  1.  @Ompadidthabeat  yes, they will. any time someone reports a video as being graphically violent, youtube tags and demonetizes it. advertisers insist on this. the uploader can appeal if they wish, blur out the parts of the image that were tagged, or add a pre-screen warning, but that has to be arranged with youtube.
    628
  2. Jesus, who the hell are you people marrying??
    106
  3. No,the stallion did for the good of himself. Wasn't his baby. Not uncommon in situations where a male can dominate many females. Lions do it too.
    92
  4. or just boring... which is why you don't see people videoing it and uploading it to youtube.
    88
  5. I think those crocs must have been grossly overfed already. They didn't really seem to care all that much.
    79
  6. yes, it was completely torn apart. opportunist fish eagle spotted a piece and grabbed it right at the end.
    63
  7. maybe this will teach you not to anthropomorphize animals? just a thought.
    48
  8.  @artorias89  it would be tough to save a HUMAN that happened to, let alone a wild giraffe.
    46
  9. Exactly. I don't know what the op was thinking, but there was nothing out of the ordinary here.
    45
  10. Warthog: "Better you than me, pal!"
    38
  11.  @jsmiller0605  "Naw thats like living in a liberal city" says the dude who has never even visited one.
    31
  12. sigh 'tis true, 'tis true.
    24
  13. in lions, the females do well over 90% of the hunting. imagine that.
    18
  14. Look up civet coffee
    16
  15. Civets are common and were identified over 100 years ago.
    16
  16.  @symbiohse  "Did you hear the crushing of the hyena's neck?" "Do you still hear the screaming of the lambs, Clarisse?"
    16
  17. baboons did not even touch the leopard. Leopard knew the baboon was dead, why stick around and risk injury? eventually, the troop will get bored and wander on, then the leopard can come back and pick up its kill.
    16
  18. only way the mamba could get its fangs to penetrate would be if he bit it on the tongue. don't think the croc gave it that chance.
    16
  19. I'm convinced they do this specifically to troll Dutti. ...and I'm ok with that.
    15
  20. Bullsharks. they are euryhaline, which means they can move back and forth between salt and fresh water. Bullsharks are not uncommon in African rivers and have their own kill records on humans. not as many as hippos, but not insignificant either. They used to be classified as their own species: "Zambezi shark" until scientists realized they actually were bullsharks that swam up rivers and into lakes.
    13
  21. this video demonstrates the need for MUCH stricter rules on how close the guests should be allowed to get to the wildlife. that photographer might as well have shot that snake in the head themselves. they are 100% responsible for what happened there.
    12
  22. nope, neither the leopard or that young male lion wanted anything to do with that water buffalo mama. buffalo 2 : kitties 0.
    12
  23. Look up civet coffee
    12
  24.  @prehistoriccreature1800  wrong again, as you always are, in every post you comment on... ever. it's quite remarkable really.
    10
  25. The difference is that the big cats kill first via strangulation. The dogs eat their prey alive, killing it usually by exsanguination
    9
  26. yup. got away from the first croc, missed the second.
    9
  27.  Based_Gigachad_001  no, they are not. the very concept of good and evil was invented by humans. stop with your nonsense.
    9
  28. you have zero idea what you are talking about. it's the females that do 90% of the hunting. learn something.
    9
  29. Depends on the species of bat. Flying foxes cannot take off from the ground
    9
  30. We get another video for the channel.
    8
  31. except totally different. I mean really, all these comments suggest that the people watching this video are COMPLETELY ignorant of how lions actually DO behave. jesus, read a book eh?
    8
  32.  @88tylor  he's lying. stop encouraging his nonsense.
    8
  33. "regret" if you define it very loosely maybe. and no, the rhino did not care he was being laughed at. he has ZERO comprehension of what laughter even is.
    8
  34. Dutti, how many times must you get banned before you get a clue?
    7
  35.  @rumination2399  dutti is certainly laughable alrighty.
    7
  36.  @donderstorm1845  correct. Dutti is completely delusional. should be banned for constantly spreading misinformation. so tiresome.
    6
  37.  @ziggyfrnds  dutti was lying. so take that for what it's worth (nothing).
    6
  38.  @delusionseems2bthenestbarc449  you are aptly nymed. stop being so defensive and just embrace your insanity, m'kay?
    6
  39.  @TheBooban  got away from the first croc and thought it was in the clear. oops.
    5
  40.  @Crocutaalpha  2 examples of your delusional conclusions you mean. You're like the guy who quotemines everybody, while everybody laughs at you.
    5
  41. This was clearly intended to be an advertisement for Red Bull, but went seriously wrong.
    5
  42.  @JamesMichael333  Not true at all. most snakes see in both the blue and green spectra, and some, like sea snakes, can also see oranges and reds.
    5
  43. "evil" does not apply. it is an entirely human concept.
    5
  44. Impala vs croc: Boss music plays Impala wins: Boss music still playing...
    5
