Don’t let the hippo’s somewhat “ticklish” appearance fool you. In Africa, it is one of the animals considered to be the most aggressive and dangerous.
Who among us can not love the lion, the greatest and bravest animal in the world, and at the same time an undefeated predator with no rival in nature.
Throughout human history, lions have been considered a symbol of strength. We often say “strong as a lion”. Westerners call conscientious people people with “lion hearts”. Many royal courts around the world have painted lions on their national emblems and flags to demonstrate their power. The lion is honored as the king of the jungle perhaps not because no animal can defeat the lion, but because of the terror that the lion has caused to humans and animals. The ancient Egyptians believed that the lion was a mascot.
Yet in the clip below, an animal with a somewhat “ticklish” appearance can attack and even force the lion to submit to its strength.
At the Maasai Mara reserve in Kenya, a tourist accidentally recorded a rare encounter between a lion and a hippo.
Accordingly, it seems that ravenous hunger made a female lion decide to take the risk of approaching a large hippo that was resting.
The lion immediately regretted his extravagant actions. Awakened, the hippo slowly woke up, looked around and perhaps thought that a friend in the herd had woken him up. However, when he discovered the truth that there was no friend but only a lion who was daring to do bad things, this made the hippo angry.
It immediately chased the lion to “relieve” its anger. Despite its lumbering and slow appearance, the hippo possesses extremely fast speeds of up to 48 km/h, so it can easily chase most of its opponents.
After pushing the lion extremely violently, the hippo also used its teeth to capture the lion’s head and threw it into the air before knocking it down.
Luckily for the lion, he only intended to confront it and did not intend to chase and kill it.
According to statistics, on average each year, about 2,900 people die because of hippopotamuses, a much larger number than cases caused by famous “bloodthirsty” predators like sharks.
