The elephant outsmarts the lion
In a moment of anticipation, the elephant used its trunk to splash water at the lioness, causing the startled feline to run away into the nearby bushes quickly. Following the lioness out of frame, the elephant let out a triumphant roar, which was captured by an African trail camera and shared by Aidan Rademeyer. The video ended as the elephant retreated slightly in response to the roar of an unseen lion.
According to Latest Sightings, the lion and the elephant returned to their respective activities, perhaps with a newfound admiration for each other.
Hippo chases down speedboat
In other wildlife stories, Briefly News reported on a man in a recent viral TikTok post who even smiled while that happened to him. Hippos may seem friendly, but they can be deadly. So the man was lucky to be in a speedboat at the time.
Unlike fish or other aquatic animals, hippos do not have gills and cannot breathe underwater. Their weight, reaching up to 3300 lb (1500 kg), also makes it difficult for them to swim for long periods. However, they can float on the water's surface and hold their breath for several minutes while submerged.
