A throw back to one of the best sightings during our Stay@Home Safari’s series. After watching the pack of wild dogs hunt a large herd of impala and missing, they bump into a mother and calf waterbuck. After being chased into the water by the dogs, the little waterbuck managed to escape from a large pod of hippos, who were not impressed with the disturbance in their waterhole. After a few hours the wild dogs gave up and the Mother and calf waterbuck managed to escape unharmed.

    That is one badass Buck. Managed to avoid getting itself eaten by Wilddogs and Hyenas. How it manage to dodge all of the hippos attacks is interesting.

    Imagine being stuck between being torn apart by a pack of wild dogs or being crushed to death in the jaws of a hippo. Rough life.

    Incredible the waterbuck in the water: he survived many charges of the hippopotamus and still has the strength to reach the side of that small lake. And then he knows that in between he stays safe.

    Dude...the abundance of big animal species in this one area is insane

    Oh my poor Waterbuck. Such a hard and stressful life for prey in the wild. Thank you Savanna.
  • @AliHSyed
    Wow the instinct of the waterbuck to get to the edge of water.. it's brilliant. Wild dogs need to surround bigger prey to be successful.

    Man was tryna hold on for dear life from those hippos
  • @DrewWasMe
    LOL, apparently hippos are just a**holes. Great video of a hunt on waterbuck.

    I have always LOVED big cats. Cheetahs were my favorites as a child...but you cant deny the beauty of the Wild Dogs. Everything about them is graceful. They look docile and pack a punch. What amazing animals

    Incredible and astonishing how the young one escaped the attacks from the ferocious Hippo.

    Hippo be like: WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY POND!
  • @Kupferdrahtful
    4:15 it’s like in a game where ai just stops attacking you when you cross a line ^^
  • @petermosherthepoet
    Funny how the hippo goes at the impala in the water and seems to take it in its mouth, yet each time the impala is seen swimming ahead, unharmed. The hippo must be just scooting it along, like “get outta my water before I thrash ya.” Great video, keep them coming.

    I find it interesting that the waterbucks have eventually figured out these wild dogs do not do so well in water and thus always dash towards it to exploit this weakness anytime they are chased by them.
