Stacey Farrell, from Heritage Tours and Safaris, filmed this interaction and told LatestSightings.com the story:
“While we were on a hippo and crocodile safari, we spotted a small bull shark swimming close to a pod of hippos. We stopped the boat along the bank, so we could watch hippos return to the water”
“Since hippos defecate in the water, this draws a lot of fish. If there are a lot of fish, it grabs the attention of the nearby sharks looking for a quick meal.”
“This water isn’t very clear, causing visibility to be very low. This made the shark a bit disorientated and it started swimming right into the sharks. This caused the hippos to get angry and start charging the shark. Luckily for the shark, it was much faster than the hippos and managed to swim away without serious damage.

Bull shark: “Tf are they doing in here?!”
Hippos: “Tf is he doing in here?!”
Stephen Cock the shark I probably there to get his food
Lol
Most likely that this wasn’t filmed in Kruger but rather in the St Lucia wetlands park in KZN. It’s an estuary and the tour boat gives it away
@@SovietHacker1991 sharks feed on mullet that feed on hippo dung under water.
@@kylemcculloch1254 Yep, this is St Lucia.
Hippos: You swam into the wrong neighbourhood foo!
Reminds me of that seen in Die Hard with a Vengeance.
Wow! Hippos, a Bull Shark and no doubt some Crocs lurking - those are seriously dangerous waters!
Definitely not for free style swimmers .
Dangerous waters for the shark too.
One bite by hippo and the bull would be split in half !!!! Better go home Mr. Bull !!!!!! You have no chance !!!!
Paul Jackson
Hells toilet!!!!
Mr. Gigan it’d still get killed by the crushing weight of a hippos bite which is known to break the bones of adult rhinos.
That is a ridiculously dangerous body of water. Wow!
Let's not forget the lions, painted dogs and hyenas patrolling the shoreline.
Amazing footage.
and u got leopards black mambas and phytons up in the trees
And the humans on the boat
Crocs in the water too@@jakethedog2934
It’s not enough that there are hippos and crocodiles in the water, now freeking bull sharks. Never go swimming in Africa waters.
Um, guess you haven’t heard of Australian waters
Ya, no kidding, I saw my mother in law in there too.
You are funny. That place it's not safe but there are lot of other places to swim
@helicopter weewee Bro we are talking about Africa here and I am from there too
Bullshark swim in a lot of place that you would find its odd to be honest. Google it
Hippos: Sharks do exist!
Shark: Hippos do exist!
Sharks, hippos and crocodiles in the same river, it would surprise me how the local people survive
I guess they must stay out of the river, yeah?
@@creamypotato8737 Living by the rivers, I suppose they are dedicated to fishing? Living by the rivers, I suppose they irrigate the fields? So I don't know what you mean, but contact between those populations and these animals is inevitable.
We avoid swimming.
I wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley those local people
Humans(modern and archaic) have survived right along these dangerous species, and more that have gone extinct...for hundreds of thousands to millions of years. Beginning our existence in environments like this, surviving and dominating environments like these, are the reason we have evolved into the APEX predator on the planet.
Surprised the Shark wasn't Taken-out by a Massive Croc. Some dangerous waters - right there. Great footage.
Hippos: Guys there is a huge sushi swimming around us, lets chomp on it
I would have appreciated it if you swam into the water there for some under water shots.
Kreutz R.I.P cameraman then
DJ Washington Pretty much.
Kreutz id like to see you crawl into that hippo/crocodile/shark infested water...the hippos alone would kill him strictly for territorial purposes...he should risk his life for your enetertainment? Unless your paying him im sure he dont give a shit what youd like to see.
Kreutz - haha, sometimes people just don’t get it🤣👍
for 10 million dollars I would.
Sharks, hippos, and crocodiles...
What a safe river to swim in
rllly
It sure is. Something's just taken my other legg!
Damn, those are some really dangerous waterways! Hippos, bull sharks, crocodiles, river snakes, etc.
Anyone else curious to know why the shark kept circling, not leaving the area. It got frightened off a few times, so clearly understands there’s danger, and yet it keeps coming back, even casually swimming into the middle of the group of hippos and seriously tempting fate. Curiosity perhaps?
I was thinking that maybe there was a calf nearby and the shark wanted an easy meal, but there isn't one in sight. I bet it's most likely just curiosity, assuming the shark accidentally wandered into freshwater, and thus has most likely never seen hippos before.
I'm guessing it was possibly chasing a fish
Hippo take dumps in the water and sharks actually eat it like other fish do lol gross but it's true
Death wish
🦈 "How the hell did I end up here?"
