Cellphone footage filmed in the Kruger National Park shows an angry hippo attack a Ford Ranger bakkie.
The video was captured by Wikus Ceronie, who was travelling home from Mozambique at the time.
“I was crossing the border from Kruger National Park when I noticed a hippo on the bridge,” he told LatestSightings.com.
“There were people walking around in the nearby vicinity so I automatically assumed this hippo was used to humans. I was quite fascinated by this so I took out my phone to start filming. Suddenly, the hippo turned and just started charging… I braced myself as I realised he wasn’t going to stop.
“He hit the bakkie head on and then tried biting it,” the 26-year-old said.
