon River basin floodplain.In the wild, The arapaima eats mostly fish but is also known to eat fruits, seeds, insects, birds and mammals found on the surface of the water.

Rare Indian Hyena Fight At Sariska Tiger Reserve.

Rajasthan, India.

Here is a wonderful account of a green anaconda predation on a adult cougar. Originally posted on carnivora by gsm1234 (the credit goes to him).

Predation of an adult puma by an anaconda in south- eastern Brazil

We report the predation of a puma Puma concolor by an adult anaconda Eunectes murinus that occurred in south-eastern Brazil. Despite the death of both animals, the incident raises important questions regarding the role they play in their respec- tive niches in the wild.

We report here a natural predation event of an adult female puma by an adult anacon- da that occurred in the municipality of Pro- missão, on the north-western border of São Paulo state, Brazil. The incident was disco- vered when monitoring an adult female puma through radiotelemetry, as part of a research project on pumas, along the margins of a hy- droelectric dam, on the lower Tietê riverba- sin. The study is the result of a partnership between the Pró-Carnívoros Institute and the Hydroelectric Power Company AES Tietê, a subsidiary of AES Corp. (SISBIO Licence # 45774-1). The goal of the study is to evaluate the environmental health of the areas underthe influence of AES Tietê, using the puma as a conservation tool, through the assessment, evaluation, and monitoring of their popula- tion in the study area.

The study animal referred to in this report was an adult female, captured on 5 July 2015, with a weight of 42 kg. The permanent denti- tion showed teeth in excellent shape, with no excessive wear, and her age was estimated at 4-5 years. After equipped with a GPS/sa- tellite radio collar (Sirtrack, NZ), she was re- leased at the capture site. Until early October, we collected 2,053 locations of this cat, com- prising an area of 30 km2, which suggests she was a resident female used to prey upon athriving population of capybaras Hydrochae- ris hydrochaeris, as shown by the prevalence of this species in more than 20,000 wildlife photographs taken by our camera traps (53%, n = 12,215 photos of capybaras).

On 8 October 2015, the radio collar stopped sending locations to the satellite. After dis- cussion with the manufacturer and testing its voltage to discard a possible tempora- ry malfunction, we found it had actually stopped working. On 24 October we sent our field team to check the vicinity of her last coordinates, searching for the VHF si- gnal of the collar. After detecting the VHF signal with a handheld receiver and a di- rectional antenna, our team homed in and found the signal was coming from inside a ditch in a cattail patch, in high grass ve- getation within a matrix of sugarcane. As they approached, it became clear that the signal was coming from the water. Assu- ming at this point that someone had killed the puma and discarded the collar, they waded in, to search for it. To their surprise, they found a large anaconda, measuring 4.20 m and weighing 94 kg (as later veri- fied), in the shallow water (Fig. 1). Apparently, the puma had been swallowed by the anaconda.



As we needed to recover the radio collar, our field team, under our instruction, carefully captured the anaconda, aiming to keep it un- der observation in an adequate location un- til it regurgitated the collar. With a rope, the anaconda was lassoed and lifted onto the back of a pickup truck. During this operation, which lasted approximately 15 minutes, the snake was unusually apathic. Therefore, it was no surprise to find that, unfortunate- ly, the anaconda died after a few minutes. When informed of this, we decided to take it immediately to the Bauru Zoological Park, in the town of Bauru, SP, to conduct a necropsy by qualified veterinarians (Fig. 2). According to the necropsy report, the macroscopic di- agnosis showed pulmonary congestion with presence of parasites, oral necrosis, hepatic impairment caused by disruption of the liver, and parasitic tapeworm infestation in the in- testine. Thus, it was clear that the ease with which the animal was captured was due to the fact that it was highly debilitated and in state of imminent death.

Macroscopic examination of the carcass revealed multiple injuries, most certainly inflicted during the fight with the puma. We cannot affirm how the meeting between the anaconda and puma started. However, the evidence suggested a significant fight, whereby the felid proved to be a formidable opponent to the reptile. There were seve- ral external claw and tooth injuries on the snake, on the head, mouth, along the back and tail, as well as serious internal injuries, including lacerations on the liver (Fig. 3). Although the following is only speculation, it is interesting to note that the anaconda was missing a considerable portion of the tail, from some previous event, which had completely healed. Since this stump su- stained several fresh claw and tooth marks, it is possible that the cat mistook it for the head of the snake, during the fight, serving as a distraction that may have given a cru- cial advantage to the anaconda. Despite its unfortunate end (Fig. 4), the incident raises important questions regarding the natural relationships between these formidable predators, and the role they play in their respective niches in the wild. Anacondas have been reported to prey on large prey, such as capybaras, caiman Caiman sp., and even domestic dogs Canis familiaris, calves Bos taurus and sheep Ovis aries, but records like the one we describe here are rare. To our knowledge, this is the first record of an anaconda preying on a top predator like the puma.
