In this amazing video a baby hippo sends a pack of wild dogs scampering away from a fortunate kudu at the Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe.

The female of the antelope species was a target for the bloodthirsty mob, and had leaped into a water hole to escape their clutches.

She thought she was safe as the dogs can't swim, but then found herself sharing the water with three crocodiles and three hippos.


Rose Hipwood, founder of The Luxury Safari Company said: 'To see something which involves all of these species is incredible but to see it in Zimbabwe is even more special.' (Source)
