Watch what happens when this hippo gets playful with a crocodile
Waterholes! Never know what you're going to see. When we arrived at this waterhole in Hwange National Park it appeared empty. However, we'd learned that patience generally pays off. And it did!
This playful young hippo, after the plastic water pipe doesn't respond he finds a live playmate... a crocodile. However, this croc is not necessarily happy about this. Watch what happens and who comes to the rescue. No blood and gore... just some laughs at the interactions of these two which is rather strange!

Some viewers think this young hippo is not being playful. Here's what he/she was up to moments before 'playing' with the crocodile. After watching this clip tell us what you think now. kzhead.info/sun/qc-HmbCmaaOtrKs/bejne.html
Watched the video. Still don't believe he was being playful...
That was cool
Everything needs a drink of water... the young Hippo was playing dominance at the watering hole... then the Elephants came in and chased the Hippos away...
NikelaWildlife Holy shit 2:30 is exactly why that croc didn't attack. These shits are huge.. elephant even bigger sheesh
Not playfulness. He/She is identifying a food source. Hippos will eat nearly any other animal, they're ruthless.
Everybody's gangster till elephants come along
The ruler of Big! 😁
L😂L Meanwhile watching the video I saw your reply. . . I was like is he assuming that elephants might approach the hippos like in other videos,and therefore ruin the hippos fun of toying around with that croc? Next thing I know, right before the video ended... 👀Oh, here they come.😁🤣
😆
Lame
@@B77548 You sure are
Imagine being a descendent of those who competed with the mighty dinosaurs only to get harassed by a water cow. Edit: I’ve edited my comment to clarify that Crocodiles are not descendants of the dinosaurs themselves, but rather lived alongside them.
a water cow lmao
To be fair, the water cow is really op
Actually they're not descendents of the dinosaurs, they were around when the dinosaurs existed
@@victortaekwon they are modern day dinosaurs or at least the closest thing to them
@@joegarrison5911 They are not modern at all, they are even cosidered living fossils because they were around when dinosaurs existed and remained the same or almost the same during all these years. Just like the other guy said, birds are the actual descendents of the dinosaurs and therefore, the modern day dinosaurs.
When you realize that giant hippo playing with the croc is actually a small hippo....
And he can’t do shit cause there are 2 adult hippos waiting for him to make a aggressive move
@MrBipo so like Garp from One piece?
@@danielfrierson5404 yes
The croc is not that big either. They can get huge
The crocodile the whole time: WOULD YOU LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE PLEASE
Wonder how the hippo would react if the croc whipped around and sank a few of those dagger-like teeth into the hippo's lower lip. Or leg. Ouch!
Mike Cooper the croc would probably die lol the other hippos would rush in
Mike Cooper the hippo would break it in half but ok
Hippo: "hey everyone, this is my pet lizard, Stevie!! He's pretty cool, huh? Look at him go!!"
You know your hard core when you can toss around a croc like that and the croc don’t do shitt about it
Aw hhhhhahaaahha it make sense
🤣🤣🤣
elephant: god damnit richard i told you stop playing with stevie so much son!
Then he turns around, goes back into the water and says “hey look, and here is my pet anaconda, Sammy! He makes a hissing sound when he’s just playing! Isn’t he swell?!?”
Elephants are like the responsible adults in the animal kingdom. They are the ones akin to a babysitter and a bunch of five year olds.
Lol...so true lol!
I've seen so many videos of elephants breaking up fights 😂
Yes, and Hippos are the the oldest brother that bullies others
@@fern_doc Lion and Croc are like twins that always fight
What about garffis
Crocodile: bro gtfo I dont want to play Hippo: you forget that im one of few creatures you don't have a negotiation point with, cute tiny lizard of death
Crocs like enough already. there's people watching and you're destroying my street cred,
Hippo is the only one who can bully a crocodile 🐊 🤣🤣
Imagine being a croc trying to chill and a fucking hippo just decides that you're his new obsession.
Lol they're larger than life jerks. Sort of like bullies who pick on smaller kids
Imagine being so freaking strong you can casualy play round with what's basically a mini dinosaur and know you snap if it tried anything
Interesting perspective.
