00:00 [MUSIC PLAYING]
00:03 Continuing to Africa's wild nature,
00:16 where there are countless interesting things
00:19 that we can spend a lifetime exploring,
00:21 but not necessarily gone.
00:23 Somewhere, there still exist interesting things,
00:27 the unknowns, which we have not yet witnessed.
00:30 The animals here have extremely fierce competitions.
00:34 And sometimes, just stray a little from a hunter,
00:38 they become the prey for others.
00:40 The big lagoon or the river on each grassland
00:44 always attracts all species, because that is the only place
00:49 where there is drinking water, even herbivores or carnivores.
00:53 But also, where there is the most abundant food sources.
00:57 And the two main characters today
00:59 are the lion and the hippo.
01:03 Don't know if the big violent hippo has to fall
01:06 before the power of the lion.
01:08 So watch this video until the end to get your answer.
01:13 The fight between the lion and the hippo.
01:17 The lion.
01:19 As a symbol of strength, the lion
01:21 is considered the king of the grasslands,
01:24 with a roar that frightens many species around it.
01:27 As the lion is a large, powerful animal,
01:30 the second largest in the cat family, after the tiger.
01:34 In the West, the lion is known as the lord of all things,
01:38 or the king of all animals.
01:41 There has been a famous movie dedicated
01:43 to the animal with a very familiar name that many of us
01:47 have seen, the lion king.
01:51 Lions live in a lot of different environments.
01:53 But the main one is the plains and the grasslands of Africa.
01:59 The distinguishing features that distinguishes the sexes
02:02 of lions is the mane.
02:04 The lioness has no mane.
02:07 The mane makes the male appear larger
02:09 and can be used to intimidate opponents
02:12 or to impress prospective mates.
02:15 The average male lion weighs about 180 kilograms,
02:19 while the average female lion weighs about 130 kilograms.
02:24 The heaviest lion ever recorded had a body weight
02:27 of up to 375 kilograms.
02:30 The lion is a species with an extremely rich and unique life.
02:34 They usually open two to three hours of hunting
02:37 and 20 hours a day, serving to rest and relax.
02:41 They often hunt at dawn and after dusk.
02:45 The rest, they just spend time with their families
02:48 and perform social activities with their fellow lions.
02:52 On average, they will spend up to 50 minutes a day eating
02:55 and about two hours just walking.
02:58 Lions are also known to be one of the most social species.
03:02 They live together in larger herds of 15 to 40 members.
03:07 The larger the herd, the greater the strength and number
03:10 of males, in addition to loud, small roars or rumbling
03:14 their heads together as an act of bonding
03:17 and spreading the family scent.
03:19 Although they can live without water for up to four days,
03:22 but they must eat.
03:24 The lion's food includes wildebeest, zebra, giraffe,
03:28 buffalo, and even elephants.
03:31 An adult lion needs about 10 to 15 pounds of meat per day.
03:35 So hunting prey is considered an extremely important activity
03:38 for lions.
03:40 It may sound unbelievable, but the lionesses
03:43 do most of the hunting.
03:45 We are easily attracted by the male lion's power demeanor.
03:48 However, 85% of female lions take the care of hunting.
03:53 The males will be responsible for defending the pack
03:56 and territory against the rival swarms or other predators.
04:01 The hippo.
04:02 Hippos are the third largest land mammal today,
04:05 after elephants and rhinos.
04:07 They have an average length of 3.3 to 5 meters.
04:12 The average female weighs about 1,400 kilograms,
04:16 while the male can weigh between 1,600 to 4,500 kilograms.
04:23 They are half aquatic, half terrestrial,
04:26 inhabiting rivers, lakes, and mangrove swamps in Africa,
04:31 where water is abundant because they spend most of their time
04:34 in the water to keep their skin cool and wet.
04:38 They can spend up to 16 hours a day in the water.
04:41 And just like lions, hippos are social creatures.
04:45 They live in groups, and each group
04:48 has from 10 to 30 members.
04:50 And there are groups of up to 200 members,
04:53 and terminates, and led by all male leaders.
04:57 Although hippos rest close together in the water,
05:00 foraging in solitary and non-terrestrial activity,
05:04 hippos are one of the most aggressive creatures
05:07 in the world, and are often viewed
05:10 as one of the most dangerous animals in Africa.