  45. it doesn't say because it was pretty obvious.
    5
  46. yup, 100% the cameraman getting too close that caused that python's death. this place needs MUCH stricter rules.
    5
  47. terrible behavior on the part of the tourists. I would have hoped they were told NOT to interfere with what they see, but apparently not.
    5
  48. That sounds very ignorant.
    5
  49.  @AzayzaYiseverywhere  nobody cares what you hear in the video. they care that they were THERE, that's what they care about. I can also tell you for free that nobody cares that you don't like to hear people's reactions to things on a video that has nothing to do with you.
    5
  50. That's not how this works
    5
  51. evidently being a childish tourist with money is all the people running the reserve care about any more.
    5
  52.  @Adam-im3uz  you first.
    4
  53.  @278steve  sorry, but your reasoning is all wrong. interfering like those idiots did is just as like to distract the cat as the hyenas. and also... you have NO idea of the relative population sizes of leopards vs hyenas in that reserve, but you want to pretend knowing they are endangered in fucking RUSSIA has meaning. you fail. just stop.
    4
  54. it's catching that ON CAMERA that is the epic part. duh.
    4
  55. it's the circle of liiifffeee...
    4
  56.  @maridiancrest243  but it was the big one that let it go first. that one easily could have carried on and torn that wildebeest apart. it did not. just let it go. I don't doubt the water levels are low right now, but that is not the entire explanation. Plus, I have seen large crocs hunting even OUT of the water entirely so...
    4
  57.  @ariforu4  correct. looks like they stole this one.
    4
  58. why do the park rangers let people get so damn close. it's stupid in every possible way. not good for the lions, not good for the people.
    4
  59.  @MrAtrox98  not necessarily. homosexuality is as common in most other species as it is in our own.
    4
  60. Cheetah have existed for tens of thousands of years just as you see them. Obviously, their style of hunting works fine
    4
  61. Now Google civet coffee.
    4
  62. Dumbest comment.
    4
  63. 🙄
    4
  64. Hilarious how much anthropomorphic debate was had in this thread
    4
  65.  @vicmackey4606  nonsense. complete and utter twaddle.
    3
  66. yeah, that looks about right.
    3
  67.  @mrapic6886  nope. That's a bullshark. they move between fresh/salt water and are not uncommonly found having swum up African rivers and lakes. also known for attacking people in rivers in Africa. no glitch.
    3
  68. interesting way of "eating" there....
    3
  69. those are bullsharks. they're euryhaline, which means they can move easily between salt and fresh water. they are quite common in African rivers and lakes. many recorded attacks on humans in African rivers as well. in this case, the most likely scenario is that the sharks are hunting the fish that hang around the hippos and eat their poop. ah, the circle of life. so beautiful. :)
    3
  70. this is what I was thinking too. experienced leopard.
    3
  71. nope. ALL cats scent mark. they have a scent gland in their cheeks that produces the scent they mark when they rub their heads on things. including housecats. that's why kitty likes to have their cheeks scratched. really really.
    3
  72. large animals are attacked where the skin is the thinnest. and that is around the tail area. easier to make the prey bleed out.
    3
  73.  @guinnessharvey4476  if it were true that male lions never hunt... there wouldn't be any male lions.
    3
  74. they are not supposed to. no interference is the rule in a wildlife reserve.
    3
  75.  @donderstorm1845  the venom is just another protein, and is immediately denatured by the acids in any stomach, let a lone a croc, which has even stronger stomach acid.
    3
  76. No such thing as devils
    3
  77. it was dead by the time the video started, but the elephant demonstrated repeatedly how the croc GOT dead during the vid.
    3
  78. Just like in the myth of how the elephant got its trunk! seriously dumb croc though. lucky to be alive.
    3
  79. more likely that they just happened to be more pissed off atm at the thing they decided to chase.
    3
  80. tongue?
    3
  81.  @TheMightyN  Look up "Zambezi shark" you will find that is actually a bull shark.. that swims up rivers in Africa. stop pretending you know things you don't.
    3
  82. Dutti is back in a sock puppet. Still spreading misinformation.
    3
  83. it is probably a wildlife overpass specifically built to allow wildlife to pass over busy roads.
    3
  84.  @maridiancrest243  "If it were a bigger crocodile" uh, look again. the first croc that attacked was quite large. more than large enough to handle that beest on its own, even OUT of the water.
    3
  85. there were no females in this video. both hippos and both lions were male.
    3
  86. I have seen adult rabbits kill rattlesnakes and cats. they can fight plenty. this one was just a baby.
    3
  87. hint: he's always angry.
    3
  88.  @calvinm1866  yup. it's over a year old, and they stole it from a different channel. not the firs time they have done that either.
    3
  89. she broke... all of it.
    3
  90. So... you somehow think all vaccine donations are only from white people? Interesting.
    3
