    The hippos don’t actually eat dead wildebeests. We used to think they were because hippos would grab the dead ones in their mouth, but they actually just move them to shore for the vultures. The rotting carcasses aren’t good for the water and the hippos habitat, so they actually help the vultures out.

    9:20 Actually while you were on the right track, you gave the wrong reasons. A decreasing population, not an increasing one, leads to genetic issues. Diseases would increase though, you got that right. Also, all the predators, including the crocs (who are primarily predators over scavengers) would thrive. The biggest negative reason by far would be that the beasts would consistently overgraze the grasses, of which that alone would lead to an ecosystem catastrophe.

    I'm a bit confused about the thumbnail being off a zebra with its belly split open on dry grass vs the content of the wildebeest that cross this river. And it's not survival of the fittest, it's survival of the luckiest. Anyone could get trampled, even if they are strong. And anyone can get attacked by a crocodile, if they were in the wrong place, at the right time. It still is a survival struggle, regardless of how you look at it. But still, my main point, thumbnail want included. I thought there would be something about how zebras survive or what they can do to survive. Because that looked like a pregnant zebra and her belly ruptured but still has her placenta intake.
