You know you're a fiercesome beast when you use a croc to scratch your butt 😂
It's stunning 😂
😂😂😂
😄😄😄
Brilliant. Just Brilliant 👏 👌 😀
I`m dying🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
The little hippo sat on that crocodile like he didn't care 😂
Mum was around, no need to fear any foe.
@@gillesashley9314 yep
The croc be like "WTF dude?"
He did it because he is young and dumb. Those full grown Crocs can take out a baby Hippo.
The 'perhaps too much confidence' had me 😂
I love how the crocs know better to not mess with the baby hippos with all those adult around 😂😂
otherwise they finna get their ass wipe down real bad 😂
*Better than to mess
The crocs are like: I ain’t dealing with this today
they just pulled up to chill
The reason is because hippos stink really bad and crocodiles can’t stand the smell so they tend to just run away and get as far away as possible.
@@zigzagnemesist5074Hippopotamus are way more aggressive than crocs when in attack mode, that being said a croc knows what a hippo can do to it, Plus they’re twice the weight of crocs.
@@ElevateAboveElevation nah, it’s because of the smell
@@zigzagnemesist5074 nah
Hippos: “why are these dwarf dinosaurs in our spot”
Crocs: “why are these overweight pigs trying to steal our spot”
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
You roasted those two animals in a single line 💀
more like huge pigs
pig in general are overweight
Crocs aren’t dinosaurs
I like how any other animal would be attacked and eaten, but the hippo just walks up to Crocs and says... "you're in my seat" and the Crocs move on... amazing...
🤣🤣🤣🤣
And they are vegan
Then an elephant comes along ...
@@papatango5085 Hippos are not vegan, they eat some meat.
I think God knew that they would have to share the water and instilled in them to get along.
I like how chill this interaction was, never seen such a sibling-like interaction with croodiles or hippos
Yea a sibling relation ship built on fear since the crocs know not to mess with hippos since they would get absolutely bodied.
you're severely uneducated and misled. This is a classic situation of "F around and Find out" where crocs chose not to get torn to pieces
More like a "nobody wants this smoke" interaction.
@@keelahrose From a realistic perspective, I agree.
it's not that. The mothers are getting them comfortable around them because they know when they are older a croc will never out APEX them. mothers are teaching them to shit on them.
When the baby hippo backed up to the last croc...it was like "bro seriously?? have some respect" but after momma hippo entered the scene it was like "ya all have a nice day"😁
The camera angle showing the hippopotamus' snout was cool. Hippos are the only animal that can nip a crocodile and live to tell the tale. 😄
Nah, plenty of animals can defeat a large croc.
Jaguar: allow me to introduce myself
@@tbmofoulprinceromerojag could never beat an adult croc, it’s just not happening.
Yes because the cross respect a good jaw grip
@@tbmofoulprinceromeroJaguar introduce himself to caymans, and those are like lizards compared to crocs.
Crocodiles were like “ Oh crap here she comes again” 😂
I get that feeling too 😁
watch out the Karen Guys, she is back :/
Everyone's a gangster till a hippo sits on ur head
an animal that is able to hang around Crocodiles and not being scared... that's something.
Hippos are bigger and stronger than crocodiles
@@bobfaam5215okay
@@bobfaam5215fr? Didn’t kno that…
@@SopranoshowEMG Yes . Hippo biting force is th strongest among all animals and can cut a full grown crocodile into two pieces .
@@bobfaam5215 i think thats an exxageration
Mother Hippo: "Are these seats taken?"
Crocs: " No please, you can have them!"
Those crocs look like they're SO done with those hippos😄
Goes to show how useful a hippos shape is. That sheer mass is a surprisingly good defence on its own. Even more so when attached to an animal with a 2000psi bite force.
Mass is good in any fighting, try fight against a sumo wrestler. ;-)
Что бы было если бы. ..
Бегемот тебя укусил ?
Mainly the volume. Crocodile cannot grab this balloon.
Large hippos have bitten cross in half.....hippos are the most dangerous animal in Africa...more tourist and Indigenous people death and injury than any other animal
@@Rorimac67Bruce Lee would’ve destroyed a sumo. Size doesn’t necessarily matter. Ali defeated many opponents larger and bulkier than him
Crocodiles: We're too scary for anyone to challenge us on our river bank.
Hippos: Allow us to introduce ourselves.
Elephants literally killa them effortlessly
@@IWillSpeakPortgueseI mean elephants are probably the only ones above hippos on land
@@heroe1486Elephants as well as rhinos if they're willing to fight. But that comment was talking about elephants not fearing of crocodiles. For that matter, lions are known to also be able to drive away crocs.
@@IWillSpeakPortgueseMale lions are able to make crocodiles to back off even from carcasses on river banks.