  91.  @prehistoriccreature1800  Jesus fucking christ WILL YOU STFU??
    2
  92.  @metalage9751  he's completely over the edge man. He needs help.
    2
  93. elephants. have been for the last 10 thousand years at least.
    2
  94.  @kovy689  no.
    2
  95. I really do not understand why people would spend thousands of dollars to go there to see wildlife... and then try to film it on their fucking cell phones. should be a crime.
    2
  96. old age is the leading cause of death of most people... everywhere. people are the second biggest cause of death of most people in Africa. followed closely by mosquitos.
    2
  97. Pythons do not posess venom.
    2
  98.  @missuszad  it's a reference to a song.
    2
  99. "Like a bridge over troubled monkeys...lions lay me down."
    2
  100. it was fine. they photographed it two weeks later.
    2
  101. OTOH, I have seen adult rabbits kill cats and rattlesnakes so...
    2
  102.  M. Denz  well, that's a serious case of whataboutism. your reason... fails you. completely. soooo many idiots in this comment section. sad to see it.
    2
  103. your god steps in on a whim to save a particular wildebeest for absolutely zero reason. Uh huh. are you a child?
    2
  104. it didn't. pretty sure the warthog grabbed the afterbirth from a newborn calf.
    2
  105.  @PestilentAllosaurus  "I think it's more because Leopards are more of a threatened species than spotted hyenas. " nope, you are very wrong. most humans generally hate hyenas because they aren't cute. that's it. they know nothing about them really.
    2
  106. Nope. Grow up.
    2
  107.  @Adam-im3uz  not every hippo is either. but YOU seem quite aggressive. How about we get rid of you first, eh?
    2
  108.  @outofturn331  sorry to have to explain this to you, but this person was making a very ignorant and unfunny racist joke. without of course realizing... THEY are the joke.
    2
  109.  @stormy6499  nobody should be able to tell me, an adult, what I can and can't watch. it should be MY choice. not yours.
    2
  110. if you believe this, you will live a very lonely life.
    2
  111. females are regularly MORE aggressive than males, especially when protecting young. Males tend to get aggressive only during breeding season. looks fair size if female. might either just not have tusks (happens, all african elephants usually have tusks, but rarely females don't) or the tusks may have been removed by a ranger to prevent poaching.
    2
  112. gruesome.
    2
  113. You keep thinking that if you want. Every species studied so far appears to have about the same relative percentage of homosexuals in it as ours does.
    2
  114.  @Raphael16045  yup.
    2
  115. You all need to explore more.
    2
  116.  Songs of the Lord  there is no heaven, nor hell. terrible inventions of petty minds.
    2
  117. Their paws? Probably. I would not bet against them being able to break it with their teeth though.
    2
  118.  @Nicolas-wx6jw  yes they do.
    2
  119. It's a wildlife park. The thing they must NOT do is interfere.
    2
  120. do you actually think the hyenas understand english? LOL
    2
  121. nobody wants YOU, period. don't bother.
    2
  122. more like... unlucky croc.
    2
  123. Somebody is projecting their misogyny ^
    2
  124. stop encouraging bad behavior.
    2
  125. Biting its head off was just "rough play" 😜
    2
  126. they literally are not supposed to interfere. it's a wildlife reserve.
    2
  127. It was dead regardless
    2
  128.  @HymanHitlerstein  "raided by the recently formed "Dirt Nap Covid & Cancer Association". Between you and me, I've been told their annual meetings are REALLY BORING." ...but the parties are to die for!
    2
  129. it's a reserve. part of the rules is that nobody gets to interfere with the animals, period.
    2
  130. ..or respect for the balance of nature in the wildlife reserve. which apparently you do not. I wonder what you would say when the rabbits overpopulate the park and everything else starts dying?
    2
  131. Leopards. You can find a single leopard killing one just a few vids before this one.
    2
  132. in this case, the most likely scenario is that the sharks are hunting the fish that hang around the hippos and eat their poop. ah, the circle of life. so beautiful. :)
    2
  133. mostly these tours have gone on for so long, the local animals have become habituated to them. Still, it's hard not to argue for a little distance both for the safety of the humans and the animals.
    2
  134. it's not youtube's fault either. if people complain about a video, youtube tags it for demonetization. the uploader can challenge demonetization if they want to, or work with youtube to add a buffer screen.
    2
  135. No. All vids on this channel are from Africa
    2
  136.  @Latestsightings  that's not a good enough answer. at all. and you know it.
    2
  137. Borg ^
    2
  138. well, technically mosquitos kill more humans. even more technically... malaria.
    2
  139. yup. not really a problem for python to digest that big of a meal, though kinda unfortunate it caught it in such an open spot.
    2
  140. snake backed off because its job was done. got two good bites in early on. all it had to do was sit there, avoid the chameleon, and wait for the poison to kill it. I see this with rattlesnakes all the time. they strike, then leave to avoid taking any damage themselves. then they just track down the dead animal by smell later.
