00:03 When we think of Africa, we think of it
00:10 as one of the most densely populated wildlife
00:13 populations in the world.
00:17 The diversity of wild animals is more abundant
00:20 than that of any continent on Earth.
00:22 So what would happen when the hippo was
00:27 wounded and seen by predators?
00:29 Join us in following this video for answers.

00:35 Hippopotamus is the largest land mammal on Earth.
00:42 They are also the heaviest in weight,
00:44 despite their shorter size than the giraffe.

00:59 Hippopotamuses are the most ferocious herbivores on Earth.
01:05 And they are often considered the most dangerous animals
01:09 in Africa.

01:20 Hippopotamuses' jaws are very powerful
01:23 and could easily bite a crocodile,
01:25 their aggression being more powerful than any animal.

01:58 Hippopotamus are terrestrial and aquatic,
02:04 living in lakes and swamps.
02:08 The hippopotamus lives in herds of about 5 to 30 females
02:12 and offspring and are ruled by a dominant male.
02:17 During the day, when temperatures rise,
02:19 they will immerse themselves in lagoons or mud.
02:22 And at night, when the weather is cool,
02:24 they will come ashore to eat grass.

02:34 In this video, two hyenas are approaching
02:43 a wounded hippopotamus quite easily
02:45 without any resistance from the hippopotamus.
02:48 [MUSIC PLAYING]
02:51 The hippopotamus is very aggressive
02:57 on the African pastures.
02:59 And in terms of danger, it surpasses
03:02 even the lion or the leopard.
03:05 But sometimes, serious injuries make it defenseless
03:08 against these hungry predators.
03:11 He tried to drag his bulky body down the river in the hope
03:15 of escaping the hyenas.
03:17 The hyenas, however, did not ignore the hippopotamus,
03:21 charging down the river and continuing
03:23 to attack their prey.
03:24 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:28 [MUSIC PLAYING]
03:31 With initial heavy wounds plus more severe damage
03:40 from hyenas, the hippo would die off.

04:00 It will become a dead body floating in the river
04:05 and then become lucrative prey for other predators.

04:27 In another video, we can see that this hippopotamus
04:33 was pretty badly injured with bleeding wounds.
04:35 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:39 A flock of birds scramble about to operate on his wounds.
04:44 [MUSIC PLAYING]
04:47 But he didn't care.
04:49 He was dragging his huge body towards the lake.

05:00 In the last video, another hippopotamus
05:03 was injured, which is very painful,
05:05 and it is unable to walk.
05:07 While she is using some of her strength to rest in the puddle,
05:10 a predator appears and attacks her.
05:14 The hyenas repeatedly attacked and devoured their prey.
05:18 The hippopotamus could only accept an attack by the hyenas
05:21 without any resistance and despair.
05:23 [MUSIC PLAYING]
05:26 That's the nature of living in the wild.
05:45 Nobody has priority.
05:47 All animals are just trying to do what they can to survive.
05:52 After watching it all, leave your thoughts
05:54 in the video commentary.
05:56 Goodbye, and see you in subsequent videos
