A hippo tried to hide from a herd of elephants as they bathed in the muddy water of Singita, Kruger National Park.

Unfortunately if an elephant can't see you, it can't exactly avoid stepping on you.

When the hippo emerged from the water to catch its breath, the elephants were somewhat startled and mostly started moving off.

Those that didn't trumpeted and charged at the hapless hippo.

Eventually the herd all left the waterhole and dust bathed about 50m from the pan.
