Mssilhouette | Monday, November 05, 2001 - 01:36 pm   I love how that water buffalo had the Boran team trapped, Now that was crafty playing on the Buffalo's part. GO Buffalo! I also liked how the lions encircled their camp. I'd say any day now that Lion pride is gonna be the ultimate survivor. GO LIONS! Oh let's not forget about the files. I mean are they clever or what? Annoy the Survivor's to death until they run away. Pure Genius! GO TESE(sp) FLIES! Psst...Modsquad, Can you correct the word Animals on my thread title...Teehee...thanks. |
Grooch | Monday, November 05, 2001 - 02:15 pm   Why are the water buffalo the most dangerous animal they will come across? Aren't the lions more dangerous? |
Mssilhouette | Monday, November 05, 2001 - 04:21 pm   Intersting question. Maybe because water buffalo have more of an attitude than lions. Maybe because buffalo are more likely to charge whereas a single lion is more likely to leave you alone. Territory and all that. Of course that's only a theory. |
Moondance | Monday, November 05, 2001 - 05:52 pm   Did you see the mug on that face... pretty scary to me |
Tntitanfan | Monday, November 05, 2001 - 07:35 pm   I am a big AP and Discovery watcher, and I am pretty sure that the most dangerous animal (to man) in Africa is the HIPPO! I was astonished too when I heard that! Guess maybe being far away from the river isn't all that bad!! |
Snee | Monday, November 05, 2001 - 10:15 pm   i've heard that about the water buffalo too. but i've also heard it about the hippos. hmm. oh, i think it's 'tse-tse fly' but i'm not sure. if i'm right and someone finds out, can i have a prize? (snees like prizes.) which reminds me...has anyone seen the cartoon about the little fly with the big shoes who makes little noises but doesn't actually talk? i LOVE that fly! it's hilarious! |
Jeep | Tuesday, November 06, 2001 - 05:34 am   Snee - tsetse fly is correct! No hyphen (I believe), but spelling is right. So you win the BIG prize! How about a bright yellow fly-swatter! LOL |
Twiggyish | Tuesday, November 06, 2001 - 06:18 am   I love all the animal scenes. It brings home the point, of the danger in the area. I haven't seen any snakes, yet. The tsetse fly must have bitten the younger kids, because they do like to sleep. =) |
Crazydog | Tuesday, November 06, 2001 - 07:49 am   Could be a dumb question, but what would have happened if the water buffalo charged? Or if they run into a lion on their way to the water hole? Do you think there's a ranger or some type with them that has a tranquilizer gun? It'd seems a little irresponsible if there wasn't. Then again, this is the same production team that let Mike roast in the fire until he woke up on his own. And am I wrong, but are the only things keeping the lions out from the camps those "fences" of twigs? Couldn't a lion break through that, or leap over it, if it really wanted to? Or is there a sturdier outside fence that we're not seeing? I know Jeff said something about how your fence will be the only thing keeping out the lions, but they really don't look like much of a barrier. Also, what is the point of having a lookout? If the lions wanted to eat them, they could. Is the lookout supposed to wake everyone up so you can be conscious when you are eaten? Full of questions today am I. |
Ophiliasgrandma | Tuesday, November 06, 2001 - 09:10 am   If I'm not mistaken, the buffalo is considered the most 'dangerous, and the hippo the most 'deadly'. The buffalo is very preditory when angered and spends a great deal of it's time with an attitude. It will take hours stalking a person to get even for a perceived insult. It wrecks a lot of mayhem on mankind, not necessarily always leading to death. The victum just wishes they were dead. Whereas, the hippo usually only kills when it is accidently stumbled upon and is not a stalker. |
Fanny | Tuesday, November 06, 2001 - 09:39 am   Ummm, I don't know....that sounds more like Jerri to me than a buffalo. Maybe I'm wrong. |
Twiggyish | Tuesday, November 06, 2001 - 10:23 am   Good one Fanny!! |
Kep421 | Tuesday, November 06, 2001 - 11:43 am   ROTFLMAO Fanny!!!! |
Kep421 | Tuesday, November 06, 2001 - 11:48 am   By the way, Linda said in her online chat that although she couldn't see them, they knew there were armed guards in the perimeter around their camp to protect them. I'd imagine the areas around the watering holes and routes to them were also guarded. It would have been just too unsafe for them not to be guarded. Death of a Survivor would put a big damper on future shows!!! |
Misslibra | Tuesday, November 06, 2001 - 04:32 pm   Fanny The Animals are beautiful, and I would imagine there would be someone near by with a tranq gun for their safety Crazydog, the shot that we see from the air only shows those twig fences around their camp, and the fence look to high for a Animal to jump it. |
Grooch | Friday, November 09, 2001 - 07:45 am   So now Boran has chickens. Either they can keep them and eat the eggs or eat the chicken themselves. I would rather save the chickens for the eggs, but after Jeff said that they would attract predators, I think I would go back to camp and start a nice pot of chicken soup. |
Kep421 | Friday, November 09, 2001 - 10:53 am   I agree Grooch, what a choice. Do you choose to have breakfast everyday, or do you take the chance you may become breakfast? |
Jeep | Friday, November 09, 2001 - 10:59 am   Do you really think the Survivor crew would allow a wild animal jump into their camp? I wouldn't want to be the one to kill the chicken, but I would certainly eat it after it was dead! I would rather do that than have to waste it by throwing it to a lion so the lion would go away. |
Grooch | Friday, November 09, 2001 - 11:00 am   Why didn't they eat the tick? It was a good source of protein. I bet by the 30th day, they are going to be wishing they had that tick to eat. |
Mssilhouette | Friday, November 09, 2001 - 12:53 pm   Wow! In this last epsiode we got to see: an antalope and his bathroom habits a beetle (I think) crawling with much difficutly, up a hill of ash (to overly symbolize Lindsay's frustration) a tick sucking the life outta Lindsay (just desserts) a nice herd of elephants and one male staring down Frank (which is saying that he has perserverance) Oh and let us not forget the cute goats being carried into their pens and finally the doomed chickens and rooster. All in all a jammed packed animal episode! |
Neko | Friday, November 09, 2001 - 01:58 pm   I was laughing so hard when they showed the antalope!!I was thinking "Filler! Filler!". Wasn't there also vultures in that episode to MsSil? Pssstt...That was sneaky getting them to switch thems but I knew it was coming all because of Donut. I think she guessed that was happing weeks ago. Just shows even the normal person could run Survivor!LOL. Man...this was a really long whisper. I think my voice is getting sore! |
Mssilhouette | Friday, November 09, 2001 - 02:13 pm   LOL Neko! I don't remember any vultures but I'll havta check my tape. Unless of course you mean the ones waiting to pick at Silas after he got the big boot! In the words of the Comic Store Guy on the Simpsons: "Best...Episode...Ever!" |
Neko | Saturday, November 10, 2001 - 10:29 am   Hmmm.I was sure they showed one flying and another taking off. Maybe it was just my wild imagination.LoL "Best...Episode...Ever!" |
Neko | Wednesday, November 14, 2001 - 04:42 pm   You know that "Best...Episode..Ever"...That seems to be the theme saying with the guys at my school..Odd..hehehe |
Mssilhouette | Thursday, November 15, 2001 - 11:18 pm   Tonights episode of survivor..... We got to see ZEBRA!! We saw Antelope! We saw Chickens! We saw Bitc..err Lindsay get booted! This show was animal light, I guess they didn't need filler tonight. |
