Female hippopotamus attacks male to protect baby

In the Kruger Nature Reserve in South Africa, a female hippopotamus attacked a male while protecting her baby. The confrontation between the animals attracted the attention of tourists.

According to a local guide who captured the confrontation on video, the female hippopotamus was the first to attack the formidable opponent, thereby saving her baby.

Male hippos living in the South African wildlife park can attack their offspring, thereby protecting themselves from growing competitors.
