Q:The Nile crocodile is thought to be responsible for 275 to 745 attacks on people a year, most of them fatal, making it the third-most dangerous species in Africa, after the lion and hippopotamus, according to the Crocodile Specialist Group of the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
It's not unusual for Nile crocodiles to kill huge prey such as young hippopotamuses, giraffes, lions, buffalo, and on rare occasions, humans." EQ
on rare occasions eh!
Croc attacking a baby hippo normally has a death wish. Mother hippos push their young into the midst of the croc's and the croc's normally don't touch them. Even 16 footer can easily be killed by a hippo. This from watching documentary's on the croc and hippo.
