An old, battle-scarred hippo bull – once a king among the hippos in Zambia’s Luangwa Valley – has an incredible story to tell. It’s a story normally hidden from human eyes and almost always misunderstood, because a hippo’s secret life happens beneath the water and under cover of darkness. Follow the life of the “Hippo King,” and discover the true character of one of Earth’s largest land mammals.
You can stream Hippo King on PBS Documentaries Amazon Channel and Hoopla. It is also available to rent or buy on Amazon Video and Amazon Video.
Hippo King was directed by Lianne Steenkamp.
Hippo King runs for 53min, and was released in 2022.
