This is the amazing moment a heroic hippo saved a gnu from certain death. After being bitten by a crocodile, the large antelope is seen being dragged slowly under the water. But just in time, a nearby hippo is seen making its way across the water to help the animal in its hour of need.
The gnu struggling to get to the bank of the river is dragged back by the crocodile.
The incredible rescue happened on the Masai Mara game reserve in Kenya.
The gnu is getting weaker by the second but the hippos are closing in.
