Hippo: Wild Feast Live

The hippo is bloated with the gases that build up inside it because of bacteria in the digestive system. Blow flies will already have entered the carcass to lay their eggs, and frogs have been feeding on these insects. Other scavengers such as crocodiles are nearby, the team counted 56 crocodiles in the river last night. Large carnivores such as lions may try to monopolize the carcass, hyenas are unlikely to take on and drive away male lions.The webcam will be in black and white during the night when infra red cameras are used to film in the low light.
