The heartbreaking clip shows a baby hippo just about a week old getting caught in the jaws of an adult male before being dunked in the water and drowned.

With sharp teeth, the hippo weighing nearly 2 tons opened its mouth to bite the small body of the young, scratching, causing the animal’s body to be scratched and bleeding miserably. Not stopping there, after having “played” bored, it drowned the small, weak object in the water, causing the baby hippo to suffocate and die.

Weighing only about 45kg, the baby hippo is absolutely no match for the adult hippo (its age is estimated to be about 6 years old). “It only took 2 minutes to take that little animal’s life.

The whole thing takes place in front of a whole herd of hippos, including the mother of the baby hippo, but all of them are helpless before the so-called … law.
The ferocious hippo is said to have defeated the baby hippo’s father in the battle for dominance. It chased away the opponent before attacking the young.

Male hippos often kill the cubs of other males in order to mate with as many females as possible. This is because if the baby is not around and wants to suckle, the mother hippo will be ready to mate again.
