For a dominant hippo bull, his territory is his empire. By day he languishes confidently in his watery river habitat.
He's aggressive and territorial and his rule is indisputable. But by night, dark forces grip the land and control slips to the predators.

To get to their grazing lands they must leave the safety of the river and run the gauntlet of the flesh-eaters.
