You only see this in the wild; As stealthy as a nuclear submarine, a hungry hippo surfaces in an African river

A large hippo was pictured gliding gracefully through the water has it headed for the kill. Its 'prey' was a nearby boat full of sight-seers which quickly made off when the skipper finally spotted the creature from the deep.

Gliding for the kill hippo style

Tourist Deena Sveinsson, a commercial airline pilot, had her camera at hand and managed to capture the moment the head of a large hippo appeared camouflaged in the brown water as it chased after the boat crammed with tourists. The animal looked more like a stalking crocodile than a cumbersome hippo. The large mammal had earlier submerged itself before seemingly gliding gracefully head first out of the water. The event happened on the Chobe River in the Chobe National Park in Botswana. Hippos don’t share, especially their space!
