Battle at Kruger

Darwin speculated that the origin of the moral sense is to be found in feelings that humans share with other social animals, and that these feelings are naturally selected for by evolution. Creatures that sympathize with, and aid, others of their group have a better collective chance of surviving. Here's a remarkable video of buffalo coming to the aid of one of their youngsters attacked by lions.
Warning: violence and South African accents.

Meanwhile, there's a bumper potato harvest in Greenland.
