Description: This extraordinary footage documents, for the first time in recorded history, the birth of a baby hippo in the wild. Shot in Masai Mara Kenya (September 2016), viewers will find of special interest the moving introduction of the baby to its extended family member, waiting eagerly on the bank as the mother gives birth. During this breath taking scene, a mother fights to keep her baby alive from two crocodiles lurking nearby. |
