Here is the terrifying moment where a hippopotamus drags a zebra to its death — the first time an attack like this has been caught on film. (w/pic)
A BBC1 crew captured the incident and recorded the enormous hippo ripping its helpless prey apart with its massive jaws.
David Breed, a wildlife guide working with the crew in Kenya, said: “I’ve only seen hippos kill wildebeest at river crossings five times in 20 years. I have heard stories about hippo attacks on zebra, but I’ve never seen one.”
The footage is part of the BBC1 final episode of the series Trek — Spy On The Wildebeest.
