Combine a tourist, a video camera, and one angry cape buffalo and you get a pretty funny video. This clip was uploaded to YouTube by Mary Ettner, who said: "We were doing a water safari in Chobe, Botswana and this lone Cape Buffalo charged our boat."

Brace yourself for the screams …

Lots of people have been killed by cape buffalo. When one of these guys makes like he's going to charge, the correct response is to MOVE AWAY, not sit there!

How’d you like to be peacefully eating your dinner and some idiot points a video camera at you? You’d be upset as well as the water buffalo. “What are you looking at?”

I can’t wait for Google Glassholes to start going on safaris.

Their terminal videos are going to be fantastic.

Doesn’t mean that he will take the slowest. Better you save your breath for the trigger sequence.

This reminds me of when Cheryl Tiegs was doing an SI swimsuit shoot in Africa. She was posing before a group of elephants (back to them) when wind shifted. The bull elephant of the herd smelled the humans and became agitated. The camera crew told Cheryl (who had her small children along in the camera car) to get in. The bull was starting to charge. Cheryl, still completely unaware of the bull elephant, keeps asking: “why”? The camera crew yells back: “get into the car, NOW”! She finally does, gets in the front seat and sees the charging elephant almost on to of them. The driver floors the car in reverse and leaves the charging bull in the dust. Satisfied the humans aren't a threat to his herd, the bull elephant stops and goes back to the herd. Cheryl Tiegs wins the "African airhead" award.