@@heroe1486rhinos are on par with hippo
Hippos are just like, "Oh you gonna' learn today."
I love baby hippo Mafuta hes so cute he knows mama was there so he wanted to show off lol
That hippo in the water laughing at the end just tied everything together lol
Crocodile said when he dived at the end. "I''be back".
Thanks
Croc : What are you going to do big guy sit on me ??
Mofuta : Don't temp me...
It's mad how even the baby's too big for the crocodile 😂😂
You can hear the hippos laughing in victory😂😂😂
😂😂yes
1:53
Both don't like each other. But both try to live along. That's cool haha
Because they don't compete for foods, if the hippo is also a carnivore, the crocs are done
Like seriously,,,, lil hipo almost sat on the croc head 😀😅
Croc: I like this seat
Hippo: I like it better
The only baby that can do whatever he want in the jungle😂 what a boss
The crocs know a little nip could turn into a devastating crunch so they kindly moved on
Aww look at that baby hippo😢❤
Sounds like the hippos are laughing in the end 😂😂
Hey she seemed pretty polite about the whole situation though!! She was like alright guys your times up it’s our turn now..😂🤣
Croc: I'm going to bite you!
Hippo: Come back with bigger jaws!
Hippos: "Oh, there goes the neighborhood. Crocs where we sunbathe."
Not many animals would approach a whole herd of cross like it was nothing. 😢😂 Hippos are fierce!
When arrives Elephants....all run😂
One does what one must, to not anger the king.
Crocodiles< Alright we're going you don't have to bite our tails. We didn't eat 1 of your babies lol 😆
Hippo: Okay guys you been here long enough. We need some time on land too.
Hippos: Rent due.
Crocs: ah shiiiii here we go again
I love this baby hippos
People talk about a crocodiles bite force! A hippo bite is no joke either!
I'm sure my mother in law is in there somewhere. 🤣
🤣
Croc: *eyes open*
Hippo: "Yeah, it's me. Move your ass."
Baby Hippo :- Hello Croc uncle please Scratch my Butt 😂
Why did 1:12 sounds like the spider from Minecraft
So cute your comment x3 hehe
That whole "Mahfuta"/cute commentary is oh so 'adorable.'
crocodile: ah, shit, not again
1:25 “Kid, there are a precious few things in this world I will die for… but you’re getting mighty close to finding one.”
I like how the bird sits on the Hippo like just doesn't care 😂
That "laugh"at the end is so funny! :D
Beautiful recorded by camera man. It's really amazing place where crocodiles are taking sunbath and hippos are clearing their places for taking own bath. What a friendly relationship between hippos and crocodiles.
yes im sure the crocs see it as a friendly relationship....
Its more "if i do anything, the mother hippo will kill me in a second" rather than them hugging and singing around rainbows and hearts
Hippos: Literally bullying the crocodiles out of the sunbathing spot even though the crocs got there first.
Random TH-camr: WhAt a FrIeNdLy ReLaTiOnShIp!
I think it had more to do with the crocodiles wanting to live.
@@woof7538 The reason is because hippos stink really bad and crocodiles can’t stand the smell so they tend to just run away and get as far away as possible.
It's like my father and uncle living in the same house
and both love each other physically
That is one tough mama hippo. Kudos to her. Those crocodiles can be such ill-tempered bullies and she made them all get lost. You rock, mama hippo. ❤❤
ill tempered bullies? They vacated the premises without incident for their hippo friends. You give the crocs a bad name Karen
@@jeffbettencourt6263 I'm entitled to my opinion, just like you, buster. Since you're so enamored with crocodiles, may be you should pet one and see if they feel the same about you. If my opinion bothers you that much, then don't read the comments and stay off TH-cam.
If you think crocs are the ill-tempered bullies in video, you haven't seen enough hippo videos
@@doodlergames5118 I know hippos can be dangerous, thank you. I've seen enough nature shows to know that. Geez, a person can't even give an opinion .
Hippos are the I’ll-tempered bullies buddy, responsible for more human deaths than any animal in Africa and only herbivore I’ve even seen bite a Lion on the head like a T rex or something, they’re extremely violent and dangerous
- "Mom, those cros look really scary!"
- " Just sit on them and they will leave you alone" 😆
Also baby hippos are so incredibly cute. The most precious thing!
Little hippo don't want croco to leave, he just wants to sit next to him.
Hahahaha the baby sat on top of one
This reminds me of when i was young. I would act stupid around my friends and siblings cause i knew my mom was around and would defend me😂
Hippos like we booked these sun beds
“Get off my lawn!”
Is it just me or does it sound like the hippos are laughing 🤣
Hippo mom: excuse me
Crocs: tf do you want
Hippo mom: *excuse me?*
Crocs: oh ffff let's get out of here!
