The crocodile made several attempts at escape but the curious mammal continued to give chase. Crocodiles often prey on hippo calves but the reptile did not show any signs of predation nor did it fight back. The reluctant playmate eventually made its way to a herd of elephants that scared away the young hippo.

The crocodile is afraid for its life and NatGeo is just like *"oh how cute, they're playing"*
Lizards are cold blooded reptiles you goof. It runs on instinct and does not have the same emotions as mammals.
@Luke O'Leilei Whys that funny? Hippos are top of the food chain in most of these environments. I even remember reading about how in some African region more little kids were killed by hippos than malaria or disease.
@@baller84milw it's based on size. A hippo can kill anything it can fit its jaw around. and an elephant can kill anything it can lift with its trunk or crush with 1 foot stomp. Lions can't hunt larger game without risking their own lives or ganging up on a single target.
gators can't do anything to something they can't drag underwater.
Right, they should've intervened lol
Elephants are like that big, quiet, gentle kid in class who doesn't bother anyone but if things go chaotic they get up and REGULATE
Imagine being so boss you can "play" with a crocodile!
@Heh Ndje lol right
Why are you describing Australians?
Im playing in the congress
Hippos can literally throw alligators/crocodiles around
Hippos cause more deaths in Africa than any other animal. It's not even close
You know you’re a boss when your kid f’s around with crocodiles during play time.
Well they sure got scared by the elephants
Maybe true until the elephants show up... Guess it’s true what they say: SizeDoesMatter
@@jet9927 ggf
Crocs are scared of hippos and hippos scared of elephants
@@ghost3337 and Elephants are afraid of Crocs it's like a fear cycle.
Hippo: "Lets play!
Croc: "No thanks, im tired".
Hippo: "I wasnt asking"
Elephant: "No means NO! >:("
The elephants basically smacked a child ngl
This brought such a big smile to my face. The people giggling, the hippo chasing the croc, and the croc being so nonchalant. Anyone else?
just remember hippos kill the most people pretty much in the world
Crocodile was annoyed cos the moment it bites the baby hippo, mama is gonna sign-off on its life insurance
Plot twist the elephant also wanted to play
😂
Nice twist!👌
Lol
if you think being trampled is fun
Hippo: Leave me alone!!
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
Why can't we be friends
SKIFFLE I bet the crocodile is thinking out of every animal the hippos ate the most annoying creature I've ever seen.
Coz the crocodile wants to be more than a friend 😏
🤣🤣🤣🤣

When you think you're the biggest badass around the watering hole, then an even bigger badass comes along.
Then an even bigger, bigger badass shows up and chases you and your momma off.
@NA and @A B to both of you 😂😂😂😂😂
Never in my life did I ever think I would see an alligator looking nervous, being a victim and having to call the big boy gang to handle the “small stuff”
😂😂😂
Alligator in Africa we dnt have gators here we only have crocodiles.. Thank you
Elephant: stop bullying that poor lizard!
Alligator: *crosses elephants off its list of food.
@@darksythe2226 they never were on that list. Every animal has a certain amount of fear and respect for Elephants. Because they either stomp you or choke you with their trunk.
@@DefinitelyNotEmma Nonsense I've seen croc's eat elephants & attack them
@@billybob-ro6qf yeah baby elephants.
@@CZcamsCommenter1st I saw a video of a large croc attach itself to the trunk of an adult elephant. The elephant was in alot of pain & kept trying to knock the croc off it's trunk, but the crock was locked on tight. Poor elephant had to stomp the croc to death to free itself. Elephant most likely will never be the same after all that trunk damage.
Hippo: Lets play!
Croco: Am I a joke to you?
Same comment in every single YT video.
Elephant: play with me 😈
😂
I'm glad to see crocie running away from hippo
@@alphabogeyman7462 crocodiles got nothing on hippos.
Hilarious. "Look, Ma! I caught me a pet lizard! He's feisty, can I keep him?"

Love how the Elephants are coming to defend the bullied crocodile 😂, they’re like “LEAVE HIM ALONE, BOTHER SOMEONE YOUR OWN SIZE”
They were protecting that baby elephant seen near the end.
@@davidc9256
Most likely. Funny thing is though, elephants have been know to protect other animals occasionally, even from their own kind. There was a story of young elephants bullying and even killing some young rhinos in a nature preserve. Some older elephants came in, saw what was going on, and put a quick stop to it.

