Seeing some of these comments, I've got this to say for future viewers. Do NOT mistake a mother's instinct for a mother's love. A hippo is one of the most ferocious beasts on the planet. They are solid, dense muscle, and they are notoriously territorial and aggressive animals. Point being, there should be no illusion of 'love' existent in these animals, as love is known to a human. They will not hesitate to kill you, and they should be regarded with this truth in consideration. This is not to say they should not be respected - quite the opposite. In respecting the world that we live in, it is necessary that we understand that certain aspects of nature's creation are not meant to be interacted with; they are spectacles to be viewed from afar, fragments of life's history for us to ponder and be amazed by.
@@xyzxyz997 how the hell would you NOT know that a HUGE, 2 ton, wild animal with canines that more closely resemble swords, is extremely dangerous and like all animals, is NOT human and does not share our perspectives; that said, the OP's comment may be the most beautifully written comment on youtube. ever.
Wow amazing hippo.. Wonderful sighting!!! Wonderful hippos!! Fantastic creature!!Thanks for sharing this wonderful video about amazing creature...THE BEAUTIFUL HIPPO!!!
'It's clearly dead so why protect it? Because it's her calf and she probably gave birth shortly before you arrived. I did expect her to have killed a Hyena since Hippos have a fierce reputation.
If anything the crocs actually respect and try to get away from hippos, after wards, of course they will see what’s left; it’s like a bear and a pack of wolves, they wait to see what is left.
Hippos can run underwater at 5mph. Despite their "fat" appearance they must be incredibly dense in bone structure and musculature. They are alpha predators. In response to this comment above....hippos can't actually swim...let alone rune on water.
This proves hyenas aren't cowards because if they were, they wouldn't even be going in hippo territory in the first place. Hyena just swam towards a living hippo to eat the dead one (even though the hippo is telling him or her to go away). 11:36 A hyena THAT close to a hippo can't be a coward. I know there are more hyenas, but that hyena is closest by him or herself!
@@MaevaStardust Yeah, because being smart enough to not try to take on a male lion, risking their lives to seem "badass" for some stupid human's pride makes them cowardly, okay. Focusing on more important things like staying alive, rather than stupidly taking on a bigger predator to be "big and bad" sure makes them stupid, doesn't it? The fact that there are more of them in the wild than lions, thriving and surviving doesn't matter because they avoid fighting a male lion. That's clearly more important than surviving because as dumb humans, pride and power matters more than living. Whomever said humans were intelligent was clearly delusional.
See how smart the hyenas are they are spread out some is looking out and watching while the others are hunting for the food everyone is playing a roll for there survival.
Now this is real scavenging work , getting into the water with a hippo and getting this close , just to get to a corpse , respect to the hyenas, must be really hungry as well !
No idea how the calf died unfortunately. It was already dead when we got there. I've seen pictures where elephants have stuck their trunks into vehicles to try and steal food. I think that's pretty rare and I've never experienced it myself.
Hyenas: is this McDonalds cause the quality of the smell here smells like McDonalds. Hippo: no this is a funeral now get lost Hyena: but food from McDonalds is roadkill...
J real ikr. Those are some relentless creatures. They play dumb, moping around and walking right up to their prey. They’re just crazy 😜, in a deadly kind of way😂
Hyenas were helping the mama hippo guard her lifeless baby from other scavengers lol. On a serious note those hyenas got way too close for comfort. Hyena at 11:30 played the lure for the hippo to move away from their target so his clan can get to it. These predators are smarter than you think lol.
Also heyenas are scavengers most of the time so they are more likely to go after whats all ready been killed for them or easy pray because their role is to take out the dead, weak, and the old
Did the guy actually say the calf is clearly dead so why is she protecting it? I can't even comment on that. Guy most have no love in his heart or emotion. Would you just discard your desd child?
They should make a TV show called "People on Safari say the Stupidest Things". Some dumb broad asked if those "things" in the water were coyotes at 2:19.
It's understandable she would defend her calf for while, she's obviously still mourning her babies death. That emotional pain will ease over time especially when she has a new calf. It does make me laugh though the hyenas KNOW how DANGEROUS hippos and crocs are in water, it's why you hardly see hyenas in to deep lol, bt when they are in the water their cute little ears prick up for every little noise they on high alert 😂😂😂 ADORABLE
that bastard looked good laying there with all fours up.mother is studied as hell.like get up we got company.know they have clowns over there,I here them in the back ground.lol
Thhe Hyenas must of been really starving, they rarely get into the water its not their elements. They know well the dangers of crocodiles, i can only assume hunger forced them to this extreme situation to take that type of risk.
It's raw video that I recorded on holiday. My videos normally get ~200 views each so I put no effort into editing them. Quite how this video has received over 5 million views is a mystery to me.
For those who HATE hyenas like I do, we must remember the crucial role they play in the African wildlife ecosystem; which includes the area of being beastly biological garbage disposal/walking-lurking waste management systems. Nature needs to get rid of a maggot infested carcass that even the vultures won't eat, call on the hyenas.
They go for the bones mostly. They are after bone marrow which gives them the nutrients they need. They are the only ones with the capability to crush bone.
Why people loves action? ?? Thy are always want to see the blood. .. the hyenas just come to see the baby hippo. .and went back home. .that's nice. .😀😀😀

