The "Battle at Kruger" documentary will air on the National Geographic Channel at 9pm EST.
The documentary, officially titled "Caught on Safari: Battle at Kruger", will go behind-the-scenes of the YouTube phenomenon that chronicles an epic battle in the safari in South Africa.
Jason Schlosberg and David Budzinski were in South Africa's Kruger National Park when they witnessed and videotaped a battle between a herd of water buffalo, a tribe of lions, and two crocodiles.
A water buffalo walked close to a tribe of lions, when the lions chased after them, catching a water buffalo calf. The pride of lions swarmed the calf as they tried to retrieve it from the lake in which it slipped. As they prepared to carry the calf out of the water, two crocodiles emerged from the water and attacked the calf. The lions and crocodiles began to fight over the feast, but the lions won.
As soon as the lions take the calf out of the lake, a massive herd of water buffalo returned to the plain and attempted to get their calf back.
One water buffalo itched in and tossed a lion at least 10 feet in the air, starting a stampede that eventually forced the lions away.
The calf, who was miraculously still alive, got up and walked back into the herd.
The behind-the-scenes of the eyewitness account will be featured in the documentary on the National Geographic Channel.
