High stakes and aggression as hippo bulls face off in intense conflict
The video shows two very aggressive hippo bulls, locked in a territorial battle, with each male’s territory and females at stake.
While not part of Africa’s big five animal group, the hippo is one of the most dangerous animals in the animal kingdom and kills more humans in Africa every year than any other animal. Hippo bulls are extremely territorial when they claim a certain piece of water for them and their females. When other equally sized bulls enter the arena and are not submissive, all hell breaks loose. The video was filmed in the Moremi Game Reserve in Botswana and shows such a rarely seen battle and it was intense. With their sharp upper and lower tusks located in the mouth, hippos use them as their weapons of attack. Biting your opponent and inflicting wounds is the main goal of the winner in the end. Together with the aggressive fighting, there are the sounds of these massive beasts that sound like something form a horror movie. Their deep and scary sounding roars and groans echoed through the valley. Eventually one hippo bull got in a few bites and the one on the receiving end decided it was better to make a run for it. The hippo came bursting out the water onto land, with the dominant male setting after. It was incredible to see how fast these animals were running on land. After a bit of land sprinting, the hippo decided it was best to get back into the water and headed straight for the whole family of hippos that was looking on all along. The dominant hippo still chased after the intruder until he went straight into the middle of the rest of the hippos. It was weird to see then how suddenly everything calmed down as if nothing happened. What an incredible safari moment that was indeed and not something you get to see every day out in the African wild.

Heart-warming Moments: Lion Cubs Join Moms for Playtime Fun
The video shows the heart-warming moments when a whole bunch of cute baby lions suddenly appear out of the bush to join their mothers for some playtime fun. During a safari in the Kruger National Park, we came across two adult female lions resting next to the road. It was not long before we noticed something moving through the long grass in the distance. We couldn’t believe our eyes when about six of the most adorable lion cubs came running with great excitement through the long grass towards their mothers. It was clear that the cubs remained hidden in a nearby den, and they got the signal from their mothers that it was safe to come out and play. The lion cubs looked super excited as they joined the two females for a well-deserved playtime session. The lion cubs looked super active and full of energy while the two mothers looked like they needed a rest. What a super cute moment to witness in the African wild.

Watch cute baby lion's playful antics with mother's tail
The video shows one of the cutest sights you will ever see in the African wild. A pride of lions with the cutest cubs were spotted in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. Seeing the king of the jungle in baby form is a rare and special occasion out in the wild. While watching these very cute and playful cubs interacting with their mother’s, one little individual caught our attention. The cute baby lion was totally fascinated by its mother’s tail and couldn’t stop biting and pulling the tail. It looked like the little one was having the time of its life. At the same time, its not all play. The cub is also developing the necessary skills and movements needed for hunting while pulling and biting its mother’s tail.
