THE word ‘viral’ is incorrectly thrown around a lot these days whenever something gets posted to social media.
A video going viral is a bit like attempting to catch lightning in a bottle — it’s not easy to do and almost impossible to replicate.
But we’ve collected some of the most popular videos of the week from around the web for your viewing pleasure.
WARNING: Some footage below is very graphic and viewer discretion is advised.
SAFARI BATTLE BETWEEN LION AND BUFFALO
The photographic hideaways at Shenton Safaris in Zambia offer safe spots to capture some truly unique sights on film.
Sometimes these sights will be spectacular; other times they will be hard to watch.
This gruesome video was recorded near the Mwamba camp, and it shows a buffalo emerging as the stronger animal in a bloody battle with a lion.
POLICE ARREST JAYWALKING TEEN
How many police officers does it take to arrest a 16-year-old jaywalker?
That question was answered when a video was uploaded of nine — yes, you read that right, NINE — police officers arresting a teenage rebel who was jaywalking in Stockton, California.
In the video, a police officer is seen attempting to restrain the teen with a baton, asking him to “stop resisting,” while a woman shouts at the police officer, saying “Get off of him! He’s a kid!” When police backup arrives, a scuffle ensues with four officers restraining the teen on the ground while five others stand by.
The boy was reportedly arrested before being released to his mother, pending charges.
A Stockton Police Department spokesperson claimed the first officer’s bodycam fell off in the exchange, and that “preliminarily, it looks like the officers were within policy.”
GIRL WOWS SCHOOL TEAM WITH BEAUTIFUL SINGING
Move over Beyoncé — there’s a new diva in town.
Verrado High School student Alexandria Smith has loved singing ever since she could talk.
When Smith discovered that her school was holding auditions to find someone to sing the national anthem before their home volleyball games, there was no way she was going to miss out.
As soon as the coach heard the rising star’s beautiful voice, she had the role.
CHILLED RETRIEVER GOES FOR DRIVE WITH ‘DOGGLES’
Meet Nutmeg the Golden Retriever who was gifted a special set of ‘doggles’ (dog goggles) by her owner so she could hang her head out the car window in comfort.
Nutmeg’s owner Nathan said she brings joy to everyone who sees her around their hometown of Cary, North Carolina — mainly because she looks like the most chilled-out dog around.
