The crocodile made several attempts at escape but the curious mammal continued to give chase. Crocodiles often prey on hippo calves but the reptile did not show any signs of predation nor did it fight back. The reluctant playmate eventually made its way to a herd of elephants that scared away the young hippo.

Imagine being a feared and respected adult and then a child bullies you.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Basically what babies do to their parents.
Literally every anime ever 🤣
Hippos actually are not like children they are more dangerous than crocodile
@@jayasmrmore3687 They're dangerous children. lol
Plot twist the elephant also wanted to play
😂
Nice twist!👌
Lol
if you think being trampled is fun
Hippo: Leave me alone!!
Croc: I am death! Fear me!
Hippo: Aww, you so cute! I'm gonna call you Mr Tickles!

Elephant: NO MY MR TICKLE

The crocodile is afraid for its life and NatGeo is just like *"oh how cute, they're playing"*
Lizards are cold blooded reptiles you goof. It runs on instinct and does not have the same emotions as mammals.
@Luke O'Leilei Whys that funny? Hippos are top of the food chain in most of these environments. I even remember reading about how in some African region more little kids were killed by hippos than malaria or disease.
@@baller84milw it's based on size. A hippo can kill anything it can fit its jaw around. and an elephant can kill anything it can lift with its trunk or crush with 1 foot stomp. Lions can't hunt larger game without risking their own lives or ganging up on a single target.
gators can't do anything to something they can't drag underwater.
Right, they should've intervened lol
Elephants are like that big, quiet, gentle kid in class who doesn't bother anyone but if things go chaotic they get up and REGULATE
Imagine being so boss you can "play" with a crocodile!
@Heh Ndje lol right
Why are you describing Australians?
Im playing in the congress
Hippos can literally throw alligators/crocodiles around
Hippos cause more deaths in Africa than any other animal. It's not even close
Humans: awww look at them! So cute
Crocodile: for the love of all that is holy,
please HELP ME
😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂 😂
Bahahahahahaha :-)
I died ☠️☠️
This brought such a big smile to my face. The people giggling, the hippo chasing the croc, and the croc being so nonchalant. Anyone else?
just remember hippos kill the most people pretty much in the world
Crocodile was annoyed cos the moment it bites the baby hippo, mama is gonna sign-off on its life insurance
Hippo: "Lets play!
Croc: "No thanks, im tired".
Hippo: "I wasnt asking"
Elephant: "No means NO! >:("
The elephants basically smacked a child ngl
When a full grown African crocodile is the LEAST dangerous animal in the scene..
Couldn't get any twisted than that! Oh wait....
It’s not full grown
@@TacticaLLR it is
@@Drinkanddivee Yes and no. It is an adult but crocodiles grow forever until they die of injury or disease.

Lol yeah, I never knew Hippos would be playful animals
Yeah, thought the same)
Never in my life did I ever think I would see an alligator looking nervous, being a victim and having to call the big boy gang to handle the “small stuff”

Alligator in Africa we dnt have gators here we only have crocodiles.. Thank you

Elephant: stop bullying that poor lizard!
Alligator: *crosses elephants off its list of food.
@@darksythe2226 they never were on that list. Every animal has a certain amount of fear and respect for Elephants. Because they either stomp you or choke you with their trunk.
@@DefinitelyNotEmma Nonsense I've seen croc's eat elephants & attack them
@@billybob-ro6qf yeah baby elephants.
@@TH-camCommenter1st I saw a video of a large croc attach itself to the trunk of an adult elephant. The elephant was in alot of pain & kept trying to knock the croc off it's trunk, but the crock was locked on tight. Poor elephant had to stomp the croc to death to free itself. Elephant most likely will never be the same after all that trunk damage.
Love how the Elephants are coming to defend the bullied crocodile 😂, they’re like “LEAVE HIM ALONE, BOTHER SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE”
They were protecting that baby elephant seen near the end.
@@davidc9256
Most likely. Funny thing is though, elephants have been know to protect other animals occasionally, even from their own kind. There was a story of young elephants bullying and even killing some young rhinos in a nature preserve. Some older elephants came in, saw what was going on, and put a quick stop to it.

@@MayankKumar-pq1dx nope
"Alright play time is over. WE are here. SCRAM!" - Elephant
Literally the only animal to scare away a hippo can be an elephant
Travis Walsh any animal can scare a hippo. It's just about them getting spooked. A mouse can chase elephants away seen it before Nothing to do with size it's just about the spook affect. Animals don't have understanding like humans so they can get scared of something they don't understand
Or a group of humans with spears.
Udoy Bose no they have not smh..
And my ex girlfriend
James Scharback Yes they have, hippos are very aggressive.
I love how the Elephants were like "enough of this nonsense!

They protect people they like too

even the croc knows not to fuck with hippos scariest animal around
john adams croc get killed if they do anything to baby hippos so they just dont do anything
That Croc was sitting his pants xD
john adams tell that to Gustave
john adams well hippos are scared of elephants

That instigator requires an investigator, and possibly a litigator, or a delegator, but definitely two elephants in an elevator.
What a cute toy that young hippo playing with
"It appears this predator wants to be left alone"
Elephant: I got you, homie.
now i know the role of an elephant in the jungle, they are a 'peace keeper', like the jungle police 😂

Everyone thinks crocodile is the big bad killer until they see a young hippo messing with one and see that the crocodile couldn't do anything to it and just when they think hippos are insane elephants show up and make the hippos run for their lives
People always seem to underestimate the herbivores. They're probably more dangerous to us then then predators, because predators are doing it for food.
Edit: For those who keep telling me that hippos are omnivores, I was not aware that they eat meat on extremely rare occasions.
And a honey badger would have taken them all out
