When it comes to the same subject, we all have different reactions. It’s understandable because everyone has their own viewpoint. Guys, this also occurs in the realm of animals.

While a newborn elephant can’t wait to chase down and dance with a swarm of birds, this baby rhino is completely enamored with them. It turns out to be both hilarious and lovely. Continue to scroll!

The young hippo was playing on its own when a small flock of oxpeckers scooped down on its back. Actually, it tolerated the birds for about 10 seconds before he wanted to get them off. However, these oxpeckers refused to leave. The funny story began!

The anxious calf yelled out for help when the oxpeckers begin pecking at its back. It was literally frightened. It tried all means to scare off unwanted passengers. “I’m not kidding. You guys stay away from me.”

The hippo fled and twisted its body, but it was ineffective. It even pretended to rush into the water to scare the birds away. Thankfully, the birds quickly abandoned their feeding attempts and flew away.

Oxpeckers and hippos, as you may know, typically have a mutually beneficial connection. By eating on ticks and other parasites, these birds aid in the removal of ticks and other parasites from hippos.

This time, though, the newborn hippo does not accept them. It considers these birds to be bothersome pests and attempts to fend them off as quickly as possible.

These hilarious moments were captured at the South Luangwa National Park in Zambia by photographer Marc Mol. He was concentrating on a pod of hippos when he saw the baby hippo running toward him with the oxpeckers on its back.

“At first, I was perplexed as to what was going on, seeing this tiny hippo sprinting towards me and the safety of the water, but then I discovered it was a little flock of Ox-peckers to blame.” “It was a lot of fun to see,” Marc Mol stated.

“When I realized I had recorded something a little odd and yet quite humorous,” he continued, “I had a good chuckle.”

Marc’s images of the infant hippo became viral once he posted them on the internet. People pity the little animal, yet they can’t quit laughing. Its facial expressions are both genuine and amusing. The oxpeckers are not greeted.
