VERY lucky hyena escapes jaws of angry hippo

Maybe the hippo will kick his ass yeah just wait oh oh my God on that’s too oh my God

A lucky hyena narrowly escaped being eaten by an angry hippo – that it mistook for being dead.

Safari guide Carlos Ismail was leading a tour in Ngorongoro Crater, Tanzania, when he spotted an opportunistic scavenger wading through some water.

Tense footage shows the hyena creeping up on the behind of a seemingly immobile hippo half submerged under the algae.

Suddenly the hyena turned tail and just in time as the hippo swung its huge body around and chased it from the water almost catching it in its powerful jaws.

Carlos said: “This hyena was very lucky. It was on its own and I think it thought that the hippo was dead and would be an easy meal.

  1. Normalmente, los hipopótamos son dóciles, pero pueden volverse agresivos cuando se sienten amenazados. Cada año matan a unas 500 personas en África, mordiéndolas con unos dientes que pueden llegar a medir más de 30 centímetros de largo.
