This monkey was moments away from a hippo mauling, before it was rescued by a quick-thinking photographer. ZIMBABWE: THIS PHOTOGRAPHER was chased by an angry four-thousand-pound hippo whilst trying to save a baby monkey from its wrath. Heart stopping images showed a helpless six-pound vervet monkey stuck in the mud just three feet away from a 15-foot-long hippopotamus before a photographer used a stick to save the mammal from its predicament. Another image captured the angry hippo as it charged towards the camera with full force. The close call was shot at Mana Pools National Park, Zimbabwe by photographer Jens Cullmann (51), from Nuremberg, Germany. He used a Canon EOS-1D X with a zoom lens to capture the sticky situation. Jens snapped the cross-species stand-off for ten minutes from 30 feet away, when he then decided to rescue the monkey. @jens_cullmann/JensCullmann
