Remember that terrific African baby buffalo clip you posted a while back? It just hit the big time... Baby buffalo's escape: the movie Amateur clip that became a YouTube sensation is made into a documentary by US wildlife channel guardian.co.uk After returning home, Budzinski tried, unsuccessfully, to sell his eight-minute video of the battle at Kruger to the National Geographic and Animal Planet channels, but was turned down. We don't take submissions from amateurs, he was told. So Budzinski's video gathered dust until, last year, he agreed it could be shown on YouTube. Within days, it was being watched around the planet, drawing more than 30 million viewings and becoming one of the most popular videos in YouTube history. It was then that the buyers came calling. Last year the National Geographic channel, which had sniffily rejected Budzinski's handiwork, agreed to purchase the video's television rights and will devote an hour tonight to a documentary deconstructing the drama.
