Hungry hungry hippo... boo...

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.”
