A heavyweight knockout

A heavyweight knockout: Angry bull elephant sends mother hippo flying...

When you weigh 1.5 tonnes, it must be strange to find yourself cast in the role of the plucky under-hippo.

But this brave mother met more than her match when she went up against a bull elephant to protect her baby.

Her tusked tormentor seemed to have a smile of contempt on his lips as he lifted her up with his trunk and flipped her into the air.

But as she hit the deck like a beaten boxer, she was scenting victory… because her vulnerable calf had been given the time it needed to scamper away to safety.
