This nail-biting sighting took place in the Selinda Reserve in Botswana.
Three lions reminds me of
ENGLANDDDD
Great Plains Conservation shared this incredible footage and story with LatestSightings.com:
Lions are often referred to as the kings of the jungle. For the most part, this is true, as they are very dominant and territorial animals and of course predators by nature. They are incredible hunters and do not step out of their territories without good reason. But of course, just like any other animal - they will need to move through difficult terrain and risk dangerous encounters. Especially when their circumstances require it.
Speed swimming from a hippo was unexpected and definitely worth knowing 😬
This pride of lion was attempting to cross the Selinda spillway in Botswana. They were clearly aware of the hippos around them but obviously felt the need to get to the other side of the river. As soon as they started to cross, they realized they were now in unchartered waters that had already been claimed. But was it too late to turn around?
Hippos are also very territorial and also known as very dangerous animals - especially when one gets too close to the water. Four lions crossing were understandably a threat to these hippos as they just saw these massive lions entering their territory. Unaware that the cats were most probably merely trying to cross.
Ah... the king of the jungle crapping itself.
The one hippo makes it his mission to get these lions out of the water. Not to necessarily eat or even injure the lion severely. Merely to make it clear that they do not welcome uninvited guests in their home.
Two lions succeeded in crossing the river, but the other two managed to turn around in time and swim back to the other side. All in all, no lions were severely injured. However, half of the pride were yet to decide how to get back over to their pride members on the other side.
Don’t mess with them Vegans in Africa!
Kick a Carny’s a**.
