Tackling something head on can often be an effective technique... but perhaps not if you're these two buffalo. The horned animals were filmed charging at each other for sport in China only to collide skulls and fall instantly to the floor. Huge crowds have assembled to watch the fight and line the sides of a rectangular pitch. Brutal moment two buffalo hit each other head-on at village party
The animas' heads crash into each other with such terrific force that they both fall backwards.
One topples sideways to the ground, legs swinging into the air, while the other lies on its front, a pool of blood forming by its head. The masses continue to cry out but many shout, 'Boo' as some run towards the fallen animals.
Several crowd round the buffalo and give them CPR but blood continues to seep into the mud around their huge bodies. Whether the beasts ever recovered is not known but it certainly seems unlikely and it is presumed they died on impact. Although it is not known where exactly in China the video was filmed, in Southern China buffalo fighting it a very popular sport with the Dong people and a buffalo-fighting festival every year is held every year.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the Yi people, an ethnic minority of eight million spread over southwestern China, have been fighting bulls for more than a century as a way to celebrate a harvest ceremony called Torch Festival, and, in more recent years, Lunar New Year.