OMG this is extremely funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Croc had to act as hippo's pet 🤣🤣
What's funny is the croc was bullied by the hippo and then the hippo was bullied by the elephant. That croc was prolly like thank god lol its everyday with this guy
well there were babies in that elephant here, of course the female matriarch of the herd will chase the hippos and anything away
JajajajaJAh 👽😱 🤬🤣 😜🎃 👌🤪 🌈🌠⚠️ A+!!!
😆😆😆
Lol
Funny thing that elephant cub would be in danged with that croc still in water.
Everyone is gangster until there's an elephant in the room..
Elephant enters Room: Settles down
😂😂😂
Best comment ever.

When a bully gets bullied by a bigger bully then the bully ends up being bullied by the biggest bully... What a bully!!
It's a tounge twister.
Rick and Morty fan?
Now thats a bunch of bull
No Elephant is like a police of jungle
Seeing one where an elephant attacked a lion when it killed this warthog.
Hippo’s like, “common common try death rolling me” 😂
crocodiles: your not my type....now LEAVE ME ALONE!
I think the hippo's gums were itchy and the closest scratcher was the crocodile's tail.... 🤔
No..
Lmao she thought she was on to something
Yet the crocodile has all them teeth and no toothbush.
@@jhk3172 Hippo's love rubbing their gums on the bristly alligator backs, not even kidding.
@@StarsWithScars yes....
The hyppo be like "Yo fool! Don't you watch Animal Planet!? I'm the bully in these parts.... oh crap.. elephants"
Angel Crisp 😂😂😂😂😂
Anyone who’s ever killed elephants have no conscience. They’re beautiful animals.
Only humans would catch animals that rival their own intelligence, force them with violence and starvation to do tricks for "entertainment" then when the poor traumatized animal retaliates, the poor thing is gunned down in the streets, in front of everyone. It breaks my heart. Why can't we watch other humans who want to preform willingly? Why are we so fucking sick and twisted?
Ok
Wayfarin Stranger okay what?
Ya ya but they’re kinda assholes too. Animals are a lot like humans.
Max Power well of course were also animals but at the same time not like us at all. We have completely wiped out entire populations just for pure greed. Take the white rhinos for example, they are completely extinct because in Asian countries rhino dust is known to make you “last longer” in bed. We enslave orcas for entertainment. Shall I go on? I could write a fucking book about it.
I find that Hippo very irritating. I can just imagine how the croc feels.
i feel same way when dealing with 4 mexican that wont stop saying espanol? after i already said no
Crocs are killers in the animal world its ok
@@godisgreat5141 and hippos too
@@godisgreat5141 How does that justify a hippo being the biggest nuisance possible...?
jm A Crocs kill because they need to eat Hippos kill because they are extremely territorial.. who do you think is a bigger jerk?
Croc is like dude, your killing my rep.
Reptile
Reputation
Yeah as badass as Croc is they don't want to mess with Hippo. Well except for Gustave tho
Moral of the story theres always someone bigger and badder than you.
or a bigger bully.
So who would bully the hippo?
Unless you're an elephant
@@cheapishlyexpensive3476 A Elephant.
Truthwatch Daily an elephant a rhino or a walrus
One of the few animals not afraid of the mighty croc.
Guess so.
Hippo: Who's the king of the river? Croc:Just Leave!! Hippo:I Said!! Who's the king of the river? Croc:😶
I always thought the crocs were the ultimate savages, now I see who really commands Mr. Hippo😂😂😂
Elephants: "You cut that shit out and scram!"
The end of this video is fake, its taken from another video called, elephant defends its baby from.2 hippos
Nah its been well documented for years hippos just tolerate crocs, cus they know crocs will be submissive to the..
Very playful Hippo :) he just wanted to annoyed this crocodile!!!
