72-year-old \u00a0Mervyn Van Wyk and his wife Tokkie were on a safari in South Africa’s Kruger National Park when they caught a rare moment of animal helping animal on camera.<\/p>\n

While going down river, the couple came across a wildebeest being attacked on the shore by a crocodile. The crocodile had a hold of the wildebeest’s tail and foot and was trying to drag him back into the water. As the struggle continued onward for a few minutes, the unexpected happened.<\/p>\n

Two hippos that were down river started to come towards the crocodile and wildebeest. Clearly the hippos understood that the wildebeest was fighting for his life, so they intervened.<\/p>\n

The hippos charged and stepped on the crocodile, which forced the crocodile to let go of the wildebeest. The crocodile knows better than to try and take down a massive hippos, so the hippo’s simply turned and walked away.<\/p>\n

The wildebeest’s right back leg was greatly injured, but he is alive. You just never know what you are going to see when in the wild!<\/p>\n
