Hippo: Wild Feast Live - Season 1 Episode 4 Day 3
A mass of vultures is now on the hippo. Crocodiles and hyenas managed to break into the carcass last night by tugging at the front leg. The vultures are now largely congregating around the stump where they can reach inside the body to feed. The hippo has begun to deflate as gases and fluids seep out into the surrounding area. Oxygen entering the body will help maggots and other larvae on the inside. The smell coming from the carcass will get stronger.
