“We were all just strolling around everywhere when suddenly my wife called me to tell me that something was going on there in the pool. I ran to get there and started filming immediately – there wasn’t even time to get the tripod set up. Luck was absolutely on my side as I was able to stand with my camera in the right place to film,” Kumar told Latest Sightings. He also added that this was an “unbelievable sighting,” and they couldn't believe that the reptile finally managed to escape after being “thrown around and bitten by the hippos”.