    2
  141.  @uafc1  the shark was likely hunting the fish that hang around the hippos and eat their poop. really.
    2
  142. "Lion Destroys Hyenas" Dutti Bait sighted.
    2
  143. baby did not know how to swim. drowned.
    2
  144. not a baby actually. more like a full grown duiker.
    2
  145. Hippos kill more people every year than lions and crocs combined. They are very dangerous.
    2
  146.  @Crocutaalpha  One of my profs on my PhD committee used to raise hyenas at our wildlife research center up in Strawberry Canyon (a bit uphill from UC Berkeley). They acted like little puppies every time they saw him. It was very cute. Anywho, just so you know... you never know who is watching you post misinformation about hyenas.
    2
  147.  @Hiiiiii74  "it is biologically coded." no it isn't. also? anecdotes are not data. now stfu you moron.
    2
  148. nope. lion overshadowed by hippo either way.
    2
  149. @Eldritch Postman they mostly eat grass.
    2
  150.  @tllwllwsh2713  yup. pretty much everywhere come to think of it. anyplace that supports Bullsharks in the ocean, you will find them swimming up rivers.
    2
  151.  @broadbandislife  it is rather humorous to watch. then it makes me sad that there are still so many ignorant people in the world.
    2
  152. DEEP tissue massage.
    2
  153.  @brushwolf  or maybe.. go touch grass instead.
    2
  154. amazing footage.
    2
  155. against the park rules, and for good reason.
    2
  156. yeah, fortunately for all the African predators, wildebeest aren't known for their intelligence.
    2
  157.  @nelsonw9483  hyenas are mammals at the top of the food chain... yet most humans hate them. it's fucking stupid.
    2
  158. crocodile was not still alive ;p I think that elephant was trying to invent a new dance called "The croc Stomp".
    2
  159. very
    2
  160.  @LudicrousCunningFox  not a buck that big. they will attack it from behind, and slowly make it bleed out from dozens of bite wounds, and then tear its intestines out while it is still kicking. not exactly pleasant, though by that point the buck would probably be in shock.
    2
  161. More like practice than play.
    2
  162. croc was already stomped to oblivion before we get to see the vid clip. elephant was just beating a dead... croc by that point.
    2
  163. He should have gotten kicked out of the reserve for his behavior. seriously.
    2
  164. learn something new every day. so did I! turns out they are actually more closely related to striped civets from Madagascar. If you ever saw the movie "Madagascar" about the adventures of escaped zoo animals from new york, the "foosa" on the island belong to the same family.
    2
  165.  @vedicwarriorOriginal  nah, just you.
    2
  166. Boomslangs are rear-fanged snakes, meaning that they really have to get their entire mouth on something to be able to inject venom. the Chameleon was doing a pretty good job of defending itself until it failed to turn quick enough at 0:32. the snake did a test strike there, and saw the chameleon was unable to fully turn to meet it, so then fully struck right after and managed to inject venom. Chameleon was doomed after that, the defensive bite was far too late to make a difference. Boomslangs do not inject a lot of venom, but it is VERY toxic.
    2
  167. "the lions only attack the rear of the buffalo" one, that's simply inaccurate. they also ripped a giant hole above the shoulder. two, the rear is where the skin is thinnest. the idea is to make the buffalo bleed out. just like wild dogs hunt, btw. You really don't know what you are talking about.
    2
  168. uh, that was a pretty big hippo. We have NO idea what happened that lions ended up predating upon it.
    2
  169. NO. please don't. stupid quick clips strung together like this with no context is a dime a dozen on youtube. go back to what you were doing. this kind of video absolutely fucking SUCKS!
    2
  170. they must be used to it. which tells me it happens all the time. which tells me the people who run this reserve need to be replaced.
    2
  171. Those are buffalo, not bison.
    2
  172.  @R3d3y35  very buddhist of you.
    2
  173.  @nicoctane1669  I've seen this happen myself with rattlesnakes/rabbits. if they are disturbed while eating, they will regurgitate and try to run. this was indeed 100% the person shooting the video's fault. people need to learn to keep their fucking distance when filming things.
    1
  174.  @Charzilian  "first of all, that animal is way too big for that python to eat." wrong. " Second, if it did succeed on swallowing it, and the horns didn't stab through (it would have," wrong. " it would have died anyway because it's too big of a meal." wrong. "This is a natural event," wrong. the person doing the photography got WAY too close and panicked the snake. I've seen this happen myself, many times. -yours truly, an actual herpetologist.
    1
  175.  @thechaoboy3754  you're a fucking idiot.
    1
  176.  @Crocutaalpha  what's clear is that you are completely delusional and need to see a therapist.
    1
  177. is this your channel? no? yeah... stfu and let them do what they want with their own channel.
    1
  178. thinnest skin. hippos have very very thick skin in most places.

