Dawn on a flooded African grassland. A hippopotamus mother and her little calf wander the shallows, nibbling at the wet grass — while a leopard watches from the long grass and edges closer, step by quiet step. When the leopard hurries in, the calf dashes straight back to Mum. She swings around, opens her enormous mouth wide and comes forward through the water — and the leopard thinks better of it, racing away across the shallows. Mum follows a few steps to see it off, then turns back, and the calf tucks in close against her side as the quiet morning begins again.
