There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Nkuhuma young male Junior vs Hippos 

Apparently both mom and baby died a couple days later!!!!!

From Latest Sightings

While on Safari, this heart-clenching moment a baby hippo risks its life to save his mother’s was caught on camera.

Watch video below!

This footage reveals that in nature, not only would a mother do anything to protect her baby, but vice versa.

Private Kruger Safaris Director, Hennie Bekker, caught this stunning show of protection while driving to Lower Sabie while in the Kruger National Park, South Africa.

Hennie, 35, says: “I’ve been visiting the Kruger Park for 30 years and have seen lots of sightings, but this was the first ever sighting of this nature.”

During the first half of 2016, the Kruger National Park has not had much rain. The drought has had terrible affects on all the animals in the park and especially the water animals such as hippos. The lack of nutrients in the food has caused a lot of animals to grow weak and defenseless again predators.
This is perfect predator season.

Hennie explains: “I was on a safari with guests and was heading back to camp after seeing a lot of wildlife throughout the whole day. Just before camp, along the Sabie River, I spotted a hippo and her calf. At first I only saw the hippos. After a little while I spotted a male lion on the bank of the river.” Hennie was lucky to have many great sightings that day, but one can easily drive around the whole day in the park and not see many interesting sightings, that’s where our Latest Sightings app can come in handy when doing a drive. Hennie, however, didn’t expect just how incredible this sighting would end up being!

The video starts off when one can see the male lion and the baby hippo already engaged in an intense stand off. Hennie expressed that: “At first I didn’t think that something amazing was going to play out when capturing the scene on my camera. It felt unreal and exciting to witness the male lion trying to catch the baby hippo when it jumped on its back, but at the same time you feel sorry for the mother and the baby hippopotamus. 
You can see the baby really trying everything to protect the mother since the mother is to weak to defend herself.”

At the end of the video, you can see how the male lion gives up trying to hunt the hippos and walks off. Hennie says: “It was already late afternoon and we needed to head back to camp, before the gates closed, so we had to leave the sighting.”
 

WATCH THE VIDEO:




Hennie later went back to the same location and watched how the two hippos slowly died due to a lack of food and water. Going back now, they are only a pile of bones.
