the mother hippo tries to protect her car from the evil male hippo but fails
when a male hippo is threatened by a rival for dominance the only option for it is to
engage in uncompromising combat and this war is more intense than you can imagine
they can lead to not just one but many deaths
why so many deaths watch the video to the end to find out
hippos are large herbivorous mammals living half on land half in water in the sub-saharan africa
each male hippo will occupy a territory in rivers lakes or swamps
with a herd of about five to thirty females and their calves
dubbed the most aggressive and dangerous creature in africa and in the world
the hippopotamus is especially aggressive when it comes to encroachment
on its territories and the females in its herd
the territorial battles of male hippos can last for hours
even leading to the death of one of the two opponents
in luangwa valley in zambia a country located in
southern africa in the dry season when the river waters fall to a record low
are forced to find deeper places
and the hippos enter a protracted territorial war
even crocodiles can be attacked to death if they step into hippo territory
the power of the hippo is horrifying
the territory of this male hippopotamus is being threatened by other strong males
that's when it was forced into a head-to-head confrontation
with their mouths wide open pressed together
both hippos try to use their big teeth to hurt each other
both of them rose and fell for a while ending with the host taking the upper hand
gripping the opponent's upper jaw with terrifying force with its jaws
their jaws can open up to 180 degrees and have bite force of up to 280 pounds per centimeter
there is not any harmony lost between the two male hippos
even between the father hippo and his calf the father is constantly looking for opportunities
to abuse his son with his 30 to 50 centimeter long teeth
in contrast the mother hippopotamus will risk everything for her kids
they will become extremely scary when they need to protect their kids
the ferocious hippo is said to have defeated the baby hippo's father in the battle for dominance
it chased away the opponent before attacking the young
male hippos usually kill the calves of other males in order to mate with as many females as possible
the reason is that if the calf is not around and wants to suckle
the mother hippo will be ready to be pregnant again with his children this time
this heartbreaking clip shows a baby hippo just about a week old getting caught in the jaws of
an adult male hippo before being dunked in the water and unfortunately drowned with its large
teeth the hippo weighing nearly 4 000 pounds open its mouth to bite the small body of the calf
scratching and causing the animal's body to be scratched and bleed profusely weighing
only around 100 pounds the baby hippo is absolutely no match for the adult
the killer only took about two minutes to end the life of this poor little animal
a whole thing took place in front of a whole herd of hippos including the mother of the baby hippo
but they were all helpless before the so-called law
hippos are one of the most aggressive animals in the world
and the top of the group of animals in africa
the jaws of the hippopotamus can crush a 10-foot crocodile
despite having a large body and four short legs
hippos easily accelerate to 30 miles per hour when on land and can overtake humans
as the third heaviest land mammal the male hippopotamus can reach
up to 1800 pounds in weight and 16 feet in length
so be careful when encountering a hippo
