Ambitious Leopard Attacks Newborn Hippo, Faces Furious Mom in Epic Showdown!

Peter Geraerdts, 53, was leading a tour when he spotted a hippo leading her calf – believed to only be a few days old – through South Luangwa National Park, Zambia.

Dramatic footage shows the pair closely followed by an opportunistic predator, with a leopard lunging at the legs of the baby hippo despite it only being metres behind its mother.
