Incredible footage showing some rare interactions, captured on a safari with Chasin' Africa Safaris (Book with them here: bit.ly/ChasinAfrica) at one of the top dams in Kruger, Gezanftombi Dam, near Crocodile Bridge.
Chase told Latestsightings.com of this ordeal: “We stopped to watch all the animals come down to drink and saw a cool heron surfing on the back of a hippo, it was an enjoyable sight having all the different species around.

An unsuspecting group of wildebeest sauntered down to the water’s edge for a drink when a huge crocodile jumped right out and immediately grabbed one of the wildebeest, keeping its jaws locked on the animals head. Next moment another croc raced in to try and get something off the menu. The hippos close by seemed to be very perturbed by what was happening and it looked for a moment as if they also wanted to join in on this kill. They kept the wildebeest surrounded and it all looked like a pretty hopeless situation.
The wildebeest was obviously exhausted and it seemed as if the hippos sensed its fear of the whole ordeal. They calmly kept close by to wildebeest but he seemed to have spooked and picked up a second wind changing direction and seeking another escape route. The hippos followed until he reached the shore and managed to get himself out of the water but his back foot was completely injured and one could not help but wonder what his final outcome would be if with the damage he endured.
It was exciting to watch in the beginning but then a deep sense of sadness overcame everyone. Nature can be cruel but the circle of life must go on”.

Hippos and Crocodiles are like neighbors that always hate each other!
Yeah. And the Hippos are the good ones.
Crocs know not to mess with the Hippos.
Coz hippo hates non vegetarian.
Lmao
@Tom 1592009 you can live well with someone you hate.if hippos were carnivorous i don't think the crocs would still be living so well the only reason why they get a long is because they both have very strong body armor granted the hippos is better theirs no reason for the hippo to be scared of a crocodile while a crocodile have every reason to be scared of them.
Wildebeest: "Y'all mind if I... hangout with you guys forever?"
2:13 Hippo responds with Angry NOOO
😂
“Everyone gets one.”
@@alexandercrush That Hippo was ready to crush the Wildebeest
🤣🤣
wildebeest: thank- hipos: we were protecting our territory
lmao
Now get off my lawn!!!
The wildebeest needs to get away from the waterside fast,or the crocodiles might sense another opportunity before it can recover,if it's not too badly injured.
nah you can see them actually making sure it didn’t drown. They were lifting it above the water. Amazing.
@@davideskerlot2945 they just woke up in the good side of their water bed. 98% of the time, they run fades against any species that they find to be intruding in their territories.

@@Mke_KP I was gonna say that. 😂
Until they face rhinoceros.
Do Hippos actually care about the Wildebeest? I think they might just be annoyed by Crocodiles in the first place.
nah they just hate crocodiles lol
Hippos didn’t seem to care about the wildebeest haha. But they inadvertently saved it
Gustaf Grei Nope. There's actually a video on this channel where a wildebeest jumps into water to escape wilddogs and a hippo kills and semi-eats it.
Gustaf Grei no they just dont wanna see crocs winning
Hippos are vegans and they hate crocs for eating meat and causing global warming to increase
Hippo: hey long boi. Croc: leave me alone thicc boi

It still going to be someone else’s easy prey, now that it’s injured.
Most likely the lion.

It’s the circle of life.

Maybe its ok or not too bad.
Hippos don't play with anybody. Its THEIR water..
Yeh, very territorial!
why can't they chase the crocs away

Then why they didn't chase the crocodile away ???? Say it dumb ass
Lmao can imagine his friends face when they see him alive

