00:00 [HIPPO GROWLING]
00:03 Once your calf is born, this hippo
00:07 will keep her baby away for two weeks,
00:13 not only to protect it from predators,
00:18 but more importantly, so that she and her newborn
00:21 can learn to identify each other.
00:26 Two weeks later, it's time to return to the river.
00:29 But with the threat of opportunistic predators
00:35 in the vicinity, will the newborn become easy prey?
00:41 The little newcomer drew unwanted attention.
00:45 His mother was well aware of the danger,
00:48 but the crocodiles weren't her only concern.
00:53 A lion in search for prey, her calf a perfect target.
00:59 And this young male was heading straight for them.
01:01 However, the mother is less concerned about the fact
01:08 that the river belonged to another predator.
01:12 This might cost her a lot.
01:13 The lion braved the waters while focused on finding the calf.
01:21 [HIPPO GROWLING]
01:24 The lion was facing a protective mother.
01:31 His courageous mother believed she has saved his life.
01:43 Unfortunately, she failed.
01:48 Two crocodiles viciously tear apart a defenseless baby hippo
01:52 in a brutal attack.
01:54 There was nothing she could do.
02:04 She was frustrated and confused, not knowing where to go.
