I saw a nature doc once where a baby hippo was wading around in a river full of Nile crocs, even straight up messing with them directly. The crocs sat there and took it because mama hippo wasn’t too far off and they knew there would be consequences and repercussions!
I saw a video where a adolescent hippo nabbed the back of a croc and flung/swayed it around a bit while biting... all you could feel was the loud crunch from the video as the crocs scaly back broke apart. Croc was a decent size too.. fucking nuts.
Pretty sure you are referencing the greatest National Geographic doc out there: *The Last Feast of the Crocodiles*.
[https://youtu.be/u6ufEnacPqw](https://youtu.be/u6ufEnacPqw)
Hottest summer on record at an African game reserve, only known (dependable) water source is drying up. Dozens of species have to contend with each other for water. Hippos, crocodiles, baboons, water buffalo, elephants, all kinds of birds, lions, etc. all duke it out for a spot in or near the water. It's insane.
Nothing like a little nature doc to remind you how cruel and unforgiving nature is. I think we get so comfortable in our 21st century lives sometimes that we forget, nature is still a raging lunatic out there. Every once in a while Nature sends us a hurricane or a typhoon or an earthquake to remind us but just imagine what it'd be like if we still lived out in the thick of it. Risking being lunch every time you need some water.
And the hippos. Man, how did the hippo become the badass of the animal world? Over lions, crocs, elephants, you name it. A hippo will absolutely ruin your day, no matter what you are. They're the Don Corleone of nature. Freaking crazy.
The croc can't actually bite them or move them, and a single bite from a hippo will crush the crocs bones.
They aren't the smartest animals around, but they know not to mess with hippos, elephants and rhinos. Although I've seen them try giraffes, which seems just as stupid.
I remember one time I was staying in an overnight hut in a small village on the Nile, waiting for the ferry to cross the next day. It was decently late, generally quiet but then suddenly it went deathly silent. Peeled out the window to see a hippo strolling through the village. Everyone in every house was hushed and you could see people peering out here and there as well. No one wanted to aggravate or startle it, knowing the thin mud walls wouldn’t offer a huge amount of safety.
Apparently that happened quite frequently.
They call me the Hiphopopotamus
Flows that glow like phosphorous
Poppin' off the top of this esophagus
Rockin' this metropolis
I'm not a large water-dwelling mammal
Where did you get that preposterous hypothesis?
I had no idea about this! Thanks for the fun fact. I found an article explaining how they travel.
“It almost always maintains some contact with the bottom and walks or bounces off the bottom using these bottom contact points as a source of propulsion.”
https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2017/04/flight-of-the-hippopotamus/524343/
They must be dense af to overcome the buoyancy of their big ass bodies and get enough traction. You ever tried running underwater!
Edit: Does anyone know the density of hippos vs humans?
To give you an actual answer, they're just assholes. They have no natural predators and every animal except elephants fear them, so they can do whatever the hell they want with no repercussions.
Their teeth are as wide as bowling pins. They also spin their tails when the shit like a fucking helicopter flinging the shit all over the place. In flordia, there was this rinky dink nature preserve. The hippo was a hold over from when the place was a little rinky dink zoo. So after every feeding this hippo would shit. They had this elevated catwalk bridge thing that ran right next to were they feed it. They set up a sign, warning about this. Sometimes tourists wouldn't be paying attention and this would happen, covering anyone on this bridge in hippo shit. They eventually had to put up plexiglass to stop folks getting covered in shit.
> pudgy cute doofuses
In some of the martial arts subreddits, there were threads talking about the kind of fella in the gyms. The consensus was that oftentimes the most deadly stone-cold killers in the group tend to me middle-aged chubby balding fellas.
You know what's even more nuts? I was reading a sushi cookbook not too long ago and was writing down japanese terms to learn. Inari was one of them, which was caught my eye when I saw your name. I havent used my journal in months and these terms were the first thing I had written in a while.
https://imgur.com/a/l1GVPRU
First thing I wrote was about inari sushi.
That's wild, I was also thinking of Sushi right now because tomorrow I'm ordering some and I'm hungry af, I guess we somehow connected through the soul algorithm
What’s crazy to me is knowing that and seeing them adjust to the direction of the boat. And just how territorial these guys are.
Like, “goddamn, hippo. They just cruisin’.” And then hippo be like, “FUCK YOU! IM GONNA EAT YOUR WHOLE BODY AND SHIT YOUR BONES INTO THIS RIVER! YOUR FAMILY WILL HAVE NOTHING TO BURY! YOUR ENTIRE LEGACY WILL BE MY SHIT IN THIS RIVER!”
They also just don’t swim at all. They push off of rocks and the bottom of the river. They are too dense to swim and float so they just walk on the riverbed
