A photographer in the Serengeti has captured spectacular footage of a group of hippos attacking a crocodile.These explosive pictures show the moment a hasty crocodile was killed after getting trapped in a maze of angry hippos.The spectacularly rare battle of the beasts was caught on camera by stunned wildlife photographer Vaclav Silha.
The 45-year-old Czech got the shock of his life after setting up his camera on the banks of the Nile river in the Serengeti National Park, Tanzania, to take snaps of a huge group of 50 hippos bathing in the river.
A colossal fight broke out between the group and a sneaky crocodile that strayed too close to a mother with calves.The unlucky crocodile’s armoured body was no match for the raging hippos – one of the most aggressive creatures in the animal kingdom that can apply several tons of pressure in a single bite.One of these pictures was originally published in the November issue of BBC Wildlife Magazine.

Very Nice Photo
Imagine the power of Hippo. Crocs are th3mselves too strong, their skin, the hardest, but see a hippo's one big bite enouhg for the great Crocodile. In the pictures one can see the helplessness of the dreaded CROC. Hippo, just one normal bite and Croc gone. Now Imagine the Power in Hipoo.Stunning. Congrats to the man who dared to take photos.
Those animals are amazing. Everybody is afraid of crocodiles but I think that you have to be more afraid of Hippo, because they are more aggressive and powerful than crocodiles and they are the number cause of dead in the rivers of Africa.