@Asherah 1147 good one
@Asherah 1147 how the hell would everyone know that about hippos? The guys comment was informative and interesting.

and how would you know whether a hippo can or cannot feel love?
Thats crocodile water. Where is the crocodiles?? The hippos and Crocs Usually be in the same water.
I knew she was protecting the carcass of her dead baby, she didnt want the hyenas to eat it, amazing sensitivity from hippo.
is he dead؟؟
When the Hippo opened his mouth, the Hyena said: okay I have seen enough.🤣
Good to see them
@Going Frugal Now his joking you d*mbass.
8:53
The guy says, it's clearly dead so why protect it? Because the hippo is a MOTHER!

Was I the only one waiting for a croc to make a surprise appearance 🤔😂😂😂
Anthony Juarez Crocs wouldn’t mess with hippos
@@fern_doc yeah but there were some hyena steaks 🥩 for the taking in that there water!

Crocks are always afraid of hippos
I can't understand why hyaenas apparently attack hippos. With their enormous mouths they could be bitten in half with ease!
"Are those coyotes in the water?"
"No, those are hyenas!!!!"
How can you not know that when your on safari to Africa?
Usually music ruins videos, but in this case it would eliminate the constant wind blowing into the microphone and people talking
Oh shut up
I am surprised the mother wasnt more aggressive
Funny, the wind makes it look like either a jacuzzi or mama hippo has a major gas case 😂
Bold hyenas! Do they not know that a hippo can damn near run on water!! 😂

@@Woman_in_the_Wilderness Brave. Do you know how robust hyenas are? Even they know that.
@@MaevaStardust I have actually, they’re very strong and can fight off a full size male lion 1v1 😊 - th-cam.com/video/bQ5zBzwDW4s/w-d-xo.html
Poor mama. She knows if she leaves the body for one second, the Hyenas will get it.
See how smart the hyenas are they are spread out some is looking out and watching while the others are hunting for the food everyone is playing a roll for there survival.
The hyenas are smart. They're trying to sway the mother hippo away from the calf. Interesting.
lawC0vRu pl7mnz&* crazy, crafty, deadly madhafakas🤣
Hay! Fantastic UFO Activity at the end of the video,WoW....
Are those hyenas out of their gord? Wow. Never thought id see something so crazy
Now this is real scavenging work , getting into the water with a hippo and getting this close , just to get to a corpse , respect to the hyenas, must be really hungry as well !
Orange itan
The guy who said “why protect her dead calf”...are you insane ...the animal alsi have a mother instinct !!human can’t be selfish all the time

Parabéns a todos envolvidos saúde e muito mais suseso agradecimento a equipe da filmagem
Do these animals ever try to jump in your tour trucks???and how did the calf die?
No idea how the calf died unfortunately. It was already dead when we got there.
I've seen pictures where elephants have stuck their trunks into vehicles to try and steal food. I think that's pretty rare and I've never experienced it myself.
Saw you on Reddit - subbed ya - Good luck on TH-cam!
KENYAN LEADERS ARE LIKE THESE HYENAS......JUST THINKING ABOUT THEMSELVES
@@patmwa7214 no one cares, and the latter is certainly not true, given that they are the most successful predator in that ecosystem.
A grieving Mom.
What they runnin from towards end??
Q interesante gracias por tu vídeo 👌
The hippo is really polite with the hyenas
Nuru Tejan she's in mourning her baby is dead. You fool!!!!
Hyenas: is this McDonalds cause the quality of the smell here smells like McDonalds.
Hippo: no this is a funeral now get lost
Hyena: but food from McDonalds is roadkill...

WHAT are u doing with the camera!?! Please pass it to your friend with the steady hand....please
Nik S ...lol, I don't understand people either🤔😬😬
The animal world is full of fascinating creatures, each with its own unique characteristics and behaviors.
Hey I was in Tanzania in 2012 and went there! This place was beautiful!
I did not know hyenas could swim.
8:50 he run after hippo show his power 🤣
8:25 why do they turn their backs to the enemy like that? I notice there are other hyenas on the lookout in the distance...
Dustin Caravaglia they're trying to be slick & nonchalant hoping to sneak past the hippo.
J real ikr. Those are some relentless creatures. They play dumb, moping around and walking right up to their prey. They’re just crazy 😜, in a deadly kind of way😂
To the guy on the video that is saying why protect it, it is clearly dead. It's her baby you fool, animals love too! der!
lol
The poor mom 😥 just let her grieve
lol animals can’t live forever u know that hippo will one day die of old age….
That hyena is pretty damn brazen going into the water like that. That is obviously not there element and the hippo could have EASILY killed it.

