This year the low river will be the least of their worries: An unseen killer is waiting to attack. The congested river and extreme circumstances provide the perfect conditions for an Anthrax epidemic to strike.

This season a young mother and her calf and two brothers must negotiate these terrible odds and try to survive this...Hippo Hell. 每年的前半年，位于赞比亚的卢安瓜河谷都是一片郁郁葱葱；但是随着气温的升高，到了旱季，那里就会出现炙热干涸的景象。然而这个旱季与往年不同，对于生活在这里的世界上最大的河马群来说，阳光是这个旱季最小的问题，因为潜伏在暗处的安静的杀手，将会对它们的生存带来最大的挑战。
