00:00 The heat is overwhelming.

00:06 Hippos can't sweat, but they do secrete a thick oily reddish fluid.

00:17 This acts as a sunscreen, but he still needs to drink.

00:26 Water holes are dangerous traps for thirsty enemies.

00:30 This one is staked out by lions.

00:36 He's dying of thirst, but he stands firm.

00:54 With a deft and agile maneuver, the hippopotamus deftly evaded the lion's predatory onslaught.

01:05 At night, they're hunger for a meal driving them forward.

01:12 As they spotted the same hippo, they saw their chance and lunged forward with fierce determination.

01:20 But the hippo was not an easy prey.

01:29 With one strike, he could crush a lion's skull.

01:40 The lions attacked fiercely, clawing, scratching, and biting in an attempt to inflict enough

01:45 cuts to bring the hippo down.

01:55 Despite the lion's best efforts, the hippo finally managed to escape, his strength and

02:01 determination keeping him alive.

02:12 In a few hours, it'll be morning.

02:15 The hippo from last night's lion attack is still not back in the river.

02:21 It escaped the lions, but is badly injured.

02:25 The lioness's teeth and claws have done serious damage.

02:34 Oxpeckers are ordinarily so useful, and the removal of blood-sucking parasites are actually

02:40 vampires.

02:45 Now, they feed directly on the hippo's blood.

02:49 It needs to get to deep water soon.

02:56 As midday approaches and the temperatures rise, the hippo's chances fall.

03:06 Just feet from the water's edge, the hippo can go no further.

03:20 Having parasites removed does the hippos a favor.

03:26 But oxpeckers don't stop there.

03:31 They intentionally keep wounds open, feeding on living flesh.