Viktoriya Padurya ýy6u767ò890
Arun Claudius Charles I agree with you- some hippos can weigh up to eight thousand pounds and sometimes even more and their bite are incredibly powerful, as a matter of fact their bite happens to be one of animal kingdom's mightiest (Tremendous might in their bite!😉) 👌👍👍
Gantry Odie COOL! 👌
you do know hippos kill crocodiles in the wild right ,when i tell people this they say thats not true
dexter 69 Positively absolutely "true!" you are right Dexter 69, as a matter of fact hippos are crocs number one nemesis! when both species are in the same river together, they either coexist or the hippo becomes the crocs worst nightmare! 😉👍👍
Hippo: do you think I'm pretty? Croc: why did I come to this club?
About the only thing on the planet that can 'annoy' a crocodile and actually get away with it😅
Hippos are probably the only animal in planet who can treat a nile croc in this way :D
Probably
And what about the elephants that chased the hippos away
Rexy says hi :D
Well if the bully of the cror get bully him self i think the bully of the hyppo could bully the croc
The title can be "Kind elephant saving crocodile from getting harassed by an hippo" ...
Nice!
Lesson to story is there's always someone bigger and badder than you. But still I love seeing Hippos bully Crocodiles especially within the water where the Crocodiles terrified every other specie in the wild drinking some water or crossing the water.
Crocodiles just don’t have a sense of humour.
Guess not 🙄
Hippo: Hey I just want to play. Croc: Knock it off. I got a rep and you are making me look bad.
“Hey Croc, how’s it feel to be stalked for a change? Not too hot, heh?!”
Crocs kill for food hippos kill cause they're territorial
4:53......... Hippo laughs at Crocodile 🤦🏾♂️😂😂😂
He knows what he doing
Leviathan and Behemoth.
"You ain't feelin too hot? Cause you cold blooded son!!"
It kinda looks like he’s mimicking the crocodile 😂
"I swear to god, if you don't stop doing that, I will _tear you to SHREDS_ ." "Ha Ha! Ur so cute when ur angry!!"
Hippo: “I’m bored, play with me.." Croc NOOOOO!!
you know you're tough when you can toy around with a Croc and he cant get away fast enough
Giggidygiggidy12 wouldn’t that just mean he’s not fast enough?
T. Stamp I think a better way to say it would be, "You know your tough when you can toy with a crocodile and he can't do anything to stop you."
More like you know you are real tough when you can shoo hippos away like the elephants did in the video.
And you know you're weak when you have to run from an elephant.
@Dark Mysteries Oh did you get triggered by an elephant? Lol. So you are weak.
All other animals in Africa: I hope we all survive today. Hippos: I’m so bored, let’s go pick on some big crocodiles, or basically any other predator we see.
Croc: I haven’t lived 50+ year for this
LOL. Hippos are so scared of elephants!!!
Hippo: “HEY buddy let’s play!” Croc: silent silent silent....... CHOMP
Hippo self-identifies as a crocodile.
+eiffe now that's an interesting take.
how many videos of bien saphiro have you watched? Hahaha
And it looks like elephants don't self-identify as hippos.
Croc : You go tell that to my big friend over there, you big fat bully!
That's harassment in the workplace. Totally inappropriate
😂
Croc was like look buddy, I'm not into Hippo's like that okay.. find someone your own kind!. lol
🤣🤣🤣
Amazing footage of wildlife, which most of us would never be privileged to see, were it not for you sharing this intriguing and unusual encounter. Animals do so many things which we don't expect or understand completely.
Thanks for your kind words
The croc was actually wise not to latch on to the hippo, knowing it would have been crushed.
@@lachyt5247 good. I live when bullies get bullied
@@cnope2444 Crocodiles aren't bullies they are just hungry. What are you? Five?

Croc thought he was was okay. Wait until the elephants start to "play" with him.
Yup!
Croc: ahhh ahit here we go again 😂😂
The fact that they know they are so powerful, they mess with dinosaurs just to prove they can't do shit them lol
Ah, but if T-Rex'es were alive...
5:16 *LOL the hippo is making fun of the croc!*
Never thought it possible for a croc to look so irritated out of its mind! 🤣🤣🤣
Masayuki Nakamura, 😂😂😂
Or use the tail as floss.
