Hippos Fight Off Hungry Birds

When water runs low during the dry season, thousands of hippos are forced to share the same pool, where tensions run high. The stress hits its peak when flocks of hungry birds attempt to use this pool as a feeding ground, getting in the way of the hippos and turning the pool into a war zone.
