00:22 One of the most dangerous and fierce animals in the animal kingdom is actually the hippopotamus.
00:27 [Music]
00:30 Their size, strength and aggressiveness makes them a formidable opponent against most animals.
00:35 [Music]
00:40 Hippos are dangerous creatures and are the animals responsible for more
00:44 human deaths than other animals, even crocodiles.
00:47 [Music]
00:55 The common hippo has really thick skin, several inches thick in places and as tough as rubber,
01:00 so it's hard to pierce their hides.
01:02 [Music]
01:08 They also have an impressive bite force with really large teeth.
01:12 [Music]
01:17 The canines of a hippo are self-sharpening and are over a foot long each,
01:21 and the pressure at each one of their canines is about 450 pounds per square inch.
01:26 [Music]
01:34 Hippos can defend themselves in a variety of ways.
01:37 [Music]
01:43 Surprisingly for their size, they're speedy runners,
01:46 hitting top speeds of around 30 miles per hour.
01:49 [Music]
01:57 That said, they don't often run from a fight as they can take on most predators.
02:02 [Music]
02:10 They use their teeth to pierce the body of other animals and use their massive size to their advantage.
02:15 [Music]
02:24 These highly aggressive animals are unpredictable and can attack with little provocation.
02:29 [Music]
02:33 Male hippos, on the other hand, regularly inflict serious injuries on each other with their massive teeth.
02:39 [Music]
02:48 The rhino has an impressive charge, but in close combat the enormous gape of the hippopotamus's mouth
02:54 probably gives it the advantage over the horn of the rhino.
02:57 [Music]
03:12 The hippopotamus is considered the world's deadliest large land mammal.
03:15 [Music]
03:18 Hippos are highly aggressive and are well equipped to deliver considerable damage
03:22 to anything that wanders into their territory.
03:24 [Music]
03:51 Wild dogs hunt mainly at dawn and dusk because they use their sense of sight to find prey.
03:56 [Music]
04:24 They usually approach silently, pursue the fleeing prey until it tires,
04:28 and then attack and kill the animal.
04:30 [Music]
04:48 Wild dogs do not have big powerful jaws like cats, so they cannot bring down large animals alone.
04:53 [Music]
04:56 Hunting in a pack requires cooperation among pack members.
04:59 This enables wild dogs to bring down animals five times their size.
05:03 [Music]
05:33 [Music]
05:47 In hippos and wild dogs fight, the weight of a male hippo is around 1500 until 1800 kilogram.
05:53 [Music]
05:57 The weight of a female hippo is around 1300 until 1500 kilogram.
06:01 [Music]
06:08 Meanwhile, body weight of adults wild dogs range from 18 to 36 kilogram.
06:13 [Music]
06:16 From this, we can see that hippos is weight nearly around 80 times bigger than wild dogs.
06:21 [Music]
06:40 So, it's difficult to determine the victory of the wild dogs is heard over the hippos.
06:44 [Music]
06:59 Unless the wild dogs pack are very large or they attack young hippos.

07:48 Warthogs are pigs who live in open and semi-open habitats,
07:51 even in quite arid regions in sub-saharan Africa.
07:55 [Music]
08:17 Although covered in bristly hairs, their bodies and heads appear largely naked from a distance,
08:22 with only the crest along the back and the tufts on their cheeks and tails being obviously haired.
08:28 [Music]
08:52 The warthog's lack of fur makes it extremely vulnerable to extreme heat,
08:56 so they seek relief by wallowing in mud.
08:59 This also serves to camouflage the animal and protect it from biting insects.
09:04 [Music]
09:25 The English name refers to their facial wattles, which are particularly distinct in males.
09:31 [Music]
09:44 They are largely herbivorous, but occasionally also eat small animals.