🦛🦛 "We were all wondering the same thing."
Amazing footage! I’ve heard of reports of bull sharks scavenging on hippo carcasses in rivers before, but this interaction is something else!
Bull sharks exist in Japanese territorial waters, too. Plus On TH-cam I once watched a video in which a bull shark swam in Lake Nicaragua. They really exist nearly everywhere except near cold waters. I am looking forward to watching another bull shark video here on Kruger Sightings.
Bull sharks are pretty impressive when comes to entering waters other sharks aren't capable of
Go home shark, you're drunk
Luke Anthony legend
Benny Siegel. Stop music
Lmao!
Corny
@@90XVision your comment is corny too
Bull sharks are notorious for swimming up rivers and I believe there are documented attacks of them in fresh water. I remember watching about this on shark week some years ago.
The Matawan creek attacks were made by a bull shark.
Nah you don’t say lol
That's the thing though so far there hasn't been any know recordings of Bull Sharks swimming up the rivers and killing people. I mean it's rare that a Bull Shark would even come up this far, up an African river, in the first place.
@@mr.n7237 They are the one species that can go from salt to fresh water, a great white cannot do that or other species.
@@juve96 There are a few species or sharks that can adjust to fresh water. But that isn't what I was implying; it's just rare to see Bull Sharks swimming in African rivers.
Now these are the type of things social media should be used for.
I love how you respond to your comments! Love your videos! 😊
Animal Face-Off right here;
Hippopotamus vs. Bull Shark
the hippos were probably all like "bro WTF IS THAT?!"
Hippo..."Out of your element bull shark, go on and get!"
Even crocs know better than to mess with a hippo!
Yep, that's a rare encounter so neither species was accustomed to each other.
F
Hippos, bull sharks, crocodiles. Swimming around there must be quite the adrenaline rush...😎
kingsky68 I already had my adrenaline rush for the day thanks 😎
@Oyuntsetseg Lkhagvaa I think that would still be a rush. Just a horrible one
Amazing footage.
That shark is lucky he’s fast because it doesn’t know what it’s f’n with!
Bull sharks have been found in the Mississippi as far north as Illinois and Iowa...
That bull shark obviously doesn't have that much experience with hippos! Talk about two things you'd never expect to meet!
That shark was playing with fire. If one of those hippos catches him in his jaws, game over. They crush canoes with that big mouth and spear like teeth.
Yep
That shark would have been turned into chum instantly, especially if the beachmaster got hold of him.
Bullshark: „Hehe i‘m the most lethal predator around..!“
Hippos (2/3 of them): sleeping 💤
Jeremy Wade Would Have Jumped In With A Fishing Pole.
😅😅👍
Snags a hippo by the tail with the fishing hook
"Fish on!"
Fish on
Bull sharks have their pups in freshwater. Where I live, we see bull sharks in the rivers around here occasionally. So to see that there are bull sharks and and hippos in the same river is not unusual. What was weird was how that shark just wouldn't leave.
Hippos: the ultimate offensive line.
That Bull Shark was about to spend his final hours in life because of its stupidity.
Nah, he would've just called his big cousin the great white to come in and back him up, in which case, nighty night hippo lmao.
@@handzofstone1152 nah bro hipos are very heavy and they work as a team and the can gang bang shark
@@handzofstone1152 This is the 2nd time i've seen a dumbass comment from you lol, like stop commenting on these videos when you lack the knowledge to back up your dumbass statements.
@@handzofstone1152 great white isn't going to do anything to a hippo period...lol. Hippo will scare that thing away like it's nothing
@@MrJPerry Great Whites would destroy a Hippo lol
Pretty big bull shark but the hippo is the king of fresh water
Little did he know he wasn't the predator at this standoff 😂
Bull sharks are one of the sharks that can survive in both saltwater and freshwater. But if it gets to close to an adult hippo it may become sushi.
Other sharks that can do that?
I never thought as a kid that this was possible.
This reminded me of the 1970's children's book "Hugo the Hippo" where hippos fought with sharks.
I'm taking a wild guess, lower Zambezi river? Does anyone know the exact location? That shark looked really interested in the hippos. Awesome footage.
Thanks for uploading!😇
Those hippos were like, you must not have heard bout us even the crocs don't fuck with us.
Hippos...like a boss! Great sighting!😊👍
My god, you're everywhere! :D I've seen you countless times commenting under videos about lions, all sorts of wild and not-so-wild cats, even here. It's almost as if there are a certain number of people that are just non stop on YT and you can't not notice them, like you, the Bleach guys, and a lot of internet bigots and fighters whose names I've already forgotten but I'd def recall them if I see them commenting :D
@@NympoGaming 😅😅😅😅😅
the shark thinking " why do those damn delicious looking meatpies come wth 2 daggers"
Fascinating! The hippos must have been confused...
