    Spy In The Wild
    The Spy Creatures are on another extraordinary mission as they discover how friendships are a vital part of animal societies. Spy Wolf Cub joins a pack of arctic wolves, where a real cub's survival depends on friendships in one of the harshest environments in the world. Spy Cub is anointed into the pack by a she-wolf that marks him with her own scent. Spy Warthog meets some real warthogs and discovers the extraordinary relationship they have with mongoose. He even experiences the mongoose's personal grooming service as they explore every nook and cranny. Spy Hippo comes face to face with an angry hippo, before discovering their relationship below the surface with some very fishy skin clinicians. Spy Cobra meets the real meerkat mob and is quickly dispatched with a show of unified force. A walking and swimming Spy Crocodile finds the nest site of a real crocodile and reveals the extraordinary relationship they have with the tiny dikkop bird, who will not only stand up to the crocodile but joins them in a neighbourhood watch scheme against marauding monitor lizards. Spy Rattlesnake helps uncover the mysteries of prairie dogs - who have the most extraordinary and complex language in the animal world. In the colony, Spy Prairie Dog finds the cutest owls on earth and we learn how they rely upon each other for protection against coyotes.
    Welcome to BBC EARTH! The world is an amazing place full of stories, beauty and natural wonder. Here you'll find 50 years worth of entertaining and thought-provoking natural history content. Dramatic, rare, and exclusive, nature doesn't get more exciting than this.

Mas um único Leão por mais Forte que seja, não se atreve a atacar sozinho um Hipopótamo Adulto. e os Cães Selvagens Africanos " Mabecos " gosto muito deles, pois além de serem lindos são Muito adoráveis e amoraveis uns com os outros, difícilmente os Cães Selvagens Africanos brigam entre si, inclusive por comida.

      @@mbradley5683 yes, Hippos can and do sleep underwater. While they can only hold their breath for around 5 minutes, they have a built-in reflex that makes them bob up to the surface, take a breath and sink back down again without waking up. If they are in shallow waters they will just stick their nostrils out of the water.
      It's necessary for them to do so because they spend most of the night grazing since their skin could dry out in the scorching desert sun. That's why they spend the days in the water and the nights out on the shore.

    I like how spy hippo wiggles its ears then cruises off like a tour boat. Next level espionage. I was waiting for ace Ventura to pop up next to it.

      You do know whales can swim and they are larger than hippos. Swimming is not about size but technique. Also, they were clear swimming before walking underwater...

    There's clearly two Spy Hippos. One is a life size baby hippo model that can dive, and the other seems to just be a floating hippo head.
