Hippos Are Known For Being Vicious In The Wild. That’s Why This Left Me Absolutely Speechless.

, , , , ,

Hippopotamuses are one of the largest land animals and are known for being quite aggressive in the wild. If you were to see one in a river while on safari, it’s best if you keep your distance. The big brutes can (and will) charge. They’re wildly considered as one of the most dangerous animals in Africa. So, you may be surprised to hear what this group of hippos did.

A small gnu was swimming through the water, bait for the nearby crocodiles.

He was injured and in need of help, so a kindhearted hippo swam to his aid.

The hippos chased off the crocodiles.

Then, the hippo nudged the injured gnu towards the shore, helping him to safety.

Watch the amazing rescue in Kenya yourself, it’s hard to believe it actually happened: If you see a hippo in person, leave them alone. But know, they aren’t the cold-blooded killers some people think they are. Share this amazing moment with others. Source: Yahoo
