After making a mistake and swimming into a herd of more than 30 very irritable hippos, this crocodile with a ᴅᴇᴀᴛʜ wish was fortunate to survive. When the hippos realized the predator was among them, they launched an ᴀᴛᴛᴀᴄᴋ, pounding downward and lowering their enormous jaws into the murky water in an effort to capture the animal.

The crocodile was located three times, and each time it was forced to the surface, out of the water, and into the air, where the outnumbered animal could only defend itself by snapping its jaws.

Three times out of four, the crocodile escaped the “river horses’” maw and returned to the somewhat safe confines of the mucky shadows of the pool. The clearly alarmed herd of hippos continued to yell and grunt out their warnings that no crocodiles were welcome as the animal appeared to flee by hiding in some thick reeds.

When retired sonographer Harish Kumar, 71, visited the Kruger National Park in Sᴏᴜᴛʜ Aғʀɪᴄᴀ and was led to the Hippo Pool by his guide, he captured the amazing film. Mr. Kumar said that they were traveling in a party of approximately 18 people. It was a beautiful day, and they only had two days left of their vacation, and their guide took them on a trip to the Hippo Pool. And they witnessed the sᴄᴇɴᴇ.
