Elephant Strolls Through A Sea Of Deadly Hippos And Doesn't Car

Elephants are kind animals who capture our thoughts and hearts. These are enormous sentient beings. Asian elephants can grow to a height of over 11 feet and weigh up to 12,000 pounds. African elephants can grow from 8 to 13 feet tall and weigh over 18,000 pounds.
They’re known to be gentle giants in the animal kingdom. You’d expect an animal so large to be quite ferocious, but elephants are quite kind-hearted and gentle.
The video at the link from 2009 shows when an elephant in Tanzania braves a swamp full of hippos that the hippo is no match for the much larger animal. That being said, hippos aren’t the daintiest creatures either.
One of the biggest mammals on Earth is the hippopotamus. Males average 3,500 to 9,920 pounds, while females weigh around 3,000 pounds. A hippo’s length ranges from 10.8 to 16.5 feet on average, and its shoulder height can reach 5.2 feet.
