The hippopotamus is considered one of the wildest mammals in the world. When it comes to territory, the male is capable of unimaginable things to protect females and their young.
And don’t be fooled by the cute faces of the hippos. It is not surprising that the animal was able to displace a lion respected by so many other animals.
According to the broadcaster that released the images, lions and hippos rarely face each other because their territories are different. In addition, the power of hippos always scares other animals in Africa.
The fight
The hippopotamus is forced to go ashore at night to find food when the food source is scarce. And this is the opportunity for lions to put their wild animal plan into action.
The pride of lions tirelessly chases, bites and jumps onto the hippo’s back while the huge animal tirelessly tries to escape.
So the hippopotamus seems to realize that running is not a good path. Suddenly he grabbed one of the lion’s heads and let the blood flow nonstop. The lion started walking away and the hippopotamus took the opportunity to run away quickly. The other lion died the next morning from excessive wildlife blood loss.
