A fully grown hippo is a daunting challenge for any predator, even lions! But the wild is unpredictable, and lions must take what comes their way. That couldn’t have been truer for these 5 lionesses who tried turning a threat into an opportunity.
Their tactics were incredible! After quickly assessing the best option, one of the lionesses distracted the hippo while the rest surrounded it, almost like it was scripted. And it happened so quickly!
When the hippo noticed how it had been outplayed, it started to panic, and that’s when the real chaos began! You can see the desperation as it ran around in circles with its mouth wide open, just trying to grab a lion!
The lions were calm and calculated, so the more panicked it was, the worse it became for the hippo. Eventually, the hippo couldn’t keep up with the lions and their movements, and the lions came closer and closer to jumping on it.