  180.  @vivianvandermerwe1380  unless you are trained to locate them, leopards are hard to spot no matter what. plus, they are usually nocturnal, making them even less likely to spot. amateurs on "safari" are not a good way to track how common a species is.
    1
  181. it did. it was the photographer that didn't think things through.

  182. Just looking for his gourmet coffee fix.

  184. uh, lions DO kill elephants. example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4nG4JsAyKY
    1
  185.  @rex_schd  " not all snake can dislocate their jaw" this is incorrect. being able to dislocate your lower jaw from the upper is in fact a distinguishing characteristic OF snakes.
    1
  186. the tour guide is not supposed to be on ANY "side". he should have been telling the tourists to shut their yaps and just take pictures.
    1
  187. I swear this place should REQUIRE the tourists to bring a proper camera. a fucking CELL PHONE? really? ugh.
    1
  188. or at least driver her out of his territory. yup. leopards are loners.
    1
  189. "vultures accumulate lots of nasty toxins and diseases in their bodies from eating putrid carcasses" actually that's a myth.
    1
  190. you need help then. suggest divorce, followed by serious therapy for you.
    1
  191. the baboons actually look pretty relaxed, not "hanging on for dear life". click bait titles do not really reflect your space, do they? if so, I'm done here.
    1
  192. disagree. the point of this channel is to display interesting behavior happening in the reserve. that is exactly what this was.
    1
  193.  @Crocutaalpha  " Don't start making things up or writing down your fantasy" ROFLMAO. projection much?
    1
  194. er, nope. lions do not hunt healthy hippos. hippos outweigh them by an order of magnitude. their claws cannot even penetrate their skin.
    1
  195. lol
    1
  196.  @shooshooshooshooshooter  they do hunt. if male lions didn't ever hunt... there would be no male lions.
    1
  197. "HIS" food? sorry, but 9/10 it's HER food, since she actually did the work catching it, and HE is the one who stole it. that's how lions work. it's primarily the females in a pride that do the hunting.
    1
  198. I'm sure the rabbit agrees.

  199.  @itsok2bwhiteendanti-whiteh548  you're living in literal denial. how is that working out for you? I can reasonably assume your entire family is on welfare.
    1
  200.  @SperoinDeo  your religion literally makes you ignore reality. how's that working out for you?
    1
  201.  @SperoinDeo  " I rejected Evolutionism solely on it scientific merit, or lack thereof" outright liar as well I see.

  202.  @SperoinDeo  1. look up "Abiogenesis: RNA world hypothesis. 2. look up the definition of evolution, see that it is not the same as abiogenesis. 3. be embarrassed at how little you actually know. finally: "Has this been replicated in a lab?" don't even know what the hell this means. you mean, has a single celled organism been created artificially? if so, yeah, it has.

  203. not in Africa, no. no Jaguars in Africa.