Why they were swimming there close to the hippo?
Hyenas were helping the mama hippo guard her lifeless baby from other scavengers lol.
On a serious note those hyenas got way too close for comfort. Hyena at 11:30 played the lure for the hippo to move away from their target so his clan can get to it. These predators are smarter than you think lol.
Why they run out ?
Maybe Lions came
There's like 50,000 gazelle behind them. I'm sure they can catch 1.
Ikr....they have tunnel vision
Heyenas are stupid. That's why it takes 20 of them to do anything at a time.
Also heyenas are scavengers most of the time so they are more likely to go after whats all ready been killed for them or easy pray because their role is to take out the dead, weak, and the old
@@smoxthybweh according to scientific research, hyenas are more successful at hunting than lions 🤷🏻♂️
gazellez are super fast

Yeah, God's amazing creation.

Poor momma hippo lost her baby!!
Aw momma was trying to hide the baby , so sad
I wonder what ailed the calf?
where are the crocodiles???/ hyenas can not be in the water like that if the crocodiles were there
lol that first jump by hyena shows not very athletic
Ienas inteligentíssimas no seu quotidiano. Seres fantásticos esses ienas.
How hungry do you have to be?
I wish you would have swung the camera to the right in order to see what frightened the hyenas away; didn't you see them looking that way?
I hate the background comments. They always state the obvious.
They should make a TV show called "People on Safari say the Stupidest Things". Some dumb broad asked if those "things" in the water were coyotes at 2:19.
Hippos love to tease the other animals. :-)
The Hyena leaping haha
Those Hyenas were brave but foolish and reckless going into The Hippo's domain they are lucky The Hippo was not having such a bad day
Hippo was still in mourning mood
the quality .....its just AMAZING very amazing

It's a game of patience... obviously hyenas are not in the position to confront the hippo. Eventually one gives up.
Looks like he is saving it for his croc buddies
Are female hippos less aggressive than males?
Wow what an amazing video. I am amazed that this is almost 18 minutes of nothing. I will just follow the Hyenas and walk away.
Usually hippos and crocs share the same pool. Surprised that there were no crocs trying to eat the hyenas.
La mas mortal de las mordidas de los depredadores
Las tienen las Hienas son un espectaculo.Muchas Gracias

I do enjoy the scenery. They weren't kidding when they said Africa was teeming with wildlife!
por fin alguien que habla español en los videos (?
that bastard looked good laying there with all fours up.mother is studied as hell.like get up we got company.know they have clowns over there,I here them in the back ground.lol
Hippos are not very smart, they have an amazing ability to walk underwater and could've easily killed a couple of Hyenas.
They're trying to fake out the mother. Two to distract, with two on the side ready to drag the baby out the water.
These hyenas're very, very hungry. They would've walked in at any fast food restaurant to eat, but not at Gordon Ramsay's.
Merci beaucoup. Il faut
Nice video
This is a whole new world of entertainment
Fast 💨 forward to 11:50 & then forward to 13:00 to see nothing but hyenas swim away
Hi.
But I just love watching those relentless phucs from a distance🤣
I never knew that the hyna can risk that much when a hunger strikes tho.
I was hoping to see the hippo kill at least one of the hyenas.
Me too.
😑😂😂😂😂
Yeh. Me 2.
If the calf was alive believe me all of them were dead 💀
Jxdoi@@wirachatboonprom
Peep how all the Hyenas are spread out and looking in different direction for prey danger ect! They are very smart!
We want the clean the pool. You big guy don't restrain us.
Animals are legends
Where are the crocodiles when you need them most?
Hiding from the Hippo
maybe this is a document i am missing
Perca de tempo vendo esse video. Não vi nenhuma ação do hipopótamo. Muito pacato ele.
Where is the action?
Hyenas waited and waited like me who waited and waited for my increment and left for another Company

As much as I hate hyenas they are very smart animals.
Thhe Hyenas must of been really starving, they rarely get into the water its not their elements. They know well the dangers of crocodiles, i can only assume hunger forced them to this extreme situation to take that type of risk.
12:46 "It's cleary dead, si why protect they" I seen a hipo eating meat because they can

Hyenas are trying so hard to rescue the Hippo..
Essas hienas são corajosas em encarar um tanque de guerra e brincadeira em dentro do território dele na água ainda

Well the hippo isn't the only threat. Don't forget there are crocs in African rivers too. Those hyenas got lucky.
