6 African Herbivores That Eliminate Other Herbivores Almost As Much As Predators Do

If you're a herbivore then Africa is one of the hardest places to survive, as there are plenty of large predators that will happily try to take a chunk out of you, and there are other giant herbivores that you'll have to compete with. You'd assume that if you were able to mingle with the larger deadly herbivores then you'd be safe from predators, but some of Africa's herbivores will happily target other herbivores Animals in competitive ecosystems are usually more aggressive, but there are many strange an complicated reasons why herbivores will go on the attack, and sometimes even take down their own kind. In todays video we'll be travelling across the continent looking at some of the most famous examples, and we'll start off with the largest land animals on this planet.