What friends?
Probably already fucking his girl.
2:05 The hippos look like cult members that summoned Satan himself...
FR THO LIL
Lolol
Wildebeest: Thank you ver- Hippos: bye felicia..
It survived, but that wildebeest is still a goner. A prey animal that can hardly walk, much less run, in an environment full of hungry predators. Yeah, I'll give it 24 hours, tops.
Jordan Taylor true
Jordan Taylor you are too kind, you gave him 24hours? I give it 4hours max..
Yeah unfortunately he will be an easy dinner for lions or hyenas.
the lions will feast on that wildabeast tonight if not sooner!
Jordan Taylor racist much?
Not "saved;" just delayed the inevitable.
wachatalknboutwillis that was the secon cro who pulled its hoof
But aren't all rescues temporary in the strict sense?
It’s okay, the Hippos got Ironman.
It's clear they helped
Final Destination
Hippo's after saving be like:Thank us later bro.
Hippos: aye bro that’s my homie man’s we gotta stop that croc
Hippo: what are you doing? Croc: shut up yo mama is so fat! Hippo: you’ve chosen not to eat today.
kzhead.info/sun/a8lyoZZreGiwdoU/bejne.html
0:31 my favorite moment. When the big croc walks forward pushing that heavy wildebeest with his mouth... and in the mud! Amazing strenght!! What a beast
Crocs are awesome
Yeah very powerful animal i wonder why they're listed as one do the strongest animals pound for pound
When he returns to the rest of his herd - Everyone: Heeeeey Wildebeest: Just don’t.
😂🤣😂
I’d leave him too, can’t catch me dead
Underrated comment!😂😂
😂😂😂
I've never seen this...amazing! Hippos are very family oriented and really just get tired of the crocs always killing everything. Unfortunately, I don't think the wildebeest will survive the next 24 hours.
More territory oriented if anything .Adult male hippos kill baby hippos all the time .
@Visalakshi Mahadevan just because it happens sometimes doesn’t mean they kill every baby they see
Crocs: You picked the wrong riverbank fool! Hippos: Yo Croc... you in OUR territory!
Misleading title. Should be "Hippos prevent quick death of wildebeest, forcing it to walk to freedom on it's own snapped leg before wild dogs find it and eat its insides through its anus whilst it's still alive."
I see you’re a man of knowledge
Came here to say something similar too lol
lmao...preach
Can’t be so sure of that, if it does die which may or may not happen, then it prob would be less painful than getting eaten alive
@@rohanbhuckory1297 you do realize that just because it escaped doesn't mean it still can't die from being eaten alive..
The hippo was pretty much Daring the croc to bite😂
Imagine if the hippos turned the wildebeest into mince after that. These guys would have gone nuts.
I don't believe the Hippos were protecting the Wildebeest, Hippos are extremely aggressive and territorial. The crocs were too close to them with their hunt. They probably didn't want those crocs to be near them at all. Either way that wildbeest will die anyway with that broken leg.
SeleneTheWerewolf
SeleneTheWerewolf wait wait wait so you dont think that the wildeebeast can go back to the hippo go defend him from each land predator
I also believe the hippos wanna cut off their meal time so they can starve and die off and gtfo of their territory.
@@ufcfighter1488 lol
Who said they were protecting it?
Sorry to say but it's over for this guy with the broken hoof. Lions or Hyenna will finish him off easily. Won a fight but didn't win the war. :-/
everything dies sometimes
Check out the fucking expert ladies and gents

Hippos dont know that lol
ButtZilla yup
Hippos are badass! Imagine just chilling in the lake with crocs.
The guy filming is the type of guy to think talking louder than someone means you win the argument
After saving the wildbeest I think wild dogs and hyenas will thank hippos to give them easy prey
Omar Alshboul xxxx
Omar Alshboul 😴
If he is unlucky but it seems luck has been in favor
I'm sure a pride of lions made an easy meal of the injured wildebeest.
Fr33 Worker Did you even see the almost AMPUTATED right hoof? How can it be "fine"?! There are no surgeons among the wildebeests. That animal will suffer immense pain until it is killed by predators or by infection if by some miracle it makes it through a week.
love to see hippos and wildebeest expert arguing in the comments
2 crocs eating a wildebeest: Breakfast is serves!! Hippos: Hey! Leave him alone, git!!
**Crocodiles were water gangsters, then hippos were water police too**
Wildebeest and Cape Buffalo on land can kill Lions and Hyenas but they always get slaughtered in water.
ı never seen crocodile get cape buffalo down. send me link ?:)
Killing lion is no easy task for even human with gun, rest alone any inferior creatures
Wildebeast has no chance with a lion.
Are you american

