There are many people around the world who are fond of seeing animals closely. In such a situation, to fulfill their hobby, people board a car and go to some wildlife sanctuary i.e. National Game Reserve in the country or abroad. There one sees lions hunting, and sometimes one observes some other animal very closely. Videos related to this often go viral on social media. Many times, different temperaments of animals can also be seen. These animals usually do not attack on safari, but sometimes they even drag people from inside the vehicle. Or they attack the vehicle. Today we are going to show you one such video. This video has been shared on Kruger National Reserve’s official YouTube channel Latest Sightings, which was captured by Katherine Gilson, Steve and Richard Teichman. The video is from Manyoni Private Game Reserve of South Africa.
It is said that Catherine, Steve and Richard took the help of experienced guide Sandiso to visit Manyoni Game Reserve. All four were going through the road passing by the river bank. As soon as they reached a crooked turn, they encountered an unexpected incident. The hippo was standing in front of his safari jeep. In such a situation, as soon as they saw the hippopotamus, these people stopped their car and started capturing its video. The hippo was moving towards them silently. Sandiso told the tourists accompanying him that although these hippos are fond of eating grass, they are also considered to be of very angry nature. Sandiso could also tell from the hippo’s behavior that he was in no mood to be with anyone! Seeing the hippo moving towards them, guide Sandiso knew that something was wrong. In such a situation, he had already started making his way backwards.
The hippo was slowly moving towards them. Suddenly he attacked the car rapidly. In such a situation, these people started driving their car in back gear. After watching the video it seemed that the hippopotamus would bite the car. He attacked Bonnet. If someone had been sitting on the side seat, the hippo might have scratched him too. But the good thing was that the seat on the side was vacant. On the other hand, the guide made the safari go back without stopping it. However, despite the vehicle retreating, the hippopotamus did not leave them. The guide also understood that now it would be difficult to go further through this route. After being saved, there was a smile on everyone’s face, but it can be clearly said that hardly any of them will be able to forget this accident. By the way, let us tell you that the skin of hippos is very sensitive to the sun, so they feed in the safety of night. But don’t know how this hippo came on the road in the heat of the day. It is very unusual to see a hippopotamus out during the heat of the day!
But thanks to the guide’s experience and patience, everything ended in the best possible way. The hippopotamus moved on safely, there was no damage to the vehicle, and most importantly, everyone in the vehicle was completely fine. People are watching this video a lot on YouTube. Hundreds of comments have also come. After watching the video, a person wrote that the hippopotamus is definitely one of the scariest animals that can attack you. Another wrote that you can see the movement of the hippo, even though it is a very heavy animal. See how fast he moves in just a few seconds. Seeing him for the first time, one does not even realize that he is preparing to attack. Imagine that you are walking and you collide with him, what will happen?
