RUN! The Family That Got Too Close To A Protective Mother Hippo
RUN! THE FAMILY THAT GOT TOO CLOSE TO A PROTECTIVE MOTHER HIPPO
A day admiring the wildlife turned into a panicked run to safety for one family when they were charged by a hippo.
The tourists were admiring the view at iSimangaliso Wetland Park, St Lucia, South Africa where a group - or pod- of hippopotamus were enjoying a cooling dip in a waterhole.
But when they strayed onto the cherished grazing area of grass surrounding the water they found themselves at the business end of a disgruntled mother protecting her calf.
Photographer Avi Hirshchfield says: "It was a beautiful day and I was observing the hippos enjoying the water in the sunshine.
"I noticed a family on the other side of the waterhole moving forward trying to get a better view of the hippos. But obviously they strayed too close for the mother hippo with her young calf as she suddenly took off towards them.
"Luckily they moved very quickly as the hippo quickly decided they weren't a threat and backed off."
The unidentified family did well to react quickly as hippos can easily outrun a human, reaching 19mph (30 km/h) despite their stocky shape and short legs.
