Hippo Beach
Stephen Fry narrates a documentary about hippos, one of Africa's most dangerous animals, which spend the majority of their lives in water yet are unable to swim.
Stephen Fry narrates a documentary about hippos, the most dangerous animals in Africa and also some of the most bizarre. They spend most of their life in water, but cannot swim. They eat mainly grass, but are not afraid to challenge a lion for its share of a kill. And a three-tonne bull can charge at 30 kph. Armed with foot-long tusks, hippo bulls spend most of their time defending their stretch of river and beach against other rampaging bulls. The results are titanic, action-packed battles. But hippo lives are also full of tenderness and even comedy.
