Wild hippo parents welcome a teeny calf into the world – just metres away from a swarm of crocodiles searching for their next meal. While other safari goers focused on the nearby wildebeest herd migrating across the Mara River, this tour group settled in to watch a new mum give birth – a rare opportunity for safari goers and guides alike. But within moments of its entrance into the world in September 2016, the excitable calf veered into the path of a crocodile.

You people in the background are Idiots…STFU WHEN FILMING
Once the bull hippos are near by, Crocs would never dare touch the kids.
How many dead animals was floating in the ?water??
I always thought Crocs where the fearless serial killers, oops not until I start watching docs about hippos. They surely are serial killer but they fear hippos.
Yea some "rescue" the croc didn't even come near it!
3:32 mom where’s my champagne damn wish I was that damn rich
Aw! Hippos are my fav animal
must be great having so many scaly uncles n aunties to guard your sacred spawning pool.
Haha I love how the croc wastes no time going after a newborn hippo a few seconds into its new life haha
Crocs are not stupid
At 2:11 “ yaay yahey” /: weirdo
There was a dead wildabeast close to the hippo.
Ha Ha !! The croc would never try to attack the baby when there are hippo adult around. Hippo owned croc.
I thought it said rescued by the crocodile lol
so confusing there is already dead carcasses in the river but instead they go for the live ones?
that baby hippo wasn't saved. the croc had no interest in it seeing that there were dead animals on the shore line it could have easily just eaten if it was hungry. crocs will eat something dead before trying to catch something alive.
Google PETA website and see christians murder and torture animals in the millions
Numbnut in the background: "Maybe it is just taking a huge poo" 😀
everyone seems so happy! doesnt anyone notice the several dead wilderbeasts floating in the water?
3:09
HOLD THE CAMERA STILL!!!!!!!
So do hippos usually give birth in the water? That seems pretty dangerous because the baby could possible drown or be eaten.
And they over here like oh no! BOI GO GET SOMEBODY TO HELP DUMBHEADS
Nice baby
Man: maybe he's taking a big poop?
Ram
That poor hippo will be traumatized for life, the first thing he saw was a carcass, a croc and a bunch of tourists
I want NO BGMs.
That crocodile seems to be having enough to eat from all the wilder-beast carcasses around it
The danger here (if there was any…) was actually minimal. You can tell that the crocs were already satiated on all the wildebeest carcasses lying around (with MANY more to spare!). Why would a croc risk life and limb to go after a baby hippo with its mother around? Even the largest crocs are no match for a healthy adult hippo (especially a new mother!) — all crocs are subordinate to hippos whenever they live in the same body of water…
