00:00Look! There's a crocodile!
00:02It's fast!
00:04Do you see the crocodile?
00:06Yes, my God!
00:08It's crazy!
00:10Oh, my God!
00:12Oh, my God!
00:20We bring you the sightings of the most incredible wild animals in the world.
00:24Recorded by tourists who were in the right place at the right time.
00:54Run, run, run!
01:04That's how all safaris should be.
01:10In the African savannah,
01:12luck usually accompanies the big and strong animals.
01:19But sometimes things change,
01:21and unexpected heroes appear.
01:25The summer is very dangerous for the young.
01:30They are safe with their herd,
01:32but they are a real magnet for hungry predators.
01:42The thirsty herds go to the nearest lakes.
01:46And in the safaris, that's where the action takes place.
01:54Everything seems quiet,
01:56but not for long.
02:00There comes a herd with a large number of young.
02:04The dream of any predator.
02:12When you are almost at the end of the food chain,
02:15you have to be alert.
02:19They have seen them.
02:25African wild dogs.
02:29Resistant hunters who do not give up.
02:36In the escape, a young impala separates from the herd.
02:41The wild dogs are alert.
02:43They have seen a small impala next to the water.
02:46That's their goal.
02:48They haven't even seen the car behind them.
02:51They have seen it.
02:53Where is it?
02:54I don't know.
02:55It was there before.
03:05Look at it.
03:06Right behind the bush.
03:12Poor thing is going to drown.
03:18The impala follows his instincts.
03:20He is doing what he can to stay away from the dogs.
03:24Dying at the hands of one is not pleasant.
03:39He tries to swim to be safe.
03:42But he goes straight to a hyena.
03:47The impala is getting tired.
03:49It seems impossible to escape.
03:52Or maybe not.
03:55The wild dogs have seen another target.
03:59Oh, no.
04:00It's another impala.
04:02This one is different.
04:03It's not the same.
04:07Look.
04:08Look and you'll see.
04:09Shh, guys.
04:10Silence, please.
04:11You have to be quiet.
04:20The wild dogs manage to get to the second impala first.
04:23But the hyenas force the prey away.
04:28In a few minutes, there is barely any trace of the impala.
04:38Oh, my God.
04:39It was so fast.
04:43But the wild dogs don't give up.
04:49Oh, no.
04:52Oh, no.
04:57They're dragging the blood.
05:14Even though the hyenas have almost finished the prey,
05:16the dogs are still obsessed.
05:20Look at that.
05:24It's been a really nice distraction for the little impala.
05:29But it hasn't been long enough to escape.
05:31The pack has come back to intercept it.
05:38The impala is tired.
05:40But it'll never turn back again.
05:42It did.
05:49A hippopotamus is coming.
05:50No.
05:51Wow.
05:52It's so big.
06:00What could it do?
06:04Hippos are herbivores, so they're not usually a threat.
06:07Unless, of course, someone invades their pond.
06:09And that is when they can become very aggressive.
06:16The tusks are capable of causing serious damage.
06:18They can even split a crocodile in two.
06:23The impala has to get away.
06:28Nothing, nothing.
06:35It's going to get it.
06:37The impala has nothing for the third time in its life.
06:40This time, it's running away from a four-ton herbivore.
06:47It's coming back with the wild dogs.
06:57Look at the dog.
06:58It's going to the impala.
07:00It's going to get it.
07:02It's got it.
07:03Oh, no.
07:04Guys, watch out for the hippopotamus.
07:07It's eaten it up.
07:08Oh,NO.
07:09It's sucked the toast.
07:28The hippopotamus pushes the dog out of the pond.
07:31the dog to release the impala.
07:57Who would have imagined that the hippopotamus would end up being the bad guy?
08:06Hippos don't usually feed on other animals, although we know that it happens from time to time.
08:11However, we are not facing one of those cases.
08:15It is a reminder of how essential hippos can be, even with something so small and harmless.
08:21The wild dogs were the brain of the attack, but unfortunately, the hippopotamus has ruined its plans.
08:28It's a sad ending for the young impala.
08:30It just goes to show how fragile life can be when you're separated from your pack.
08:41We have lions in the southern area.
08:43They're heading north.
08:44They're hunting buffaloes.
08:45Over.
08:46Over.
08:47Over.
08:48They've been ambushed.
08:53Seeing a lion finish off such a large prey is amazing.
08:58Look, they're out there.
09:01Stop!
09:02Stop!
09:09In lion rides, hunting is a team sport.
