Chaos at the Waterhole

Season 43 Episode 12 | 3m 16s

It's extremely rare for crocodiles and hippos to mingle so closely, but extreme drought forces the animals to behave abnormally. As crocodiles and hippos crowd one of the few remaining waterholes, chaos erupts and threatens the life of a baby hippo.
