https://africafreak.com/how-fast-can-a-hippo-run Wondering how fast can hippos run? These huge males definitely mean business as one chases the other along the riverbank, at full speed. Despite being the third-largest land mammal on earth, hippos can probably run faster than you (30 km/h on land). They are highly territorial animals and won't hesitate to charge anyone who stands between them and the water. Did you notice the poor croc getting out of the way towards the end? :-) This special hippo running footage was filmed in South Luangwa National Park, Zambia.

https://africafreak.com/black-wildebeest If you're wondering what a black wildebeest (or white-tailed gnu) looks like, this video is for you. Watch them up close as they walk, run, graze, drink, and go about their daily lives; exploring their natural habitat. The black wildebeest has a large head, wide nostrils and two horns that curve forward. It has a tuft of firm black hair on the muzzle, a black beard, and a long fringe running underneath the neck to the forelegs. A stiff mane on the back of the neck leads down to the defining white-colored tail. The name ‘white-tailed gnu’ developed from the distinct white tail and the Khoikhoi word for the animal, ‘gnou’. Black wildebeest are also known as swartwildebees in Afrikaans, inkonkoni in isiZulu, inqu in isiXhosa and hongonyi in Tsonga. This video features three key regions where black wildebeest thrive: Mokala National Park (South Africa), Mountain Zebra National Park (South Africa), and the Namib desert (Namibia). Black Wildebeest vs Blue Wildebeest The black wildebeest is an antelope in the genus Connochaetes, which includes two species both native to Africa. The black wildebeest or white-tailed gnu (Connochaetes gnou), and the blue wildebeest or brindled gnu (Connochaetes taurinus).

https://africafreak.com/what-sound-does-a-cheetah-make Cheetahs make a variety of different sounds including chirps, stutters, moans, hisses, growls, yelps and meows. In this short video clip, a male cheetah produces very unique chirps and stuttering noises, probably looking for a mate. Such stuttering sounds are not uncommon during the mating season, resonating almost like a stuttered bark. Or a combination between a purr and a rumbling stomach. These amazing cheetah noises were captured in the Kruger National Park, South Africa. PS: Did you spot the wary warthog? :-)
