Hippos vs Lion: When predator becomes prey [video] | The Citizen

While lions are usually strong contenders in a fight, this one knew he was out of his depth and decided to wait it out. Read more here:

However, the lion unfortunately swims towards another hippo that was under the water and gets attacked again.While most comments noted how lucky the lion was to have survived the ordeal, Dominic said the hippos probably had no intention to kill the lion, but only wanted it out of their territory.

“That’s the difference between predators that have to eat meat to survive. That hippo turned away once he achieved his goal and the one that was hiding in the water closer to the shore just jumped out of the way probably out of fear. “The hippos wanted to scare rather than kill and they understand that on land potentially the situation will be different. They should have finished the job because the Lions remember. There will be a hippo meal,” Dominic commented.Mr Techie shared the same sentiments, commenting: “A male lion is strong enough to fatally wound even a hippo. All smart animals try their best to avoid injury including lions and hippos. Hippos wanted to scare the lion away, not fight him”.
