The article shows nothing, no fight, no resolution.

From the way I read it, the crocs only got the already dead hippo. (Hippos are pretty bad ass themselves)

Now there's something I wouldn't mind seeing from a safe distance. There's not a magazine with high enough capacity for this vicinity.

The photo series shows a few crocs nosing around an already dead hippo, (”the crocs managed to snag one of the enormous beasts lying dead in the water”) then various other hippo photos. Nothing at all like “the remaining hippos frantically tried to make their escape up stream”.

A herd of hippos was no match for this throng of hungry crocodiles that descended upon the unsuspecting beasts at the South Luangwa National Park in Eastern Zambia.

No kidding? Whenever I see a nature documentary about hippos, they come across as some of the most dangerous, ill-tempered animals in Africa, and perfectly capable of biting a full-grown crocodile in half.

What I see in the photos are crocs surrounding an already dead, mud covered hippo that appear close to being corralled by a line of live hippos who do not seem afraid of the crocs at all. Definite wariness there.

My wife showed me a video of a panther swimming silently up behind a croc on a small island, pouncing on the reptile, biting its neck, and calmly swimming off with the beast in its mouth like a housecat with a dead mouse. One of the most incredible videos I’ve ever seen.
