we all know that the lion is known as the king of the jungle in the african wilderness
this is one of the most fearsome predators on land with the strength to surpass as many other animals
however when underwater lions lose their inherent advantage they also have to fight swamp assassins
and those are the crocodile and the hippopotamus when faced with an opponent in the water does
the lion have any chance to win let's watch the whole video with swag to get the answer right away
what happens when a line crosses a river full of hippos and crocodiles
unlike tigers and jaguars lions are inherently adverse to rivers
it's not the lions can't swim in fact this animal is quite good at swimming in some cases when
hunting or moving to another area lions definitely must use their swimming skills when they have
to leave their home field advantage though the line becomes more clumsy and fragile than most
maybe on land the lion is a heroic animal but when it loses its home field advantage
it will have to face predators with a disadvantage in the water
this mail line wants to cross a river to the other side to reunite with his pride under the
calm river ferocious crocodiles with sharp teeth and giant hippos await this is their
territory so both hippos and crocodiles will not hesitate to attack an intruder even a lion
so what will the lion do next the mail line carefully explored the terrain
avoiding unnecessary conflicts was the right thing to do at this point in time
the lion climbed the rocks and approached the other side carefully
a hippopotamus approached a line that had swum to investigate no confrontation happened and the
lions safely climbed to the shore however lions are not always so lucky to avoid fights with
swamp killers two male lions are drinking in the niyati river between botswana and namibia
the two young male lions are of a growing age and seem to be getting lost in the pride
after drinking and thinking for a while the two lions agreed to swim across the river
to reach the vast step in front of them to find their new territory
but just a few meters away a nile crocodile was patrolling along the riverbank
and spotted the two young male lions the giant crocodile silently swims towards the two lions
and it attacked a smaller one and quickly pulled it under the water
however the other line did not abandon its brother and the larger line immediately jumped
on top of the crocodile this caused it to lose its grip and it had to release the smaller line
after a while of fighting the results were final luck had smiled on the lion brothers
the older one was not subdued by the crocodile and managed to climb onto the nearby shore and
the younger one had enough time to recover and swim back to the shore although the brothers
were temporarily separated preserving their lives was a huge success for them
not only do lions have to worry about confrontations with crocodiles they also
have to be wary of hippos every time they swim across the river three male lions were leisurely
swimming across the river when suddenly they heard the sound of the water rumbling in the distance
with only that slight warning a hippopotamus darted forward furiously
witnessing the scene a male line panicked and immediately turned his head towards the shore
meanwhile the other two tried to speed up to reach the other shore
however with its incredible speed the hippo caught up with the lion despite being quite far away
it lunges forward and opens its huge mouth wide unleashing a series of violent snaps intended to
hurt trespassers and it's not a threat luckily for the lions hippos are inflexible and have
poor eyesight so they miss a lot with their attacks however the lion had to go through
a traumatic water experience and almost died before the strength and ferocity of the hippo
