THE WILD One of those Internet-ers with too much time on his hands added lasers and explosions to a nature video, and its awesome.

When making this video, YouTube user Blackhawk was certainly channeling his inner Dr. Evil from "Austin Powers," whose only wish was to own a tank full of sharks with lasers on their heads in order to better kill his enemies.