"Can't Walk Cant RUN Easy DAY" - Every Predator
The wildebeest is a goner, a turtle could keep up with it, if it tried.
I don't think the hippos "saved" the wildebeest.. I just think the hippos were pissed off that the Crocs were causing a commotion around them, and they were like "get the hell away from me".. so they started snapping at the Crocs, and the Crocs are naturally afraid of the hippos per se, because they tolerate each other, they don't particularly like each other, and the Crocs know that the hippos can bite them in half if they really wanted to, and so the Crocs saw that the hippos were getting pissed off, thus they backed away...P.S that wildebeest wouldn't last 24 hours with that Broken Wheel..
I agree.
John Maselli smartass
Malitha Dharmawardhane Smartass?? Ok
Instead of "saved" try "subjected to LONGER, MORE PAINFUL and DRAWN OUT death"
John Maselli . Then why hippo didn't attacked wildebeest?
2:10 the wildebeest is like “geesh thanks guys”
That small croc watching from the outside at 1:35. He’s smart staying out of it.
Crocs: I can bite Hippos: I bite harder
Damn Hippys always trying to promote peace and unity
while being one of the most aggressive things out there lol
RL Agito just like america
REALLY? because if you wouldn't be so dumb, they're the number 1 killer of humans in Africa last time i checked. dumbass.
Chia Lee would you like to be killed by crocodiles or lions ? So shut up
Paduka Pahala wow! That comparison makes really sense! Hippos doesnt have any common sense. Doesnt know where to stop. Are bullies and ugly too! USA= Ugly azz hippo!
Even in the animal kingdom there's acts of kindness.
This was not kindness they just don't want the Crocs to swarm the river and make a mess
@@oyuntsetsegoyuna8333no son you nEed brain
That one hippo escorting wildebeest was like: "get out now before i change my mind."
crazy how strong those nile crocs are and to think they start life the size of a small iguana
This is a fascinating sighting for quite a few reasons..you see the wildebeest go to drink with the hippos standing quietly on the opposite bank..you think the same here as the wildebeest are drinking but the peace is shattered by the sudden eruption out of the water by the croc to grab the wildebeest by its head..then another coming in for the kill:it's a total frenzy and the wildebeest was so lucky to escape those jaws and their death roll..the commotion brought the hippos and they're very territorial;if you watch closely you can see the crocs have no space to drag the wildebeest under;they are totally surrounded by very angry hippos;and that wildebeest lived to limp another day..the sad thing is,is that it will probably be another predator's meal with a limp like that.Excellent filming to capture this sighting so well and another top-class upload~
Damn, nile crocs are true monsters. Just look at their power, they drag that adult wildebeest into the water like a rag doll.
Alberto Bazan they have the most powerful bite as well if any animal. Furthermore, they rotate their body when they bite so if the prey gets out they won't know which way is up or down and be very giddy. If it weren't for the territorial hippos the beast was never getting out but it's doomed with that injury
And yet, they pale in comparison to the Hippo.
jmw545 yes they do but in strictly terms of bite force a croc wins, however a hippo will quite easily kill any saltwater
thepurple dolphin what do you mean “no”? A croc DOES have a stronger bite than a hippo, HOWEVER a Hippo would always win if they two fought. Don’t just say no when you’re ignorant of the facts.
thepurple dolphin well thanks for explaining and although they do coexist usually without fighting a hippo can absolutely kill a croc if it bothered to
Who's the genius who pans the camera around as soon as the wildebeest start drinking from a crocodile infested river?
The rivalry between hippos and crocodiles is deep
Nice to have Hippo friends.
if I was a wild animals I rather be locked up at the zoo.
Yeah, their lives are a living hell
Hippos are very territorial. As soon as they hit the water, the hippos said "oh nahh, get off my property "
I was waiting for the surprise at the end when a pack of lions snatches the wildebeest 🤣 Hippos: “Sorry W, that ain’t our territory no more” 🤣
Damn, would not have guessed the hippos to be so tolerant of a wildebeest in their space. Don't think the wildebeest will be around much longer tho, with a foot falling off him like that.
Apollo Fell hippos just dont wanna see crocs winning
Don’t mess with an angry angry hippo. They are truly incredible in saving numerous pray species from crocodiles in Africa. God bless them all always. I have been to Kruger National Park and I cherish my time there to date. Wish to come again soon #animalactivist #animallover
The crocodile to the hippo: SERIOUSLY CLYDE?! IM TRYING TO EAT
Crocodiles are worthy of great respect, but they cannot defeat an alert hippopotamus.
the wildebeast waited for his leg to heal and then built a raft to get back to his group
Wow that last hesitation and head turn by the Wildebeest was a "thank you' to the Hippos!
No
I love these crocodile and hippo videos.
The very rare moment a hippo doesn't say "screw you" to another animal.
Beautiful hippos mad respect!
Not hipponing

