When it comes to nature, and the animals living within it, there is always something new to discover. In one such instance, a pod of hippos have recently been seen coming to the rescue of a wildebeest from the clutches of a crocodile. The incident took place at the Masai Mara National Reserve in Kenya, where a group of hippos were seen rushing to the aid of one of their smaller counterparts. A large crocodile had managed to snag a wildebeest in its jaws, and was attempting to drag it away, when the hippos arrived on the scene.
The hippos quickly surrounded the wildebeest, and began pushing the crocodile away with their heads. The crocodile was eventually forced to release its grip on the wildebeest, and make a hasty retreat. The incredible moment was captured on camera by a group of photographers, who watched in awe as the hippos come to the rescue of the wildebeest. The pictures have since gone viral, with many people praising the actions of the hippos.
The incident is just one example of the incredible ways in which animals help and protect one another. The bond between the wildebeest and the hippos is a testament to the strength and power of the animal kingdom. While the wildebeest was eventually saved, sadly such stories don’t always have a happy ending. But the fact that this one did is a reminder that we should all do our best to protect and respect the animals living in our world.
