Angry Hippo Charges At Lion Drinking Water In Viral Video, Internet Is Stunned

"Mother & calf bond is extremely close & she is highly protective of her offspring, the lions weren't welcome at her waterhole", wrote a user.

The title ''king of the jungle'' is given to the lion for its raw power and strength but a video that is going viral on the internet will make you think otherwise. In the clip shared on Instagram an aggressive hippopotamus can be seen scaring away a lion that was drinking water from a lake. 

Shared by a page called Latest Sightings-Kruger, the clip opens to show a lion drinking water from a lake while a hippopotamus watches in silence along with its babies. Suddenly, the hippo charges towards the lion scaring it away. There were two more lions sitting at the edge of the lake who also move back some distance.

''Angry hippo charges lion drinking her home", read the caption of the post that was captured in South Africa's Kapama Private Game Reserve.
