The rotund animal chased the crocodile away and is then seen  guarding the gnu and at one point nudges the animal to move it out of  harm's way.Hippos are largely herbivorous creatures and after  the brave hippopotamus stepped in to save the day the antelope managed  to escape to safety. The jaw dropping moment stunned onlookers and was captured by Israeli  photographer Vadim Onishchenko who was on safari in Masai Mara, Kenya.Mr  Onishchenko said: "It was an incredible moment, the hippo actually  tried to push it out of the water and then guarded the gnu to prevent  the crocs getting close. "I have heard of cases where the animals  instinct is to protect the other species, I think the hippos parental  instincts took over."The hippos are probably the only animal not  afraid of the crocs and I would even say the hippo is the only animal  the crocodiles are afraid of." The 34-year-old said that the gnu seemed in shock after being targeted by the crocodile but it seemed uninjured.Mr  Onishchenko added: "Even our safari guide was stunned by the hippos  behaviour, he said he had never seen anything like it before."It was certainly an unforgettable moment, I feel honoured to have seen such a spectacle." <img src="http://img691.imageshack.us/img691/1230/ri5n.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/4867/dwux.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/1337/9hx5.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/3876/xnac.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/6775/y87j.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://img59.imageshack.us/img59/374/4jbv.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/9426/io7o.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://img823.imageshack.us/img823/6523/5acj.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/3133/5z8m.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/6159/tydw.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> <img src="http://img27.imageshack.us/img27/7857/hbhs.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> </blockquote>