Anna Marianne it’s what I was thinking
Ethan Eay, "I've never seen a perch this ugly".
Anna Marianne funny the first reaction it gave
I'm afraid so. I can't make head or tail how they permitted that shark to swim to and fro?! Sharks must be prey for Hippos!!
Денис Жданов - I don’t think so, hippos are herbivores as far as I know.
Where are crocs ?
XD
Hippo1:
oh wow never seen a deformed croc like that b4.
Hippo2:
Yeaa. Hes messed up, out of his mind too!!
This is the first time I've seen a bull shark not be at the top of the food chain when in murky water. That hippo bite ain't no joke, even Crocs don't mess with the hippo
A Great White would have its work cut out against an adult male hippo.
@@powerboatguy2308 They can't go into fresh water though right?
Sharks, crocs, and hippos oh my.
Hippos, Crocodiles, and Bull Sharks, OH MY!! Hippos, Crocodiles, and Bull Sharks, OH MY!! ( Version of The Wizard of OZ)
Every sharks are gangsta 'till they confront 10 hippos...
this is santa lucia estuary.as the hippos defecating continuosly in the water they attract a lot of fish.the shark is going there to catch fishes not to attack the hippos.especially in shallow water hippos could defeat a shark easily.
I was going to say
Sharks in Kruger
Wtf
Also known as Zambezi shark! Can swim in salt and fresh water!
james james No shit, Sherlock.
@@littielesbians 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Just amazing how the hippos dont care.
Imo, the sharks would be more of a threat than a croc is to a hippo. And yet they are playing with it. Fascinating
Nice! Keep up the good work
Imagine what it's like being a fish in that river.
Wow! I know Bull sharks can survive in fresh water, but in the U.S. no one ever hears of it. This was like major surreal to witness this!
They've been caught as far north as Alton, Ill.
Amazing that was the first for me . Never seen that encounter before
Awesome sighting!
Hippos r kicking ass and taking names!!
How often do sharks and Hippos interact?
First time I've seen this.
MrLongshot26 - Not often, but their offspring are called hipbullpotamus!
Lol well there’s an old show on animal planet where they made a hypothetical bull shark vs hippo encounter. Of course the shark gets crushed
nuff said hippos don’t eat flesh how’d it choke on it. and also that’s a one in a time situation it’s like saying the wolverine (not the marvel character I mean the animal) killing a polar bear yes it happend but only once in recorded history. so it’s like kind of the same thing here a bull shark defeating a hippo is a 1 in 10000 kind of thing. it’s extremely rare and I dare to say in some cases impossible.
@@somerandom769 do your research. Hippos do eat meat, not much but they do..
It's amazing how far up river some bullsharks travel. Some bullsharks have been seen over 2000klms up river away from the ocean
Shark run!
Hippos: gettem
This may be the first time this particular group of hippos have encountered a Bull Shark. They seem to be confused about what to do with it.
We get Bull sharks in rivers here in Australia all the time. They take dogs going for a quick dip and some have even taken cattle.
Ya and then the sharks get taken by a 12+ foot salty.
@@Garchompppp Yes.100%.
Shark lost his mind! Hippo be like TF is he doing here!
Bull sharks have their babies in lagoons like that...in Florida too...Mosquito Lagoon. Cool video...!
Looks like hippos are having shark for diner
The bull shark was attracted to the large barbell catfish that frequent hippo herds.
MrDrmillgram where can I read about that?, sounds interesting.
Bull Shark: (wanders into the hippo's territory to go back to sea)
Hippopotamus: So you've chosen death I see.
It is not in Kruger, but at St Lucia in Kwazulu Natal.
Was really cheering for the hippos - odd, that. 🤔
Not odd, I think most people would. Hippos are mammals and are therefore much closer relatives to us than the shark is
I'd say the shark was pretty lucky to make it out of there alive!
That shark was such a chad it did not give a damn lol, this is the first time I have ever seen a concerned Hippo lol
Hippos don't have the speed to threaten bull sharks, hence why the shark was comfortable messing with those hippos.
one bite and the fish is dead and if the hippos didnt finish him the crocs would @@blake7871
I reckon there was a very clever fish hiding amongst the Hippos. A bit like the wise old seals when the Great Whites are about, they tend to swim amongst the human swimmers to avoid being attacked. That's the thing about taking a swim in some continents, you're at the bottom of the food chain.
Hippos don't take any crap from anything. They're fearless.
