Angry hippo shows lions who's boss of the river

The video shows an angry hippo, suddenly bursting out of the water, chasing away a thirsty pride of lions from the river.
Hippos and lions are two of Africa’s most dangerous animals. While the hippo is not part of the big five animals, these massive aquatic creatures are extremely dangerous and kill more people in Africa every year than any other animal. The lion on the other hand is at the top of the big five animals, ruling as the king of beasts across the African savannah. Hippos and lions do not associate with each other, but when they do meet on the rare occasion, you can be sure there will be hostility. Hippos instinctively know that lions are a threat, specially to younger hippos. Lions on the other hand know that they are no match for a fully grown adult hippo. The scenario in the video shows just that. While a thirsty pride of lions settled down next to a river to drink, a male hippo quickly took notice and was clearly not happy with the presence of the lions. Suddenly, the hippo bursts out of the water, charging towards the pride of lions. The lions immediately reacted by running away from the edge of the river. The hippo charged a second time while another hippo also came into the picture to show its annoyance with the lions. The hippos were honking, sending a clear threat message to the lions. The lions were clearly very careful of the hippos and in the end the lions decided to move onto another part of the river while the hippo claimed victory on this occasion.
