Lion blindsided by crocodile in river escapes

Lions might be the kings of the
jungle, but crocodiles rule the river.
At least most of the time. That
wasn’t the case in a video shared by
Kruger Sightings the other day. It
shows a young lion crossing a river
and getting blindsided by a
crocodile.
A woman in the background can be
heard saying, “Oh my God; oh my
God,” just before the inevitable. But
it has a happy ending:
A happy ending for the lion, that is.
The crocodile’s next meal would
have to wait.
The footage was captured by a
tourist while standing on the H10
bridge near the Lower Sabie River in
the Kruger National Park in South
Africa.
“All we can say is, lions should
always look both [ways] before
crossing the river,” Kruger Sightings
said on Facebook

boys buried in snow pile heard rescuers calling

NEWBURGH, N.Y. (AP) — Two boys trapped in a snow pile for about seven hours after a plow buried them could hear their worried family's cries but couldn't respond loudly enough to be heard, they said Friday. Police credited an air pocket with saving their lives. The two cousins, 11-year-old Elijah Martinez and 9-year-old Jason Rivera, were building a snow fort Wednesday night across the street from Elijah's apartment in Newburgh when a plow operator clearing a parking lot unknowingly pushed snow over them. Buried in about 5 feet of snow, they could barely move and couldn't breathe very well, so they could do nothing as they heard the anguished cries nearby. Jason lost his gloves. His hat flew off. They relied on each other to stay alive, they said, sharing Elijah's face mask to try and keep their hands warm and talking to each other so they wouldn't fall asleep. "I felt so tired. It didn't feel real that they were coming to get u...

Ebiripo: one of the best Ijebu Food

In spite of the fact that most of the Ijebu foods are tuber-related such as Ikokore, Ojojo, Ebiripo etc, the process of cooking these tuber varieties with special sauces makes them nutritionally rich and appropriate for all occasions.

Cocoyam is purely carbohydrates and poor in other nutrients but many have now found ways to make the roots nutritious by adding soya beans while making Ebiripo. According to a study by Sowonola O. A. Et al, from the Federal College of Agriculture, Moor Plantation, Ibadan, Oyo State, “The combination of cocoyam and soyabeans in the processing of Ebiripo will bring about nutrient complement ability”.
