15. Battle at Kruger: 22,692,013; May 03, 2007
But our favorite is number 15 – The battle at Kruger. It is the most popular animal video of 2007 that was shot by American tourists (believed to be Jason Schlosberg and David Budzinski, among others) on safari in South Africa's Kruger National Park. A battle between a pride of lions, a herd of buffalo, and two crocodiles at a watering hole. A herd of buffalo approaches a pride of hungry lions, and the lions pounce. The herd scatters, but a buffalo calf is caught and sent tumbling into water where a few crocodiles struggled with lions on who gets the calf for lunch. According to video's authors, the National Geographic has sent them back to Africa to develop a special giving the behind-the-scenes story on how they got this amazing footage.
Other than the above, our number one choice for the funniest video is the bungling performance of Miss Teen USA beauty pageant from South Carolina Lauren Caitlin Upton. It got over 21 million view count.
