00:07 Every lake and river has a resident population of hippos.
00:11 [Music]
00:14 They are social creatures but they are also territorial.
00:18 [Music]
00:22 He is one of Africa's most dangerous animals.
00:25 But he needs to be cautious.
00:28 [Music]
00:30 His enemies are notoriously bad temper and they could be anywhere.
00:35 [Music]
00:37 Wild dogs are also social animals whose strength lies in their large numbers.
00:43 They can kill prey that is five times its size.
00:47 [Music]
00:50 But when it comes to a hippo, it's actually almost 100 times its size.
00:55 [Music]
00:59 None of them even dared to approach him.
01:02 They know the intensity of his crushing jaw.
01:07 They turned away from the opponent in frustration.
01:13 But in the jungle, there is always a second plan to provide food for the whole family.
01:18 Not far from the hippo, there was a female bush bug.
01:26 It seems that the operation to catch her was not that difficult for the pack.
01:33 As more dogs arrive, things are not looking good for the antelope.
01:42 Suddenly, the hippo comes back again and it looks like he saved the antelope from the first sight.
01:50 Now the antelope is stuck in the mud.
01:57 And the dogs return.
01:59 [Music]
02:22 The large male hippo has killed the antelope and thrown it clear of the mud.
02:28 Leaving it as easy prey for these hungry predators.
02:35 The hippo didn't deliberately kill this antelope.
02:39 It was meant to keep them all out of its area of influence.
02:45 Finally, the wild dogs were given a good meal to satisfy their empty stomachs.
