00:00In the Kalahari Desert, the climate is harsh and dry.
00:03Predators hide everywhere.
00:05The red sun slowly slides toward the distant horizon.
00:08A baby hippopotamus is grazing near the edge of a lake.
00:15Suddenly, a lion bursts out from the bushes.
00:18It rushes straight toward the young hippo.
00:21The lion leaps from behind and pins the baby hippo down with its front legs.
00:25Its sharp claws and teeth hold the prey tightly.
00:27The baby hippo opens its mouth and cries out in pain.
00:31Under the lion's strength, it is almost helpless.
00:35Its breathing becomes uneven.
00:41At that moment, the mother hippo sees her calf being attacked.
00:45The massive animal rushes forward.
00:47With its huge head, it violently knocks the lion aside,
00:50sending it falling toward the edge of the lake.
00:52Without giving the lion time to recover,
00:54the mother hippo lunges forward and bites toward the lion's head in a powerful counter-attack.
00:59The lion roars in pain and rolls on the ground.
01:02Driven by instinct, the lion quickly gets back up.
01:04It jumps onto the mother hippo's back, trying to hold on and pull her down.
01:08The two massive bodies struggle in the water, splashing violently.
01:13Nearby, the baby hippo stands trembling by the shore.
01:17The red-dying hair quite falls on her face.
01:19The R estar-dying hair.
01:39Itsкую intermittently buying a Ora hippo to the breed head.
01:44Hmmmm, to theix advisors ring the
01:58The lion lies flat on the ground, breathing heavily.
02:03Its left hind leg is injured, making it difficult to stand.
02:06The mother hippo walks toward it.
02:09Without hesitation, she presses her enormous body down onto the lion.
02:13Under the crushing weight, the lion struggles again and again but cannot escape.
02:18Its breathing becomes heavier.
02:20From a distance across the grassland, I see the scene in front of me.
02:27I run quickly through the dry grass, gripping a long spear in my hand.
02:31As I approach, I shout loudly and raise the spear high.
02:34I move closer, waving the spear and shouting to drive the hippo away.
02:38Startled by the shouting and my sudden appearance, the mother hippo slowly steps back.
02:43Then she turns away from the lion and leaves.
03:01When the hippo has gone far away, I walk toward the lion.
03:05It's alright big guy, I'm here to help.
03:08Its eyes open slightly as it lets out a weak growl.
03:11I kneel down and check its wound.
03:13I gently touch its head and examine the injured leg.
03:16The wound prevents it from moving.
03:19I carry the lion back to where I live, a small mud hut nearby.
03:40Inside the hut, the glow from a charcoal fire reflects on the rough earthen walls.
03:44The space is quiet except for the crackling sound of burning wood.
03:47The lion lies on dry grass spread across the ground.
03:56I bring a bowl of water and a clean cloth.
03:59I wipe away the dirt and blood from its wound.
04:14Then I crush wild medicinal leaves in a wooden bowl and place the mixture on the injury.
04:19I wrap it with cloth.
04:30I gently stroke its mane.
04:34The lion slowly blinks and falls asleep.
04:40In the following days, I continue caring for the lion in the hut.
04:43I bring food and water to it.
04:56The lion rests on the dry grass and gradually recovers.
05:00After many days, the wound begins to heal.
05:02The lion can stand firmly and walk slowly.
05:27One morning, I lead the lion out to the grassland.
05:33I pat its head gently.
05:46The lion turns and looks at me one last time, then slowly walks away across the grassland
05:50until it disappears.
06:08Many weeks later, one late afternoon, I see a large figure appear at the edge of the grassland.
06:13The lion walks toward my hut.
06:15In its mouth, it carries a weak lion cub.
06:17It places the cub gently on the ground in front of my hut.
06:30The lion looks at me for a moment, then turns and walks away.
06:33I step forward, pick up the cub in my arms, gently stroke its head, and carry it into the hut.
06:39Shh.
06:40You'll be all right.
06:47You are safe now, little one.
07:07You'll be on your feet.
