Hippos take on crocodiles for best sunbathing spot | Serengeti - BBC

A bask of crocodiles is no match for this fierce hippo 🦛🐊 #Serengeti #iPlayer

Love and loss, jealousy and rivalry, tragedy and triumph as the lives of the animals entwine and dramatically unfold in the heart of this legendary land.

You know you're a fiercesome beast when you use a croc to scratch your butt 😂

I like how chill this interaction was, never seen such a sibling-like interaction with croodiles or hippos

[delilah]

Hippos: “why are these dwarf dinosaurs in our spot”

Crocs: “why are these overweight pigs trying to steal our spot”

[modernman]

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...

I love how the crocs know better to not mess with the baby hippos with all those adult around 😂😂

[albertol]

The little hippo sat on that crocodile like he didn't care 😂

[deadpoolchimichangas]

The crocs are like: I ain’t dealing with this today

[delana]

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. 😄

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"😁

[randombedroomguitarrist]

an animal that is able to hang around Crocodiles and not being scared... that's something.

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.

Crocodiles were like “ Oh crap here she comes again” 😂

[ryanwilliams]

Crocodiles: We're too scary for anyone to challenge us on our river bank.

Hippos: Allow us to introduce ourselves.

[jamesdoyle]

The crocs know a little nip could turn into a devastating crunch so they kindly moved on

[johnclements]

Everyone's a gangster till a hippo sits on ur head

[steelpipetv]

I love baby hippo Mafuta hes so cute he knows mama was there so he wanted to show off lol

[n.]

Those crocs look like they're SO done with those hippos😄

[JD-jonah]

Mother Hippo: "Are these seats taken?"
Crocs: " No please, you can have them!"

[yonu]

Crocodile said when he dived at the end. "I''be back".

[Peniba]

Both don't like each other. But both try to live along. That's cool haha
