This huge hippopotamus will be attacked by several "small" hyenas behind him, and it seems that the hippopotamus seems to be a little weak in the face of rampant hyenas, and there is no sign of resistance at all, what is going on?
A hippopotamus lies on the shallow surface of the lake and seems to be "sunbathing". But from the blood-red wound bitten by a hyena behind it, it can be seen that this is not the case.
The hippopotamus body is 2-5 meters long and weighs 1300-3200 kg, which is a veritable big guy, and the hippopotamus is short-tempered, with two huge fangs up to about 75 cm long and weighing 2-3 kg, and the adult hippopotamus even has to retreat when encountering the Nile crocodile, which is very difficult to mess with. How dare these little hyenas weighing 40-86 kg "move" hippos?
If the usual script had been followed, these hyenas who were not afraid of death would have been bitten in two by the big mouth of the hippopotamus. However, today is different, this hippopotamus has become a vulnerable group and is about to be brainlessly bullied by hyenas.
From the cracked skin of the hippopotamus from the scorching sun, it can be guessed that it has been lying here for a long time. The hippopotamus has blue-black skin and has basically no hair except for the tail. This skin is easily burned by the sun, so the surface of the hippopotamus also secretes a reddish moist substance that acts as a sunscreen. In this way, when the hippopotamus floats to the surface and briefly leaves the water to forage for food, with this "protective film", it will not be sunburned, and it can also prevent mosquito bites.
However, if you spend too long in the hot sun, the secreted red "sunscreen" will also dry up. Now the hippopotamus has been badly sunburned, but why doesn't the hippopotamus run deeper into the waters while avoiding the hyena?
This is because the hippopotamus has no strength to move its huge body, it may be too old, the previous injury has not healed, coupled with the current dry season water level drop, affected by multiple factors, the body function is seriously damaged, can no longer leave this water, can only slowly wait for death. The hyena must have smelled the near-death breath emitted by the hippopotamus, so he dared to run here without fear to "spread the wild".
As time passed, the sunlight became less hot and dazzling, but the smell of blood in the air became stronger. The hyena has a bite force of 460 kg and tears the base of the hippopotamus' tail with its strong bite force.
In the end, the hippopotamus will certainly not survive, and its physical body will provide an energy supply for up to a week to the surrounding carnivores. Dust to dust, soil to earth, everything that hippos eat in 30-40 years will be returned to nature in some form. It's just that the process of this hippopotamus' death is too cruel, and I hope it will be liberated as soon as possible. #奇妙的动物第二期 #