09:13The females tend to lead the hunt, and the young learn on the go.
09:18If they work together, they are able to hunt much larger animals, such as newts and buffalos.
09:28Take a look.
09:29Wow!
09:31The buffalo is going for the lion.
09:33How strong!
09:35When lions hunt buffalos, the turns can change immediately.
09:38Buffalos tend to outnumber them and are very aggressive.
09:43There's a great twist to this.
09:45The lions are all in a little bit of a mess.
09:56A rookie male has joined the hunt and he's been outnumbered.
10:01He is now trapped in a tree, and the herd of buffalos is waiting for him.
10:08Oh no! He's trapped!
10:09Man!
10:10Wow!
10:12Buffalos are big prey, but they are also capable of killing lions.
10:15Many of these felines have lost their lives to buffalos.
10:18They are animals that fight to the death.
10:25They could surround the one in the tree.
10:29That's not a good idea.
10:31Not at all.
10:33The lions want to help, but they are cautious.
10:41If they manage to get the lion down, they will kill him.
10:51The lion has not made a good decision.
11:01Look at him.
11:02He's there, in the tree, and he's got all the buffalos under him.
11:11They can smell him.
11:13Look, look!
11:18Unable to reach him with his horns, the buffalo tries to bite the lion.
11:35The lionesses do not intend to leave the young male behind.
11:38They are trying to scare away the buffalos.
11:48Finally, they give him a breath.
11:51And the lion takes advantage of it.
11:57Victory for the felines.
12:00The lion has been lucky to come out alive.
12:09The sunset gives a breath of the summer heat.
12:13And the night brings unexpected action.
12:19At all seasons we have a fight between hippopotamus and rhinoceros.
12:33A hippopotamus has become aggressive with a huge rhinoceros.
12:39It's the first time I've seen something like this.
12:43At night, the hippopotamus come out of the water to graze.
12:47The fights with rhinoceros do not go as planned.
13:09Oh!
13:15The hippopotamus has started.
13:19But the rhinoceros is going to leave him on the ground.
13:22It's much bigger than him.
13:23It's true.
13:27It's not the first time we've seen a hippopotamus do something so unpredictable.
13:31You just never know what goes through their heads.
13:35They have one of the strongest bites on the planet.
13:37And they're very fast.
13:40They reach a speed of more than 29 kilometers per hour.
13:46These two giants follow similar diets.
13:48But they shouldn't fight for food.
13:50There's more than enough for both.
13:54Rhinoceroses are solitary animals.
13:56But females usually move in small groups when they go with their young.
14:00This one is not alone.
14:01So the hippopotamus should be careful.
14:04A protective rhinoceros mother could do a lot of damage to a hippopotamus.
14:14But what is he doing?
14:16At this point, I wonder how much patience the rhinoceros has left.
14:27I think I'm sick of him.
14:30Are we going to have a fight?
14:36They haven't gotten very aggressive.
14:38It's almost as if they were playing.
14:43They threaten each other as if it were a warm-up before the fight.
14:51When will the rhinoceros run out of patience?
14:54It's clear that he's had enough.
14:59Then the hippopotamus goes a step further.
15:02And it's starting to get really annoying.
15:11The rhino is coming!
15:14And the hippopotamus is following.
15:16And the rhino is following him.
15:18And the hippopotamus is following him.
15:20And the hippopotamus is following him.
15:22This is where the patience of the rhinoceros is running out and for the hippopotamus,
15:28he realizes that he's got himself in a bit of a mess.
15:43Ow, ow, ow, ow, that's got to hurt.
15:46That's got to hurt.
15:47Ow.
15:48The hippopotamus thinks twice.
15:52Too far.
15:58And gets fine, so he's off to the next piece.
16:08Yeah, he's off.
16:22Let's just see what she's going to do.
16:37Yeah.
16:42The truth is, the hippopotamus is in a pretty bad situation.
16:46Obviously, he's been eaten by a pack of lions.
16:53I think the lions have surprised him and he's asleep.
16:57And the lions have gone after him and they've chased him up to the tree.
17:03It's very difficult to see a leopard.
17:05They're very sluggish.
17:08Leopards often rest in the trees.
17:10That's because they feel safer and they're able to take their prey away from other carnivores like the lions.
17:20Leopards and lions hunt similar prey in nearby territories.
17:24They are two of the most dangerous predators in Africa and they compete with each other constantly.
17:29Leopards are inferior in number and size, so they usually run away.
17:34But if they are caught, they are going to be a problem.