05:13 Hippos are especially aggressive when
05:15 it comes to trespassing on their territory
05:18 and touching their offspring.
05:20 That is why it is very easy for the aborigines in Africa
05:24 to lose their lives when they accidentally
05:26 invade the territory of the hippopotamus.
05:29 They will chase them, drag them into the lagoon,
05:33 bite their boats, and possibly bite their heads off.
05:36 As Africa's fiercest animal, the hippo's jaw
05:39 can crush one or two crocodiles about three meters long.
05:44 Their ferocity is stronger than any other large animal,
05:48 with sharp teeth, with the power of a large sledgehammer.
05:51 The lion versus the hippo fight.
05:56 Who will win?
05:57 In a beautiful forest in Africa, many animals live together.
06:06 Although they do not always agree
06:08 on the division of territory.
06:10 In perception, each child knows where he or she should live,
06:14 which species should be near and avoided,
06:17 and who should be considered friends and who enemies.
06:22 The most famous in the forest is the lion, the strongest
06:26 that can cause death.
06:28 A species that can live without drinking water for a few days,
06:31 but absolutely cannot go without food.
06:34 The adult lions in the herd also have times
06:37 when they have to compete for food.
06:39 They compete for food with the members of the herd.
06:43 This is the mother lion and her cubs.
06:45 In the dry season, the food source is very scarce.
06:49 And the herbivores have migrated to other lands
06:52 in search of food.
06:54 The lion mother, having won nothing,
06:57 gave up and went to find food for her cubs.
07:00 She wanted food, and the mother was forced to cross the river
07:04 and pass her herd of ferocious hippos, swimming, bathing,
07:08 and playing in the water.
07:11 Leaving her cubs behind, the lion mother
07:13 decided to go and bet everything.
07:17 It can cost its life, although crossing
07:19 the territory of the hippo is extremely dangerous.
07:23 In the river, the great hippos are still there.
07:27 At any moment, they can open their big mouth
07:30 and mercilessly bite the trespassers of the territory.
07:34 Because the small cubs' force is to cross the river
07:37 towards the prey that has already crossed the river,
07:41 it immediately-- the hippos noticed the stranger
07:44 and alerted everyone else in the herd.
07:47 There was a chance, and the lion mother was forced to return.
07:51 However, hippos are herbivores, and during the day,
07:55 they soak in the water, and at night,
07:58 they come ashore to eat the grass.
08:01 A hippopotamus wanders ashore in search of food.
08:04 It walked carefree without knowing that there
08:07 were sharp eyes watching it.
08:10 Rarely do lions see other lions hunting at night, like this.
08:15 The scarcity of food prompted it,
08:18 and they discovered that the hippo--
08:20 and in the grass, the lions are approaching the target.
08:24 While the hippo was eating, without defense,
08:27 the lions rushed in to attack.
08:29 Realizing that being surrounded, the hippopotamus
08:33 plunged his head and ran.
08:36 The lions also decided not to forgive
08:39 and determined to chase and kill.
08:41 At the river's edge, the lions stopped
08:44 because the hippo quickly jumped into the water,
08:46 returning to its territory, and perhaps partly
08:49 because the lion was too hungry.
08:53 In another situation, the hippo caught the eye of the lion
08:57 and gently closed to the prey.
09:00 And when the opportunity came, the lion
09:02 immediately rushed to attack the opponent,
09:04 causing the hippo to run away.
09:07 In a quick and precise bite, attacked by the lion
09:10 in a dangerous place, the hippo immediately
09:13 collapsed with many fatal blows on the hippo's body,
09:16 and it quickly became a lugar of meal for the lions.
09:21 No luck for the hippo this time.
09:25 In the natural world, wars take place every day and every hour
09:30 because that is the law of nature.
09:32 Whoever is stronger, that person can survive and develop
09:36 for a longer time.
09:39 Every event that happens is unpredictable.
09:42 Therefore, each living being needs
09:44 to constantly try to change, develop, and adapt
09:48 to each step of life's transformation.
09:51 Hopefully with the information shared in this video above,
09:53 you will have more understanding
09:55 about the world of all species.
09:57 There are many mysteries waiting for us to discover ahead.
