Pursued by a pack of wild dogs, the nyala antelope rushed into the water. It thinks this is the safest place to avoid being turned into food. A hippo suddenly attacked it from behind to protect its territory, the nyala antelope had to use its sharp horns to repel the hippo, then turned back to deal with the wild dogs. The antelope continues to encounter a third enemy. While it was standing in the water, a crocodile quietly approached and opened its mouth to grab its hind leg, pulling it down. Can the nyala antelope escape or will it become a meal for predators
