Two wildlife photographers on safari in Africa last month had a terrifying encounter when they were charged at by an enormous hippo.
Bill and Linda Klipp came across a lone hippopotamus in a small watering hole while in Botswana’s Okavango Delta which did not take kindly to their presence.
“While we were expecting a short mock charge this was not the case, he came rapidly at us through the water and within seconds was out of the water rushing towards our car.”In the above video, the guide revs the engine and attempts to reverse but the hippopotamus is too fast as it opens its mouth wide open and sinks its teeth into the side of the vehicle, preventing the car from moving.
“The impact bent and dented the door, fender, windscreen frame, and mirror making the door and windscreen inoperable.”The guide keeps revving the engine and after the hippo’s third bite on the door, he finally lets go and retreats.Bill captured 49 incredible frames of the hippopotamus charging the vehicle with Linda capturing video of the scary moment on an iPhone.
