The video discusses a conflict between two male hippos in South Africa's ISSI Mangaliso Wetland Park. Hippos are known for their short tempers, and when vocal intimidation fails, they resort to physical fights. The dominant male attacks a younger bull, lifting and pushing him underwater to assert dominance. Tensions are high due to the presence of three baby hippos, as younger bulls sometimes kill new arrivals. The younger male is severely injured and has not been seen since.