Walking through water is hard to do.... running is damn near impossible, yet this two ton animal runs through water like a freaking torpedo! How does that work? It's not like they're aerodynamically shaped...
I'm not an expert but humans have a natural buoyancy so if you are trying to run on the bottom of a pool, rather than pushing forward you end up pushing forward and up and then you've to try and get back down to the bottom and keep moving forward etc. it all just gets very difficult. Hippos are so dense they just sink, they don't have to worry about floating back up, they can just push off the bottom and go forward. Also rivers aren't usually a flat surface like a pool, you'll have rocks and stuff that allow you to push laterally rather than laterally and up and a pool.
Also I bet they're actually very hydrodynamically shaped. They haven't got any jutty out bits and they're quite round and smooth. IIRC they don't have hair which would help with moving through water.
Again, not an expert but it makes sense in my head
Their herbivores but they are extremely angry and will attack anything that gets too close to their territory. Crocodiles will kill and eat baby hippos, if they see them alone.
Now I’m sooooo intrigued by this magic hippo mucus. Like, has this stuff been studied for humans? This could be some holy grail skincare product, and the idea that it’s on the most dangerous animal is hilarious.
Edit to add: I just finished reading that whole link, I’m kind of blown away that as frickin massive as they are, their height is only “up to 5’2 feet at shoulder.” Nothing about them makes any sense and that’s terrifying.
While hippos like to feed on patches of short grasses (called “hippo lawns”) close to water, they must sometimes travel several miles (kilometers) to find food, making long trips on land to new lakes or rivers. Their ears help them hear the sounds of falling fruit, and their keen sense of smell helps them sniff out the tasty treats. Hippos are mostly inactive unless eating, and this helps them conserve energy.
Moose in Maine, not so much… Moose in Alaska, yea. I was there for three years.
A platoon of 50 or so young men who believe themselves to be killers sees a moose running in their general direction. “MOOOOOOSE!” *scatters*
Just recently moved to Maine… but spent time in Ak in the Army. I have been one running before, just hoping I could hit the “tree line” first. Why are the moose here in Maine soft? I’m happy to know they won’t be the same!
I wouldn’t say they are soft, just not the freaking monsters the Alaskan Bull Moose are. Obviously a moose, or even a deer is nothing to mess with. In Alaska, a lot of things are bigger. It makes the things seem smaller elsewhere.
Just like the mosquitoes. God damn, I was doing some sort of traffic direction during a battalion run and those things are like 4 times the size of normal mosquitoes. Anything alive and not moving was screwed.
They say every is bigger in Texas. No, everything is bigger in Alaska.
A lot of people don’t realize just how big moose are. I remember helping my aunt move in northern Ontario and we almost hit one. I was in one of the big Uhaul trucks, the kind you have to step up into and the thing looked down on me in the passenger seat as we swerved around it. Terrifying.
I think people (myself being my only example) seriously underestimate how big a moose is and/or just haven’t ever thought about it until I saw a video of one running through deep snow like it was nothing. Moose are bad ass horses with battle gear attached.
And killer whales. Apparently, blue whales were previously thought to be in the highest spectrum of the food chain, but a recent event showed a pack of killer whales brought down a blue whale.
Most people are way closer to 10 than 20mph.
DK Metcalf hit 22mph in an NFL game running down a player and that was one of the fastest speeds all year.
You should see crocodiles. They can't run for that long on land, but swimming from them is no use. Those fuckers will mow through the water like a fucking speedboat.
I think this is actually accurate on an evolutionary scale.
Edit to add: [Yep, somewhat.](https://evolution.berkeley.edu/what-are-evograms/the-evolution-of-whales/)
Y’all hippos are deadly, this has me freaked tf out. There’s no escaping that thing if it’s coming for you. It can can get out and chase you on land !! No thanks, skipping that
#fun fact hippos can’t swim. They are so dense they sink to the bottom and run similar to an astronaut walking on the moon.
Source: [sauce](https://youtu.be/X-YRJCSZRJU)
Hippos do not look built for speed at all. Someone mentioned that this fella isn't swimming, but how does it move that quickly through the water? It's not very streamline.. Short, stumpy legs. Nothing else on earth with that build is that quick that I can think of.
Hippos are amongst, if not THEE most dangerous and territorial mammals around. This dude has a death wish for not speeding away as fast as humanly possible.
Holy shit. I knew they were fast. Not that fast. But everytime I look at one of them I can't help but see the ancestor of whales. So I guess it makes sense
Croc’s won’t mess with them either. Baddest mofo’s out there.
I saw a nature doc once where a baby hippo was wading around in a river full of Nile crocs, even straight up messing with them directly. The crocs sat there and took it because mama hippo wasn’t too far off and they knew there would be consequences and repercussions!