17:37This leopard has been chased by the lions and now it's his turn to stay still.
17:42It's unlikely that the lions would climb such a weak tree.
17:48It has to back down, not move.
17:50You can see it's trying to decide what it's going to do next.
17:54But the lions don't move from there.
18:01And the leopard decides to flee.
18:17He has chosen a bad time to escape.
18:21And now it's a game of life.
18:44This is a tough situation for us to understand.
18:50There is an instinct in the lions to kill any other big feline that competes with them.
18:57If you watch the lions closely, you'll see that they don't really feel like killing the leopard.
19:02They'll just do what their instinct tells them to do.
19:09The lions are careful.
19:11A leopard's claw does a lot of damage.
19:14And this one is a fighter.
19:24The guards follow a strict policy of non-interference.
19:27They can't intervene.
19:30The leopard stays on guard, trying to show submission,
19:33so the lions can't capture him and take him down.
19:36The leopard is lying on his back, trying to show himself submissive so that the lions
19:59don't lose interest, but I don't think it's going to work.
20:06The leopard has made a fatal mistake.
20:09He's jumped out of the tree and, you know, it's become violent.
20:17The lions won't let him get away.
20:19They're going to kill him.
20:22This is not what I wanted you to see.
20:27Are you all right?
20:28I'm not going to look.
20:29Okay.
20:32The law of the savannah can be difficult to digest.
20:35It's like the lions don't even eat it.
20:47No.
20:48Yes.
20:49Look at the position of the legs.
20:55One of the lions finally strangles the leopard and ends his suffering.
21:00Violent.
21:01Very violent.
21:06The safaris are a roller coaster of emotions.
21:12They are full of beauty and tough moments.
21:16It is that feeling of expectation that moves us.
21:24The opportunity to see something that others rarely see.
21:29What is that?
21:32What a weird bug.
21:35What size does it usually have?
21:38They're more or less like dogs.
21:41It depends a lot on the specimen.
21:43But yes, like a medium-sized dog.
21:46That one over there is looking for termites.
21:49The termites live underground, but their cities appear on the surface.
21:53It's a fortress where the colony lives.
21:56Over time, the mounds become hard like rocks.
21:59But the anthill pigs are one of the few animals that can cross them with their strong claws,
22:04and then extract the termites with their long, sticky tongues.
22:12This anthill pig is occupied with a colony of termites,
22:16and he doesn't realize that he has company.
22:20It's a brown hyena.
22:22That's amazing.
22:29Brown hyenas are solitary, unlike their mottled sisters.
22:33They are also much more difficult to see.
22:35There are less than 10,000 left in freedom.
22:40They aren't really often, but they are opportunistic, so the menu can change daily.
22:46And anthill pigs don't see well during the day.
22:49They're night animals.
22:54The hyena has seen it.
23:09Go get him!
23:12Will the hyena hear in time?
23:19The anthill pig still doesn't realize it's coming.
23:26Run, run, run!
23:37Suddenly, it disappears.
23:40How fast!
23:43And it's so flexible to get into the burrow so fast.
23:56It's gone.
24:011-0 for the anthill pig.
24:05I'm sorry for the hyena.
24:08The anthill pig could be up to two meters underground.
24:12The hyena decides to dig, but the anthill pig uses its tunnels and moves very fast.
24:21So the hyena ends up giving up.
24:32Wow, look at that.
24:34The hyenas don't like the presence of the anthill pig, so they decide to get rid of it.
24:47We're in the wild.
24:50And here, the biggest threat could come from someone of your own species.
25:05Why are they fighting?
25:07I don't know.
25:08Incredible.
25:09The anthill pig is one of the most fascinating animals you can find on a safari.
25:15What is happening here?
25:17That's a very good question.
25:22Are they males or females?
25:27Female hyenas are born with high levels of testosterone, and they have what's called a pseudopenis,
25:34so they're often confused with males.
25:36In most cases, they're also bigger and more dominant than them.
25:45Females are known to fight each other for dominance, but in this case, we have two males,
25:50and the one that's losing is the lower-ranking one.
25:53It could be that it has left its clan recently, which is the nature of the hyena,
25:57which is the nature of ensuring genetic variation.
26:00But now, it's come across a rival male.
26:05What aggressiveness.
26:07It can't escape.
26:12The spoiled hyena's jaw is one of the most powerful in the animal kingdom,
26:16but why attack one of your own?
26:25Because they're in the water.
26:27So, the dominant male goes behind the head and neck of the intruder,
26:30to try to stay away from the mouth.
