this is remarkable, but the croc isn't evil. They need to eat too. Those who dislike reptiles (snakes) feeding on other animals should look in the mirror and consider how many species WE kill for sustenance. You can find consolation in the fact that this croc wont need to eat for weeks after a meal like that.
@nahed651010 I cried because that meanie hippo tried to make that poor croc go hungry. Meanie starving an animal like that. Good thing the croc ended up getting his meal anyway. :)
I am somewhat skeptical that this is truly what it appears to be. Hippos are known to occasionally feed on meat and that may have been the reasoning behind her actions. On the other hand I believe animals are more capable of "human" traits such as altruism then we recognize. On another note I feel like reptiles are "dragons" within the collective consciousness of mammals. I was struck by the romantic notion that this was a display of warm-blooded kinship against a primeval foe.
@MrAnubis89 I must say while i do not agree with you completely reptiles and insects are hated by almost all mammal for they have claimed more of us collectively then almost anything else.... who knows you might be right :P
Yes, they have :). Im talkin from my own experience :). There're a lot of misinformations+disinformations about animals :(. So we all use 2 think that they've got ONLY an instinct, but when some1 amon us work next 2 them or have pets or search 4 information, then the truth about animals reveals: they got feelins, own will... 4 example cats only do what they want & see us like equals, they live with us but come 2 behave as follows: "U human & I are equals, I like 2 b
@ednakazuya12 The hippo saves it to eat it itself, unfortunety animals are not like that saving others, the bit it opens its mouth and the injured animals head is released is reverse footage, it snapped its neck
i dont think it was trying to save it, i think that it got territorial and in fact killed the impala. As much as i would like to think that it did try and save it the fact that it took the animals head into it's mouth twice and once after it was awake suggests that actually the hippo killed it, just not as graphic as crocs kill thier prey.
@buffytariq hmmm although i do believe that it was trying to save it, im pretty sure that if he really wanted to kill it first it would have been really brutal and over in a few seconds. however another idea that i got from you is that... it was trying to save it but then seeing that he sucks at giving cpr. he then decided to end the impala's misery by killing it. just a theory. i still believe that he wanted to save it and just failed.
yes the head is gone, the hippo saved the baby then it realised the baby cannot be saved and the croc will come back. So he snapped off his head in a painless killing. THE END FUCKING AWESOME HIPPO.
Wow. I used to respect National Geographic....They really expect us to believe that a hippo understands the mechanics of resuscitation? Oh wait, judging from a lot of comments on here, most of you do believe it. Idiots.
that was just like egyption god........ the egyptions belived that on of there gods have hippo, half human was the gaurdians of babies and pregnant woman........i guess they also looked after baby animals
More like the hippo was testing things using it's mouth, for whatever reason. Certainly the impala was already fatally wounded by the crocodile. The impala was flipped over the other way from where it was last being filmed with the hippo mouthing it when the crocodile went back for it. Editing can change things a great deal. Please watch again and reconsider what we are been shown. A hippo has no concept of saving other animals. Only if I saw the complete video would I reconsider my opinion.
i was sawing that two! there was a croc and it did the hunt of impalas. it saddening me. when watched it saw a hippo and saving the baby. the croc skared ran. it had heroic to it. i liked a lot.
I know this is not addressing the concerns of your comment, but it made me sad to think that so many people are so unwilling to share their definition of sentience with other animals. How can anyone expect to find intelligent life on other planets if we aren't even willing to see it on our own? There's no reason why a hippo, who has a lot of time on its hands, shouldn't want to offer help, or feel sympathy. Whether it actually knows about CPR is debatable.
" A hippo has no concept of saving other animals."
How do you know? Are you an expert on hippos? I've seen a female lion once taking care of like a deer or something. Even if in this case the hippo actually wants to eat the impala, doesn't mean that a hippo could never somehow save another animal. I mean, if a dog can save a human, why can't a hippo save an impala?
I remember this video, it is flippin old. It was filmed by the South African Jamie Uys. The original is much longer and even more amazing. Brilliant stuff. Amazing.
also when the hippo charges the croc it isnt in the same frame and when the birds are eating the impala it seems to have a head but when the croc drags it away it dosnt seem to, all highly dubious. All in all a highly edited video of real events but from what i can see im guessing the hippo is the one that decapited the impala :)
"Amazing video of a hippo who spots a young impala being eaten by a croc., and then proceeds to scare the croc. away, in attempts to revive the impala."
from 1:10 onwards the hippo puts its mouth around the impalas head then the film is rewound back and forth a few times. I mean since when do hippos give mouth to mouth to other animals?...and the last shot the impalas being dragged away but i dont see a head there do you?
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
and that by the top human killer in the animal kingdom, probably considered the impala was part of the herde, still a weird manoeuvre, it certainly didnt try to do mouth-to-mouth, probably wanted to pet it with the tongue or something, at least it had a happy end .. for the croc ^^
"You wouldnt say so in NYC or Chicago" buuhuu. Show your black ass in Europe and we would eat you alive. If you would act like u do in Europe like u do in America, then you are screwed.
That clip is so cut up, the hippo and the croc aren't even in the frame at the same time. I think the hippo was ust running over to see what was killed and if he wanted it. He doesn't like impala. Must be a Ford man.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
sry but i think this is bullshit. the video is real, but the story is not, it was fabricated for a dramatic story for television. i believe the hippo, of cruel intention, just killed the impala and left it there.

"You might call it a form of compassion, but its more of a side effect of survival."

its called myotony. It's when one species recognizes infantile traits in another species and reacts with parental behavior. It's why humans have pets, and why cuckoos and cowbirds can get other birds to raise their eggs. You might call it a form of compassion, but its more of a side effect of survival.
It's definitely not myotony, my friend. It's fairly simple to break down, even without any particular medical training; myotony is "muscular tension" (myo[s] = muscle, [Greek]). Like in the case of "myocardial", where it means cardiac muscle. It's called something else, although I can't tell you what that may be. However, it isn't myotony (or at least, it isn't any definition I am aware of, that isn't of muscular inference). ;-)
thanks, you're right. whatever it is, there should be a word for it. How about ENSCRUNDULATION? No pesky Greek/Germanic roots there to make me look stupid!
Hmmmm.... I couldn't break that one down, and my Google search didn't turn up anything for that word. I think you're on to something, here. Maybe you should copyright it??? Could make you rich, on the basis of royalties. I can just see it on Discovery Channel, "And now, our feature presentation: "Pious Predators: The ESCRUNDULATING animals of the Serengeti" ;-)
most likely the hippo mistakes the impala for a young hippo, and tries to save it
hippos are retarded after all ....

Like in the case of "myocardial", where it means cardiac muscle. It's called something else, although I can't tell you what that may be. However, it isn't myotony (or at least, it isn't any definition I am aware of, that isn't of muscular inference). ;-)

thanks, you're right. whatever it is, there should be a word for it. How about ENSCRUNDULATION? No pesky Greek/Germanic roots there to make me look stupid!

Hmmmm.... I couldn't break that one down, and my Google search didn't turn up anything for that word. I think you're on to something, here. Maybe you should copyright it??? Could make you rich, on the basis of royalties. I can just see it on Discovery Channel, "And now, our feature presentation: "Pious Predators: The ESCRUNDULATING animals of the Serengeti" ;-)