...a couple moments later... 5:15 Croc: I KEEP TELLIN YA! ! I'M NOT YO ****** CHEW TOY! ! ! Hippo: Play with me!.. PLAAY with ME! ! 7:15 Elephant A: Why don't you plaay with someone your *own* size? Elephant B: *OWN* siize! Hippos: ahh HELL no! *"Hippos have left the chat"*
I love this comment. Got a good laugh out of chew toy thanks
But not before telling the elephant, 'go play with yourself'! Everybody RUN!
Hippo : C'mon! Be a pal Only a five second lil ol' ride! I promise! Croc : I said no! You might take liberties! Besides, we're incompatible!
Geez, he was just picking on that poor crocodile! What a bully! 😁
When someone 100 times your weight and strength wants to play-fight with you...
Actually the crocodile has the strongest bite in the world
@@upstate5101 So? What was that croc gonna do..Nothing that would toss it like a rag doll..I love these dumb ass comments like yours..No i actually don't.
@@upstate5101 a hippos jaw is strong enough to bite even the largest croc'/ gator in half.

What?
Imagine having the presence to be able to joyfully swim behind a crocodile.
Never thought of it that way before 🤔
hippo: come on play with me! croc: arghhhh quit it!!
+Rv Arrow 😉about right
Hilarious how the hippos high tailed it out of there when the elephants showed up.
+bax323 was fun wasn't it.
There's a clip here someplace of an elephant that got angry at a buffalo, and gored it, threw it at least 5-6 feet up in the air . That's close to a ton of weight pitching it around like a loaf of bread. Apparently , the buffalo got too close to mama and baby elephant. If I remember , the buffalo died, then the small elephant group of three, had hyena problems as they wanted the dead buffalo.
I feel like at 5:24 the hippo is making fun of the crocodile “hey guys look at me! I’m a big scawy water lizard” 😂
I've not really felt sorry for crocodiles before, but I was getting there with this vid.
Yup!
Croc: Leave me alone!! Hippo: Nope!
Ohh this is classic "play" behavior by these beasts of no burden.. This is so text book, straight up play.
+larryjohnny thanks.
There's always somebody bigger and stronger than you haha.
And if you are a elephant ?
Crocodile be like : hey leave me alone
There's always someone bigger and bolder than you are, something a lot of humans forget.
Thanks
Yes
That is some grade A harassment right there.
tonedog77 O come on! He just wants to tap that ass!
A Voice In The Wilderness Angela van Es it's a joke bumb ass. Try to keep up with the conversation or go play with the rest of the children.
You know what they say, once you go Hippo you never go Croc.
Some A grade hippo shit floating around lol
Wade Sharp macro aggression.
There is always someone bigger and stronger than you. Life lessons.
That’s probably true.
And what about the one that is stronger than everyone?
Soo col. Mother hipo was always watching around this child. That's reason why child hipo was so confident
the elephant at the end lol shows its dominance.
I love it when hippos wiggle their ears❤️
Fun fact, That is just baby hypo 🤣
Yup! Just a youngster.
Crocodile all gangsta,till the hippo shows up, Hippo all gangsta till the real King of Beasts walks in!
Hippos kick Lions away from the water all the time too lol.

Strange as it may be it cannot possibly be wide of the mark that they have some sort of 'arrangement' if you like, otherwise that croc would have been toast long before the elephants arrived.
Interesting thought!
Crocs all like bro just leave me alone.. you da king, you run shit. I just wanna swim. Hippo like who tf is you? Say somethin else. Dis ma river boi don't ever in yo life swim over here
LOL.
Croc: Im a a goddam salt water crocodile, one of the most fierce and feared predators, show me some respect! Hippo: nahhh
hippo: I wanted to play with someone! croc: go play with others! hippo: tihihihi! lets play! croc: no! get out!
The other hippo's like "I told you not to take cocaine
5:15 lol it's like the hippo is mocking the croc
This kind of true interaction always reminds me of the part in Disney's Fantasia where the animated hippos (in tutu) and crocodiles have a love story ballet !!!
Whoa!
Literally the ONLY time you can say "poor croc" rofl.