  204. it was a fledgling, not able to fly yet you can tell by the juvenile coloration.
    1
  205. they're actually quite intelligent. go watch them hunt.
    1
  206.  @Crocutaalpha  Dutti... get help. serious therapy. you're delusional.
    1
  207. you've been educated by Dutti. and poorly. If you want to truly educate yourself, the best way to do so is by reading actual scientific papers on the behavior of these animals.
    1
  208. broken right rear leg. probably inflicted by the mongooses earlier. also, it's just a baby.
    1
  209.  @ashdog236  it's also possible the elephant didn't see the croc and stepped on it, and the bite to the nose was the croc's reaction to getting stepped on. we will never know.
    1
  210.  @michaelthompson9119  I've done the research. hippo outguns a lion and outweighs it by up to ten times. even if lions gang up on it, they have NO WAY to pierce the skin of a live hippo. neither claws nor teeth are long enough. the hippo, otoh, can drive their teeth entirely through a lion. it's no contest.
    1
  211. Not a tumor. That is the result of a giant abcess formed because the buff had a serious and likely inevitably fatal infection. What a horrific stink that would have been when the doggos popped it. 🤮
    1
  212. humans are far more aggressive and kill way more humans per year than all other animals combined. shrug
    1
  213. hippos outweigh a lion by nearly ten times. their teeth are also ten times the size of a lion's. you fail at math if you think a hippo can't kill a lion. they can, and they do.
    1
  214. fully adult leopard is still not going to fuck with a hyena.
    1
  215. it's where the hippo skin is thinnest.
    1
  216. now you know. lions scavenge as often as they hunt.
    1
  217.  @majorbriggs8876  " Can we say poison and venom are the same?" no. they literally mean two different things. and no, you can ingest snake venom as it is just a protein, and is denatured when it hits your stomach acid.
    1
  218. nah, those lions would have wrecked regardless of whether the car was there or not. remember, those tours stick close to the roads. all the animals are habituated to them by now.
    1
  219. KITTY! clearly, he just wants a scritch behind the ears.
    1
  220. ...to run away, which both that made it across promptly did. jesus, do you not understand that a hippo has TEN TIMES the mass of a lion?
    1
  221. nope. they illegally let their cattle into the reserve to begin with. fair game, literally.
    1
  222. no.
    1
  223.  @Crocutaalpha  it's like watching the sharks vs the jets. only much, much dumber.
    1
  224. nope
    1
  225. nope. that hippo is still going to outweigh and outgun them.
    1
  226.  @Lamiishere  would you just stfu already?
    1
  227. Aardwolf
    1
  228. because adult rabbits actually can fight back better than you think. I have seen them kill cats and rattlesnakes. this one was just a baby.
    1
  229.  @Crocutaalpha  delusional mofo. reported.
    1
  230. you know NOTHING about lions. it's the females that do 90% of the hunting, and the males take scraps. really really. so much projection in these threads, so little actual knowledge.
    1
  231. Wtf is wrong with you??
    1
  232. why are you here?
    1
  233. that's a good start. to wonder why a god would create a world like that. good application of critical thinking skills. keep going.
    1
  234.  @sveoo6448  anyone stupid enough to not protect themselves from mosquitos in Africa deserves what they get. hell, the entire human population in Africa has been selected BY mosquitos. where the fuck do you think sickle cell anemia came from? It's literally so common for people in Africa to die of malaria over the last 5000 plus years, that humans that DON'T have sickle cell anemia, die from malaria. How many single species do you know that literally can shape the genetics of entire human populations? and let me tell you about all the OTHER fun diseases that can come from the lowly african mosquito, including dengue fever or "bonebreaker" disease. do I need to explain why it's called that? but I'll tell you what... personally I think the MOST dangerous animal to humans is... ignorant humans.
    1
  235.  @CorneiliusLibowitz  not really. we've known about it for about 100 years now.
    1
  236. OK... I'm a vegetarian now.
    1
  237.  @tylerd8245  yes, Dutti is a hyena fanboy beyond reason and evidence. He is "Superfanboy Hyena Licker Par Excellence", and he is delusional beyond measure. About 10% of what he says is accurate, which is likely 10% less accurate than the comments somebody would make if they had never even heard of a hyena before.
    1
  238. usually all african elephants have tusks, but rarely you will find a female that simply doesn't. also, I have heard sometimes rangers will remove tusks in order to help prevent poaching, or if something is wrong with the tusks (split or infected).
    1
  239. How about this: YOU pay for a free trip for me to Africa to go on safari, and then you can tell me what to say, or not say. deal? otherwise... stfu.
    1
  240. not very many of them compared to hippos though, and they don't attack things in rivers, like hippos do. most humans are killed by hippos attacking their boats.
    1
  241. You realize you lot are insane, right?
    1
  242. no. please don't change your format to "quick clips of vicious animals and baby elephants with stupid music" I will unsub faster than you can raise a finger. DON'T DO THIS AGAIN.
    1
  243. not just you. Most dangerous vertebrate in the world, hands down. more people killed every year by hippos than by all other wild vertebrates combined (wild meaning: domestic animals probably kill the most).
    1
  244.  @brandonsantoso  nope. You literally are watching a species where the females are the dominant members of their groups... right there, in the video. so much willful ignorance.
    1
  245. angriest things alive.
    1
  246. Which is a species of stork.

  247. Not one thing you said was correct.

  248. Lion: "That's illegal!"

  249. underrated.

  250. not even king of the jungle. that's the elephant, obviously. so tired of this myth.
    1
  251. is one a goose? no. thus the plural is not geese.
    1
  252. uploader has to set that up with youtube themselves. youtube doesn't demonetize vids unless somebody complains so...
    1
  253. lol no. they run nearly 30mph on land, STILL have 3 foot long teeth, and outweigh everything but an elephant or a really big rhino. Adult hippo skin is so thick, lion teeth and claws cannot even penetrate it.
    1
  254. peak gross.
    1
  255. the randomness of predator prey interactions certainly doesn't support the idea this was all designed by a loving god now, does it.
    1
  256. no more real than Harry Potter.
    1
  257. only what we make.
    1
  258. then.. don't watch them?
    1
  259. Reason it out for yourself. What possible things might a leopard in that situation be looking for?
    1
  260. or, you know... even buy a proper camera instead of using a cell phone. :P
    1
  261. looks to me like the hyena did just fine. they pretty much got the rest of that carcass. the fall wasn't much. hyenas are a lot tougher than that.
    1
  262. You say that, but according to the description, it did survive
    1
  263.  @ziggyfrnds  "really? how do you know?" When I was in grad school, one of my PhD committee raised spotted hyenas from pups over multiple generations. Hyena behavior was his primary field of study. Nothing of what Dutti says is accurate. he is delusional.
    1
  264. because evolution hates a blind spot. nobody's fault, it's an inevitability.

  265. down with communism??? lolwut.