You can just wildebeest your a$$ right out of here.
@@abdullazizwadi8934 R/woooosh
Crocodiles in hippo water is like kids running on the lawn of a cranky old man
The hippos: I’m about to end this whole boy’s career
I wouldn't say "saved". They tried to kill the wilderbeast for territorial purposes, but messed up a bit.
Hippos be like "there I saved you,now get off my lawn"
Them: oo ahh woah wow 🐲🐐 The camera: 🎥
Don’t know kind of deal they had but the Hippos ran in like bosses making the crocs their bitch lol
:16 these crocs are fantastic to watch!!! The quickness in the catch, how big they are! The youngling attacking the leg very hard and fast, how they move. Oh what a sight! Nasty but magnificent. They hide in the water well And then come the hippos. Who somehow are much better
this is why i follows this channel
Super video video grips
Glad you like it! Thanks for watching.
3317alibaba hahahahha
The hippos are like “dude there’s children watching, chill”
ComputerGenerated nah there more like GET, THE FUCK OUT MY HOUSE YOU DOG EATER
Best hippo sightings in youtube
Unfortunately it most likely wouldn't last too long with that injury to its leg
Poor thing doesn't stand a chance with that hind foot. Drowning may have been the less horrible way to go compared to what the land predators will do when they spot it.
Mister Hyena I agree, the hippo did not save the beast intentionally if this scenario was to happen again the hippo might take out its fury on the beast not the croc. I think a rhino that hasn't had its horn removed could hold its own against a hippo though. It would be a tough call.
Wild dogs gonna eat him alive
maninredhelm xxx y xxx
maninredhelm dont worry the wildeebesst will go right back to the hippos if he facing some problem again to defend him
It's better off dying by lions than crocs, wild dogs or hyenas 100%
Hippos are basically Thanos without plan
Seems even wild animals have more heart than some humans
"his friends just left him there." Lol. I was thinking the same thing girl
The crocs dragged him into the water. Not much his friends can do even if they tried.

90% of comments: The wilderbeast is gonna get killed by another land predator because it's hoof is broken Me: I wonder if that's how humans invented shoes, maybe the wilderbeast will create fire next, and after humans leave this planet to create an interstellar socialization the wilderbeast will dominate this planet
STFU u 🌽🌽🌽🌽🙃
To imagine this was the start of The Great Wildebeest Revolution before full blown war broke out, the start of a golden age soon stained red with the blood of slaughtered crocs across the land, the start of the great African Massacre in which the prey became the predators and completely flipped the food chain. You see this? This is the beginning of a huge segment of history, one that fills all with a sense of regret and loss as they realise how simple it was, and how easily they could’ve stopped it. Most of all the hippos fill themselves with regret and dissatisfaction with their nature, the mistakes it led them to make and the horrors they were soon to face due to their misguided judgements. As my world crumbles around me, and my roof does it’s last moaning creak, I can’t help but look back at this time and wish, desperately wish for something to change, for history to realign itself with my past self’s skewed sense of reality. But alas, as the dust falls and the room begins to cave in, the beests standing by to watch the destruction with heartless eyes, I remember my reality and force the dissatisfaction down. To make room for acceptance

would of been better if he just died in the water unfortunately
Yup he's totally fucked!
He was exhausted after seeming too long. doesn't seem like he has a broken back or leg. He can easily survive after a decent rest.
Silva Zoldyck i watched this on animal planet and they clearly said he survived the water but on land its a different story and in the next footage lions were eating him 😑😑.. he broke his leg
- 'Hey, I have an idea, let's not film the attack.' - 'okay honey, I'll do my best.'
Plot twist : the moment he got out of the wotah , a male lion lunged at him killed it instantly
That would've been the best twist that wildebeest could have asked for.
