At last, after a decade of animal forums, searching for sufficient proof, I have stumbled upon a detailed account of an ostrich killing lions. Three-quarter grown lions, but still, very impressive in my book.
Tony Archer, a knowledgeable naturalist who arrived on the scene just after the occurrence, reported that an ostrich had killed two lions. A Masai man had witnessed the whole dramatic episode, and Tony had questioned him carefully. There is front of them were two dead lions, three-quarters grown, and a dead adult ostrich hen. The Masai said he was watching as ostrich pair with their newly hatched chicks feeding peacefully. Suddenly a lioness appeared with three of her own young. The cock immediately led the chicks to safety while the hen advanced on the predators. A hen with newly hatched chicks is often savage. The young lions began to close in and within a minute or two there was a brief but violent struggle. When the animals parted, two young lions had fallen, one with a broken back and the other with a blow to the head caused by the hen’s rapid, powerful downward kicks. Seconds later the lioness pounced on the hen and killed it with a few bites.
Supercommunist: The claims aren't crazy but I just find it a bit annoying how some of the most popular animal youtubers tend to have a pretty medicore grasp of the subject.

Supercommunist: Tier zoo repeated the myth that birds have weaker, hollow bones in their most recent video.

Supercommunist: Anyone know any accounts or rabbits straight up killing stoats/weasels? Also, any accounts of stoats attacking and killing hares?

dinosauria101: I will never understand the purpose of dishonest streaming services that list full seasons and episodes of shows there's no option to watch.

Infinity Blade: Indeed it will be (I remembered that I'll be turning 25 this year), so I think this would be a perfect opportunity.

Exalt: Seems it aired in October and November, so close.

Exalt: Wait, isn't this the 25th anniversary of wwd anyway, if it aired in 1999?

Exalt: I've pondered the idea of doing it myself, there's stuff to comment on, but I've not seen much in the way of reviews for it. Weirdly, WWB seems more popular to do.

Exalt: I'm not going to push you either way, just an observation that I made.

Infinity Blade: I first started doing reviews as a means to celebrate an anniversary (like the 20th anniversary). Then I started being less stringent on that, so if I wanted, I could review WWD.

Exalt: Also, it sure is crazy how despite how limited the fossil record is in the grand scheme of natural history, we're still making discoveries on a relatively frequent basis.

Exalt: I just looked through the documentaries board and if I've not missed it, nobody has actually done a review for WWD. Huh.

creature386: @hammerhead Just so that we're clear, it's me who is rejecting your alt-accounts over and over again, not Infinity Blade. IB can't even see your insults unless I show him (which, admittedly, is a fun past-time activity of ours).

Exalt: Or, debated, rather.