  266.  @btugrul  well, I know for sure YOU are definitely an idiot, if that helps.
    1
  267. always nice to see animals cooperating.
    1
  268. plants have the ability to toxify themselves, or the soil around them; strangle other plants, and even eat small prey like mice and insects. their drama just works on a slower time scale.
    1
  269. ...and that's exactly what happened.
    1
  270.  @Corvacar  what was churchill doing playing with crocs when he was supposed to be fighting? yeah... I never was impressed much with Churchill.
    1
  271. not a tortoise, a type of turtle. and I think the word you want there is "aquatic", not "marine".
    1
  272. can't tell you why it died, but when any animal dies, gasses from decomposition by bacteria will fill the body cavity. The pressure build-up can get quite large.
    1
  273. gibberish.
    1
  274. I would definitely choose the croc. especially if the water is deep. rather drown than get eaten alive any day.
    1
  275. that's why you can't be hired to manage a nature reserve.
    1
  276.  @bawydoommimtamees1564  prides can be as small as a single family unit, which it looked like this one was.
    1
  277. they can't learn nothin' if they dead.
    1
  278.  @Perfect-Sininen  "The Hippos hates crocs" nope. in fact, they usually tolerate them quite well, so long as the crocs stay in line and don't try attacking their young.
    1
  279. Admit it, you actually don't know any women.
    1
  280. pretty sure it grabbed the placenta, and that calf was a newborn.
    1
  281.  @Crocutaalpha  wtf is wrong with you? are you running a hyena strip club or something?
    1
  282. why? is it a bird? no.
    1
  283. nope. those were adult females. they did exactly what they needed to do to take down a large, dangerous prey animal. if they had tried to go for the neck, they would have gotten gored. instead, they attack its ability to escape, and just wait until shock, blood loss, and exhaustion take it down for them.
    1
  284. nope.
    1
  285. nope. plenty of sharks in African rivers.
    1
  286. when people complain to youtube about "blood and gore", and tag a specific video for review, youtube automatically demonetizes it unless the uploader challenges it and wins. don't blame youtube, blame the people who watched this vid and then complained to youtube about it. some of them are even commenting here, if you want to debate the issue with them.
    1
  287.  @Crocutaalpha  reported for harassment. again.
    1
  288. what is it with people in this comment section pretending that hyenas can understand english? are you just plain stupid, or do you all keep trying to make the same dumb joke over and over again?
    1
  289. Not this time.
    1
  290.  @jesusvillanueva439  Trump plans to offer himself up as a sex slave instead. Watch out for the Depends.

  291. nope, sorry. snake was just waiting for it to die from poison.
    1
  292. Damn hippos are nasty.

  293.  @Crocutaalpha  while you list all those supposed instances, there are just as many that go the other way. These guys have been doing battle for eons.

    1
  298. no... far, FAR worse.
    1
  299. Now look up civet coffee
    1
  300.  @PestilentAllosaurus  "They're more endangered" they aren't, actually. you simply are projecting your love of big cats over your perception of things. I'd recommend growing up a bit, you will be more useful as an actual advocate for nature that way.
    1
  301. yup. looks just like what happens when a snake gets its head run over by a car.
    1
  302. er, no. that was a group of brothers. all male lions.
    1
  303. you literally would have to spend months training a hyena to associate specific human behaviors with food. it's not that they are smart... it's, well, it's more about you...
    1
  304. true.
    1
  305. that's a good way to look at it, really.
    1
  306. I am very sad to see all these idiots interfering with what they are watching. honking their horns to try and scare the hyenas? fucking terrible behavior. they should be removed from the reserve, but apparently the people running it just don't care any more.
    1
  307. wrong.
    1
  308.  @amrwael4020  there literally is a video from just a few days before this showing a male lion screwing a female as she is right in the act of killing a leopard.
    1
  309.  @kingofthebeast4024  also, this is a reserve. they are not allowed to graze their animals there to begin with. losing one to a croc seems fair to me.
    1
  310. yawn
    1
  311. bullshark. they are common in African rivers and lakes. they can move easily between salt and fresh water. in this case, the most likely scenario is that the sharks are hunting the fish that hang around the hippos and eat their poop. ah, the circle of life. so beautiful. :)
    1
  312. It's just an acid trip put on paper. Really. Stop believing in nonsense.
    1
  313. They are common. But mostly nocturnal.
    1
  314. nope. they do not have scent glands. you are mistaking it for a different lizard.
    1
  315. they help keep important rivers from becoming swamps, for one thing. ergo, not useless. someone as ignorant as yourself, otoh... can you prove you have worth?
    1
  316. er... if you're really leaning towards psychopathy, perhaps you need some assistance??

  321. who do you nominate for sainthood then?
    1
  322. they aren't known for their intelligence.

  325.  @NightShade_Bane  I'll show equal respect: ALL the Abrahamic religions are the dumbest things ever invented.

