Hippo eatin a zebra !!!

*images.thesun.co.uk/picture/0,,2007030568,00.jpg

THIS is the terrifying moment a hippopotamus drags a zebra to its death — the first time an attack has been caught on film. A BBC1 crew captured the incident and recorded the enormous hippo ripping its helpless prey apart with its massive jaws.
David Breed, a wildlife guide working with the crew in Kenya, said: “I’ve only seen hippos kill wildebeest at river crossings five times in 20 years. I have heard stories about hippo attacks on zebra, but I’ve never seen one.”
The footage will be shown on BBC1 at 7pm tomorrow during the final episode of the series Trek — Spy On The Wildebeest.

hm.... maybe herbivores can EAT flesh, but can't digest it.

Well i think this got to do with global warming. Animals are not getting food to eat.

So if herbivorous animals is carnivorous then the carnivorous is herbivorous?.

His doctor must have told him(hippo) to change his diet. Too bad for the zebra. Lucky for the BBC guys his doctor didn't tell him to feast on the 'tasty humans'.

Are Hippos herbivorous?

Watch out for "The Dark Side of Hippos" on National Geographic. Prepare to get shocked! Don't say I didn't warn you.