That shark better watch out! Those hippos might drown it!
You're kidding, right?
SlitheryPoppy4 if they stop moving their gills will get no oxygen
Depends on the species. Some can lay on the ocean floor
Sharky2055 isn't that a bull shark tho
popa
Yes, that is a bullshark.
I wonder how a hippo would go up against a large 20+ foot great white if it somehow managed to wander off into saltwater.
Or an Orca.
It would become a big meal for the great white lol.
Honestly dude there aren't a lot of 20 foot great whites anymore but even then they would probably have a shitty time agaisnt a fully grown 4 ton hippo 😂. To answer the Orca question, that would be a different story. Orcas are the apex predator of this planet and to add to that they hunt in packs.
Well, this is one I've never seen before!!
That shark is BRAVE man
Not even a great white would try it lmao
You would never see a great white and a hippo in the same location but if you did the shark would have a better than 50% chance if it had a surprise attack. The hippo while very powerful is really slow and wouldn't be able to get a bite on the great white. Great white do attack elephant seals, google them and see how big they are. About hippo size.
Even a testosterone overloaded bull shark knows it can't take on 10 + hippos. There's easier ways to get a meal.
're
It wouldn't be able to take one of them on. Idk what it was thinking, maybe that they were some kind of fish.
Prob not even 1 hippo
@@numinumful3815 what do you get out belittling people i dont get your kind musnt think that much of yourself im sure
@@ComaToast1 yeah try to jump into conclusions from me doin that. btw it was the first or second time i ever did it
que buen video gracias desde argentina
Hippos to shark: what kind of croc is this?
Shark to hippos: what kind of fish is this?
Just another reason not to swim in the local waters...
Wow... where was this?
KZN, iSimangaliso Wetland Park

@@joemomtana6014 😅😅😅😅😅😅👍👍
This shark has got some serious ass competition. These hippos are not afraid.
Never seen this. Is this a lake or a river? How did the shark come?
For the ppl that favor the sharks. Let’s see, the largest great white shark ever recorded in history, “Deep Blue” and estimated to weighs in at 2.5 tons that’s ( 5000Ib ), let me remind you that this is very rare, great white average at 1200Ib to 2400Ib. Now, the common Hippo weighs anywhere from 5,000 to 8,000 pounds, with the heaviest known hippo was approximately 9,900 pounds and the male hippo continues to grow throughout its life. Hippos are known to have such thick hide that Nile croc would have hard time tear open a dead one without that death roll, and crocs have more bite force than that of a great white! Compare the largest to the largest, hippo weighs twice as much, on average it’s almost three times the size great white. Let’s be fair, if it’s in the ocean, great white definitely are faster and will attack from the bottom and side to side and keep taking bits till the hippo bled out slowly, although hippos are slower, but if it head butted the shark during an attack, it’s over, GW would be in a coma and the pissed off hippo will torn it into pieces. if it’s in Nile, there isn’t gonna be a fight. Can you imagine how much bite force a 15 feet 8000Ib hippo has.
Where was this??
Ayyub jogee read description dude.
I like it when the baby hippo is quite combative when Big mama nearby ;)
Haa love it
Bullsharks are crazy!
hippos gonna destroy shark... but shark just to fast for hippo.
Hippos be like: why do we hear Jaws theme
Meanwhile
Bull Shark be like: wait I'm not a Great White
Hippo's vs a shark..just when you think you've seen it all 😅
That's what I'm saying. As a kid I loved Discovery Chanel. I was told stuff like this doesn't happen.
Imagine by some miracle escaping the bullshark then you bump into a bunch of hippos.
Unbelievable! I have never, ever heard of a shark in any of the rivers on safari. I wonder who would win between a full-grown bullshark and a full grown crocodile. I think maybe the crocodile but you never know.
Maybe someone will film that and send it to us :)
Sounds like an incredible fight.
Normal for KZN especially around Saint Lucia Estuary. In Richard Bay there are often sightings of hippos in the sea as well as crocodiles. Normal day in Zululand I'd say. Man! It's great to live in Africa! Follow me on Instagram for everything that's African #widgetphotograpy
Hippos have been known top take out crocodiles so a shark is not an issue for them and Bull Sharks have been known to swim and live in fresh water rivers, lakes etc
i feel like the shark would win that.
Not really. Hippos are known to be the top killer of most humans and animals.
That must have been a juvenile and lucky to survive.all river animals know to leave hippos out of their business..except 🐘s
And rhinos, granted they are land animals
That bull shark has like no chill if it's willing to get that close to freaking hippos
The hippos remind me of my cats trying to catch a mouse the way they pounce on it.
