The crocodile made several attempts at escape but the curious mammal continued to give chase. Crocodiles often prey on hippo calves but the reptile did not show any signs of predation nor did it fight back. The reluctant playmate eventually made its way to a herd of elephants that scared away the young hippo.
They are extremely pretty and really cute, like little angels, I am more than happy to witness these sorts of animals playing and getting along well. They are the only 2 animals that are able to coexist together due to the strength and heaviness of the hippopotamus, they have no problems with crocodiles who are roughly equal in heaviness and strength.