    1
  327. demons do not exist. rejoice!
    1
  328. Looks more like how to tease a rhino until it completely exhausts itself. I don't think this is a good example of proper animal management AT ALL.
    1
  329. lol. no. stop spreading misinformation.
    1
  330.  @Crocutaalpha  I wonder when youtube will finally get around to banning you for spreading constant misinformation.
    1
  331. no, the ONLY rule in the park is not to interfere.
    1
  332. they hate you too.
    1
  333. not their fault. it is the fault of people who watch the video, then complain to youtube about it.
    1
  334.  @jpetes9046  five bucks says you don't even own any significant amount of stocks. yet, you defend the asshat whose only stated accomplishment had nothing at all to do with him, was supported by the people he was supposed to "remove from the swamp", and all the things he DID do were SEVERELY detrimental to the actual US economy, which you know fuck all about.
    1
  335. I wonder if the hippo thinks it is evil.
    1
  336. why?
    1
  337.  @sameertripathi7170  what in the f&ck is "death paralysis"? something your tweaked out neighbor told you? no such thing.

  339. nope.

    1
  341. pretty sure this channel has vids of crocs taking cheetahs at water holes.
    1
  342.  @Pitbull00000  are you an asshat? yes, yes you are.
    1
  343. man, that croc just tore that snake to pieces. literally. opportunistic fish eagle is opportunistic.
    1
  344.  @Bremsen_PCCB  no, it isn't. grow up you child.
    1
  345. everything wants to live.
    1
  346.  @ilarivaisanen  not necessarily. they tore into him pretty good, likely there is a lot of internal damage.
    1
  347.  @raivenzinc7323  lions will frequently kill leopards. they're both food and competition. leopards will also commonly kill lion cubs for the same reason.

  348. paleo diet ftw.
    1
  349. no. croc simply lost interest. probably already full of wildebeest.
    1
  350.  @Crocutaalpha  you should be banned from trolling this channel. really. you're kinda sick in the head.
    1
  351. ...well, the ones that survived were happy anyway.

  353. I hate how people like you are so goddamn stupid.
    1
  354. and if leopards had guns...
    1
  355. you got him! scroll up, and laugh.
    1
  356. it is though, because it is not supposed to be there to begin with.
    1
  357. nah.
    1
  358. it was two different crocs.
    1
  359. Looks like the hippo wanted a front row seat for this one.
    1
  360. except statistically, it's many times more likely it was the female that actually made the kill, and this was the scrap he took originally from it. so.. who is the thief?
    1
  361.  @thecrushedtwinkie6632  " There is not a hint of a shadow of a scintilla of evidence of the nonexistence of God" nice bit of burden shifting there. obvious logical fallacy is obvious.
    1
  362. that's a good question. pretty sure the cows are not supposed to be there.
    1
  363. O.o
    1
  364.  @mugster610  where in the video do you actually see any hippo swallowing chunks of meat? you don't.
    1
  365. the thinnest skin is around the anus for most animals. easiest way to break into the body cavity.
    1
  366.  @ramoth777  useless trivia.
    1
  367.  @Lamiishere  you've said that stupidity twice now. that the best you got?
    1
  368. it was fine. read the description.
    1
  369. nope. snake venom is entirely digestible. it's denatured and made just another protein by stomach acids. the only way that snake could get venom into the croc is if he somehow bit it on the tongue before it was swallowed. Seems unlikely, given the croc bit it to pieces. but yeah, snakes are not poisonous, they're fine to eat, you just have to watch out for the fangy bits in the mouth. that's the dangerous part.
    1
  370. correct, but their normal background coloration does a good job of camouflage on its own.
    1
  371. this is a nature reserve. they aren't supposed to be grazing their cattle there to begin with.
    1
  372. do you really believe that?
    1
  373. I'm pretty inured to this stuff, but that one certainly got to me. ugh.
    1
  374. horrific.
    1
  375. yup
    1
  376. uh, just because something CAN fight off a hippo, doesn't mean it is as aggressive as a hippo, or kills more people.
    1
  377.  @cintronproductions9430  in this case, the most likely scenario is that the sharks are hunting the fish that hang around the hippos and eat their poop. ah, the circle of life. so beautiful. :)
    1
  378. Uh... she bit its head off.
    1
  379. no, it's drowning. and then it finally drowned.
    1
  380. death rules all.
    1
  381. buffalo was likely in shock by that point.
    1
  382. there might be a natural hormonal response that tends to restrict peripheral blood vessels during massive Adrenalin release. would make a lot of sense.
    1
  383. look again. plenty of blood around the right side of the face and left ear of the elephant. the elephant was just a tad too large for the lion to pull off a kill here. a bit smaller, and eventually the lion might have been able to get it to fall over, then go for the neck. would have been tough, but doable. this size of elephant was a bad bet for the lion though.
    1
  384. turtles
