Some of the most extraordinary wildlife videos are posted throughout the year by Latest Sightings, a South Africa-based site operated by Nadav Ossendryver and designed for wildlife enthusiasts.
It has become a tradition for Ossendryver to post an end-of-year compilation of the best sightings of the year. “This year we’ve had so many viral sightings that it may have just been the hardest yet,” he stated on his YouTube post.
Among the favorites is the view from inside a safari truck being lifted off the ground by an angry, attacking elephant.
“2024 was a WILD year for wildlife sightings!” Ossendryver stated.
A herd of zebras crossing a road, lions taking down a giraffe, a crocodile-vs.-snake encounter, an elephant tipping over a large tree and an amazing water buffalo escape are among the other favorites in the compilation.

An elephant trying to save a stuck rhino from hungry lions was among the top views at 18 million. The total number of views for the year for Latest Sightings topped an amazing 4 billion.