Literally the only animal to scare away a hippo can be an elephant
Travis Walsh any animal can scare a hippo. It's just about them getting spooked. A mouse can chase elephants away seen it before Nothing to do with size it's just about the spook affect. Animals don't have understanding like humans so they can get scared of something they don't understand
Or a group of humans with spears.
Udoy Bose no they have not smh..
And my ex girlfriend
James Scharback Yes they have, hippos are very aggressive.
"Alright play time is over. WE are here. SCRAM!" - Elephant
Lol at the Elephant breaking it up and chasing away the hippo.

It's interesting how the elephants are the ones that help the crocodile out they are such beautiful creatures
Pretty sure they were more interested in the watering hole
@@Ironhold_Watch if they leave them alone, it has no effect on the watering hole. They just felt empathy. Elephants are extremely empathetic
Elephants are extremely smart and feel emotion.
An elephant funeral looks like a human funeral.
The elephants just want the bigger threat away from their water hole and young elephants.
@@bern9642 I came here from a video of an elephant trampling a baby rhino.

The music is playful and all but personally I'm more terrified of hippos than I am crocodiles
One of the very few animals that can play with a croc and live to tell about it.
Hippo found a cute little lizard to play with.
Erik Andersson true, but that is a meat eater lizard...
Tom Liu Yeah but the hippo could crush the crocodile in two if he wanted
+Elfman Strauss but crocodiles eat hippos lol so
Elfman Strauss An adult could. Idk about the young.
Jim Blanton ya know that hippos have no enemies?

@@msy7023 it was an elephant in musth
Elephants: "don't agitate the toothy thing, you crazy cat!"
But hippos aren't cats, and the hippos are more dangerous anyways.
Croc at that point in time: this is so embarrassing. 😆
and whenever I want to play with a crocodile I get sent to the hospital smh
Pyrocyncal AT LEAST u r not 6 feet underground.
6 ft Underground? More like chunks of crocodile waste at the bottom of a lake.

Whenever i play with a crocodile i end up losing something...I got one arm left....
TropiCool i even got one arm left and one arm right
Maybe it’s just me, but Wild crocodiles just never struck me as the horseplay type
a hippo can bite a croc in half and i'm sure they know it so they just have to put up with it lol
When you weight 5 times as much and can crush an alligator in your mouth I’m sure they’d look cute to you too
@@NGRevenant biggest fangirl comment I’ve ever seen in my life
@@TheInterestingInformer what weighs 5 times more than a crocodile? Don’t know what you’re going on about
Throw a horse in their river they will play plenty 😏
"I like them big, I like them chunky"
-The hippo probably
Elephants come in and go, “Will you get out of here you’re gonna get him hissed off and then we won’t be able to get a drink!”
Hippo: hey let's go do that thing
Croc: nah I'm gonna jus chill today
Elephant: guys! Guys! Get outta here the humans are filming we have a reputation to uphold!
😆
this actually makes the most sense. this is the most chill watering hole I have seen (though on youtube)
Now all I can picture is the "help me" scene with Thor and Loki in 'Ragnarok' :D
the elephants are the real bosses here
You think a elephant win a fight with a hipo?? I don't think so
@@linkinminor10 no land animal can beat a elephant. They kill hippos and rhinos when in must
The hipo has a big strong mouth, the elephant has what?? It's not just because is bigger can beat him.
@@linkinminor10 Elephants are the strongest land herbivore, no other land animal can match with him.

Lol the elephants chasing the hippo and kid away is just gold
Reminds me of James's pokemon every time they come out of their pokeball 😆
the more Elephant videos i watch, the more i think that Elephants are Guardians
They are pretty intelligent creatures.
They are the real kings!
Catch them in Musth and they are in fact the exact opposite of guardians
They protect people they like too
The last elephant video i saaw was about a phant destroying 70+ vehichles in india. He also gave a ride to greta thunberg
"It appears this predator wants to be left alone"
Elephant: I got you, homie.
We need to see more of this behavior amongst the wildlife!..
That instigator requires an investigator, and possibly a litigator, or a delegator, but definitely two elephants in an elevator.
even the croc knows not to fuck with hippos scariest animal around

What a cute toy that young hippo playing with
Everyone thinks crocodile is the big bad killer until they see a young hippo messing with one and see that the crocodile couldn't do anything to it and just when they think hippos are insane elephants show up and make the hippos run for their lives
People always seem to underestimate the herbivores. They're probably more dangerous to us then then predators, because predators are doing it for food.
Edit: For those who keep telling me that hippos are omnivores, I was not aware that they eat meat on extremely rare occasions.
And a honey badger would have taken them all out

You know you're a badass when a deadly predator with the world's strongest bite force is a source of mild amusement to you, a mere distraction from boredom.
strong bite down, weak jaw for everything else. what isnt cute when its entire combat plan is beaten by a crab holding its mouth shut
