Hippos are one of the most aggressive creatures in the world and are often seen as one of the most dangerous animals in Africa.
Hippos are especially aggressive when it comes to encroaching on their territory and touching their offspring.
A video was recorded of a scene of love and death as a baby hippo defends its mother from a bloodthirsty male lion.
At the beginning of the clip, a hungry lion discovered a mother hippo lying on the side of the road due to exhaustion.
Meanwhile, a baby hippo is standing in front and preventing the lion from reaching its mother.
Instead of running away, the baby hippo ran at full speed at the lion to scare it away and prevent it from attacking its mother.
Sometimes the lion pounces on the baby hippo, but it escapes and then comes back to attack the hunter. In the end, because he was not excited about fighting the baby hippo, the lion went away.
The mother hippo died of dehydration not long after. The sad thing is that because they are not old enough to feed themselves, the baby hippo also dies from the same cause after two days.
