In this amazing video a baby hippo sends a pack of wild dogs scampering away from a fortunate kudu at the Hwange National Park in Zimbabwe. The female of the antelope species was a target for the bloodthirsty mob, and had leaped into a water hole to escape their clutches. She thought she was safe as the dogs can't swim, but then found herself sharing the water with three crocodiles and three hippos. Luckily for the kudu the reptiles weren't hungry, having stolen a kill from the wild dogs two days before, while she found an unlikely ally in the baby of the three hippos who jumped out of the water and chased the dogs away. Sue-Ellen Kuhn, a guest at the park, said: 'It was the crack of dawn and we headed to the closest watering hole on safari expecting to see zebras, antelopes, giraffes, elephants leisurely drinking in silent thankfulness that they had survived the night. 'To our delight, we stumbled across an exciting dance of life and death. RELATED ARTICLES Previous 1 Next High fryers! Moment hot air balloon gets caught in...

These dogs are frenzied and vicious killers that feed on their prey before it has died. 'As wild dogs can't swim, the kudu thought that she was safe in the water but she was sadly mistaken as that watering hole was also home to three hippos and three crocodiles. 'We waited by the watering hole for three hours, all the while transfixed by the scene playing out in front of us. 'The dogs were snapping on the bank, the hippos were pushing the kudu to the edge and the crocs were lurking. 'We hoped the kudu would survive but couldn't see how with the odds so heavily stacked against her.