A Crocodile will attack an Elephant but not a Hippo. Thats a real Gangsta of an animal when you have the crocs respect.
Hippos are the cutest KILLERS in Africa 🤣
Hippo : hey croc, I want to kiss you.
Croc: my ancestors were dinos.
This is the cutest thing I've ever seen in a very strange sort of way. A million years of evolution meets the will of a mama hippo. ❤️ Guess who won. A predatory machine gets turned off
What see you talking about. They co exist it isn’t a fight
Not so much. God made these creatures. Did you come from a monkey?
@@redghost3170 There's no such thing. These animals evolved over hundreds of millions of years.
@@redghost3170 No, monkeys are our distant, distant cousins. if you want a closer match, look at chimps. Imagine a hairy human-looking chimp, that's what we come from.
Crocs did NOT want that smoke
Is so cool how hippo nibble to keep respectful even tho she can just chomp
Crocs: you aint gon' be just punking us everyday...
Naxt day
Hipp: get yo ass the hell outta here again " 😂
The Hippopotamus is in control. Love it.
Such a jaunty tune. I should go there, push my friends aside playfully. "Move along, Mr. Hippo, Mrs. Crocodile. Hee hee!"
Hippos are a prime example of “who’s going to stop me”
"Psst, you keep hoggin the bank like this, you MIGHT survive, but you certainly won't feel good, and you'll certainly wish you'd just found another spot."
He sat on the croc got me dying lmfao
Some of those crocodiles are MASSIVE. But Hippos own Africa's water holes, they're walking tanks, literally so dense with fat and muscle that they don't swim, they walk underwater. And like Crocs, their bites are also bone crunching.
They barely have any fat. It's all muscle
@@floseatyard8063 and thick skin
I saved this in my “funny” playlist 😂
Bro that’s my spot
ok, i'll make room for u any day
I searched "hippos being aggressive" and this was the first video. Did not disappoint
The crocs were like : here she goes again
The Hippo laughed when one 😂😂😂 scratched it's butt on the crock 😂😂
I didn't know that crocodiles can being nice and humble ... 😂 😂 And can see a baby and doing nothing...only adults hippo can make crocodiles nice and humble like this 😂😂😂😂😂
Hippos and Jaguars
Imagine walking up to a bunch of crocodiles and saying “beat it!”, and they all leave.
Mafuta: This looks like a nice place to sit
Crocs saying I think it is time for a refreshing dip in the river
I still cant comprehend how hippos aren't afraid of large crocs.
Cause Hippos have bigger teeth generally stronger thicker hide etc
She is so polite asking them to leave 😅
On the next episode, Crocks telling hippo and baby, come on out to the deep end of lake
Just imagine not being frightened of a crocodile.
imagine not being frightened by the hippo
Crocodiles at a big size can take down a small hippo. Big hippos can kill small Crocs. Big Crocs can take down big hippos
@@elvinmah165no de hecho no, a un macho líder de un estanque no lo quieres tener cerca es una bestia que pesa más de 3000kg y miden más de 3.5m sus bocas son más grandes que los de las hembras y sus caminos miden hasta 50 cm, el verdadero terror del agua es macho de hipopótamo adulto, literalmente una mordida y perforaria a un cocodrilo adulto son posibilidad alguna de soltarse... Los cocodrilos no le temen a los bebés, lo que no quieren es que el papá se enoje o los acaba a todos.
@@elvinmah165A big croc take down a big hippo. Not a chance! Only a rhino and elephant can.
@@edwynwhite1283 he misfired the logic.
When hippo and croc being best friends, And the reality theyre fighting alot
Mafuta is learning
No one wants be crushed under a 4000 lb 4 legged Land Cruiser
This video deserves more likes and comments. Funny, creative, teachable and inspirational in sense of video making
Everyone giving all the hippos the credit but no one wants to talk about that fearless cameraman getting so close to the crocodiles eye like that
Sounds like they're laughing at the crocs 😆
That looks like a nice relaxing shore to hang out on, with my lounge chair and some beers.
Yo the disrespect of sitting on the crock lol!
I see animals have sense of humor too. Baby hippo-prankster just sat on crocodile )
Go take a walk croc 🐊
Crocodiles know who their master is.
Hippos are capable of producing around 1,800 psi ( 8,100 Newtons) with their bite. In theory, they have a strong enough bite to snap a crocodile in half if needed. Also Hippo do eat meat as well.
That was smaller FEMALE hippi
Hippo using the Croc's back as a ass scratcher😂😂😂
How baby hippos survive in a muddy soup full of crocs I’ll never know.
by being extremely aggressive, fearless, territorial, and dominating