26:34What strength they have in their jaws.
26:45The victim twists and manages to escape.
26:53The jaws have changed.
27:17Do you see it?
27:20Yes, I see it.
27:28Sorry.
27:31The dominant male comes out of the water.
27:33He's won.
27:41Is he okay?
27:43I don't know.
27:44No idea.
27:45The defeated male tries to catch his breath.
27:47They're both exhausted, but it looks like he's come out alive.
27:55Look at those eyes.
28:03The aggressor comes back for more.
28:16It looked like it was over.
28:19If only he had gone when he had the chance, he would have escaped.
28:25But, now they've started again.
28:33They fight without mercy, and the result can be lethal.
28:43Conflicts in the African savannah can get ugly,
28:48but nature doesn't take long to redeem itself.
29:00We've got a leopard in the river.
29:03A leopard is resting on the bed of a river.
29:13He's so young.
29:29Suddenly, something catches his attention.
29:58It's a white caribou.
30:01He's heading straight for danger.
30:04Oh, my God.
30:05He's so cute.
30:07The leopard seems intrigued,
30:10and the duck has no idea of the danger he's in.
30:22The feline moves to get a closer look.
30:45Don't lose sight of him.
30:51There he goes.
30:56The leopard chases him by instinct,
30:58but the duck gets under the car
31:02and runs to hide in the bushes.
31:05No, I can't look.
31:07Hey, he's escaping.
31:11Oh, my God.
31:17The leopard catches the duck.
31:22Oh, no.
31:23Yes, he's got him.
31:26The game is over.
31:29Oh, man.
31:43He's still alive.
31:53That's crazy.
31:56Wow.
31:57Oh, my God.
32:00Look at his face.
32:06The duck runs for his life.
32:12Run, run, run.
32:14Come on.
32:17And he manages to hide in a bush.
32:24I don't see where he's gone.
32:28Guys, look over there.
32:35He's escaped.
32:38One of the deadliest felines in Africa,
32:40defeated by a duck.
32:46In a safari, anything can happen.
32:49There's little certainty.
32:51But one thing is certain.
32:53Animals always go to the water.
32:56And we go after them.
33:07In the African swamps,
33:08the antelope herds gather in their aquatic fortress.
33:23The antelopes are difficult to hunt
33:25because of their unique extended claws,
33:27perfect for running through soft and swampy terrain.
33:32Their strong hind legs allow them to jump in the water
33:35and they're also excellent swimmers.
33:37All this allows them to enjoy great mobility
33:40in the environment they choose,
33:42whether it's a swamp or a river.
33:45Wow, look at him.
33:46There he is.
33:52Look, there's a crocodile.
33:54Do you see the crocodile?
33:56Oh, my God.
33:57Yes, my God.
33:59The antelope has decided to cross the canal.
34:02He's going for him.
34:03They are generally swimming without problems
34:05in large masses of water like this.
34:07He's fast.
34:09But this antelope didn't expect to be chased.
34:13They're distracting him.
34:14Oh, my God.
34:15How strong.
34:16This is incredible.
34:19Oh, my God.
34:21They're distracting him.
34:23Oh, my God.
34:26How does he run?
34:27Now we're witnessing a race.
34:30This is crazy.
34:33Oh, my God.
34:34Oh, my God.
34:35Oh, my God.
34:39Wow.
34:40Run, run, run, run, run, run, run.
34:44Yes.
34:46Good.
34:48You always go with the weakest one.
34:52The strength and speed of the antelope have saved him.
34:57It has sunk when the crocodile was about to catch it,
35:00and it has slipped at the last moment.
35:09It has been an amazing flight that has saved his life.
35:13In the safaris, we see scenes of the daily battle for survival.
35:18And in the savannah, that fight is usually of fangs against claws.
35:23Here we have a few leopards.
35:28A deer has crossed with three cheetahs.
35:38We have already seen that when two cats meet,
35:40there is an assured problem.
35:42So we really don't know what's going to happen.
35:51The cheetah is getting closer.
35:53The deer doesn't run away.
35:57The deer is doing the same thing that a cat would do when it feels threatened.
36:00It turns aside, puffs up, and tries to make itself look bigger than it is.
36:06The herons are much smaller than the cheetahs.
36:09The latter are very fast, but the herons have amazing agility.
36:14They can jump more than 2.5 meters high to catch birds.
36:18They have long, pointed claws, and very sharp teeth.
