Stacey Farrell, from Heritage Tours and Safaris, filmed this interaction and told us her story:
“While we were on a hippo and crocodile safari, we spotted a small bull shark swimming close to a pod of hippos. We stopped the boat along the bank, so we could watch hippos return to the water.
Since hippos defecate in the water, this draws a lot of fish. If there are a lot of fish, it grabs the attention of the nearby sharks looking for a quick meal.
This water isn’t very clear, causing visibility to be very low. This made the shark a bit disorientated and it started swimming right into the sharks. This caused the hippos to get angry and start charging the shark. Luckily for the shark, it was much faster than the hippos and managed to swim away without serious damage.”
