Miracle Hippo Rescue

[EXC]

''The first ever recorded rescue of a baby zebra and wildebeest by the same hippo on the Mara River close to Lemala Mara camp.

Both were rescued within space of 10 minutes as they crossed over from the Lamai side. The photos and videos were captured by Michael Yule and other guests as they were watching a major wildebeest crossing at the time.

The hippo was watching as the wildebeest herd swam past. As soon as the calf jumped in, the hippo swam up to it and pushed it along all the way across until it had reached safety on the other side. It then went back and did the same for a zebra foal just minutes later.''

Well that's made my day, I do so love a good ending.
Bearing in mind that the Hippo is considered to be the most dangerous animal in Africa and I do believe kills more humans than any other creature there, than that is indeed is an incredible story.