36:26What makes this encounter interesting is that the cheetah is shy by nature,
36:30and that's why it doesn't attack like other big cats.
36:35But the cheetah could also be considered a rival.
36:38The cheetah has to be careful, because it could decide to show it who's in charge.
36:44Now this is a fascinating situation.
36:46The front of the cheetah transmits submission,
36:49but the back is still lifted in an attempt to intimidate.
36:53So it maintains both postures, it's smart.
36:56If it ran, the cheetah would catch it, and the cheetah knows it.
37:02Let's see what happens.
37:06It's grunting, it's a warning.
37:09It's actually a cheetah.
37:15The cats are still in position.
37:18The cheetah could hurt it.
37:20Really?
37:21Yes, it could leave it badly wounded.
37:36It's smaller than it is, but it could see it as a potential rival.
37:46The cheetah is wise, it decides it's not worth fighting.
37:52A much better encounter than the lion and leopard encounter.
37:55I'm so glad that the cheetah has put a face on it.
38:05The summer is a hotbed of activity in the savannah.
38:08Many animals that have been less active in winter return to the load.
38:13As is the case with the deadliest snakes in Africa.
38:19Mambas two meters long.
38:24Enormous venomous cobras.
38:27And up to 15 types of vipers.
38:30Among them, the infamous buffalo viper.
38:34With its long fangs and dangerous bite.
38:39Its venom can cause serious cell damage.
38:42Even lions and rhinos fear it.
38:50But not this bird.
38:52Look, they've caught something.
38:55They have two buffalo vipers.
38:58Don't let it go.
38:59They are southern calaos.
39:01And they eat buffalo vipers.
39:10They are the biggest one species in the world.
39:12And they tend to spend most of their time on the ground.
39:15Hunting one of their favorite prey.
39:18The snakes.
39:21They are equipped to face them.
39:23They have long and thick beaks that act like tweezers.
39:26So the snake doesn't get to bite them.
39:32The buffalo viper has found the antler of its shoe.
39:37The calao prevents the snake from biting it.
39:40It breaks its spine and hits its head.
39:51But before eating.
39:53It's time to kill snakes.
39:57The adult teaches the chick how to do it.
40:06These are fascinating birds.
40:08They survive on the basis of snakes.
40:11And the child is doing great.
40:13Plunging the snake just like his dad.
40:15He's stabbing it with the beak.
40:17That one still has the tail.
40:19Yeah, what's missing is the head.
40:26It's very interesting.
40:27This family of calaos has caught two snakes.
40:29It's very interesting.
40:30They likely caught them at a crucial moment.
40:32Or they were mating or fighting.
40:34They've had a great time.
40:36It's a pretty big flock.
40:38And they need a few snakes to survive.
40:48Look, they're fighting for her.
40:50Yeah, that's right.
40:52The snakes had him raw.
40:58As we've seen,
40:59the best sightings often happen near mass of water.
41:03Where predators hunt the unpredictable prey.
41:07But today, the predator is in a tight spot.
41:14It's time to go home.
41:16It's time to go home.
41:19The lion found itself in a big mess.
41:25He's trapped in the river,
41:27surrounded by a flock of hippos.
41:39There is a saying that cats hate water.
41:41They can swim,
41:42but they do it if they don't have any other choice.
41:46The river is quite agitated by the rain.
41:48So there must be a very good reason for him to have decided to cross it.
41:53He's got caught in the middle of the road.
41:55And a flock of angry hippos has forced him onto a rock.
41:59Maybe he was being chased.
42:01I don't know.
42:02Maybe they were chasing him down.
42:05Maybe he was being chased.
42:07I don't know.
42:08He's got caught in a river.
42:10Maybe he was being chased.
42:12Maybe he was being chased by something.
42:18We've seen that hippos don't tolerate intruders in their territory,
42:22but do they have the courage to take on a lion?
42:25What a shame. You can tell he's exhausted.
42:30On land, lions can hunt hippos.
42:33But in the water, things change, and things get fierce for the lion.
42:49Watch out! Watch out!
42:51One of the hippos is fed up and decides to go get him.
43:10That's crazy! Where is he?
43:13He's going to have a hard time.
43:16He's fighting against the current.
43:19The lion is struggling to come out alive.
43:24He even swims past a hippo on his way to the shore.
43:30He manages to get away with a bite on his hair and manages to escape.
43:35I don't think he'll try to cross that river again.
43:40Unhappy endings.
43:42Tremendous escapes.
43:44An epic safari
43:46that's always full of ups and downs.