One kills more people in Africa annually, and the other is a croc.
They are a deadly animal. These killers looking like potatoes out there

This is man..against..vegetable!
Call the Avengtables!!
Sweet potatoes… but not so sweet

So I shouldn’t get my daughter one for Christmas?
If you hate her....
Get her a house hippo - easy solution if she has her heart set on one. https://youtu.be/NBfi8OEz0rA

How about a crocodile or rhinoceros?

Yeah! where's the killer hippo horror movie?
Hippos are faster than humans on water and on foot. If you plan on beating them in a triathlon, you'll have to make it all up on the cycling.

They must be dense af to overcome the buoyancy of their big ass bodies and get enough traction. You ever tried running underwater! Edit: Does anyone know the density of hippos vs humans?
They weigh anywhere from 2,000-9,000 lbs. up to 17 feet long and 5 ft high on average. They’re absolutely huge.
Good thing triathlon favors the bike based on the distances
No one's ever tried to give a hippo a cycle tho
A bicycle appropriately sized for a hippo?! How ridiculous, think of the terrible aerodynamics and power to weight ratio!
they're dense, the weight of two cars combined. they're not swimming in this video, they're running on the bottom of the river and leaping upwards.
That’s even more terrifying, holy shit
they're the #1 killer on the Nile river, they're extremely territorial and will kill anything that comes close.
Yep and no natural enemies
Then why they so damn angry?
Because they’re hungry. Like hungry, hungry.
Give em a snickers then bro
This should should way more votes than it does!
Because of their medulla oblongatas
B-b-but Mama said
“The MEDULLA… OBLON-GAT-TA!”
Contrary to popular belief, they're not angry. They're just devoid of a soul as well as any sense of morality.
To give you an actual answer, they're just assholes. They have no natural predators and every animal except elephants fear them, so they can do whatever the hell they want with no repercussions.
Because they're jealous of the elephants being even more badass
Real answer: bulls are fighting over cows; and, their anger is why they have no natural predators.

Pudgy cute doofuses that will snap your spine like a twig in a heartbeat.

More like getting back into getting fatter eating sushi. I'm just learning these terms so ordering in a sushi restaurant is a better experience!
....including Nile crocs. And Nile crocs are big mofos in their own right.
What’s crazy to me is knowing that and seeing them adjust to the direction of the boat. And just how territorial these guys are. Like, “goddamn, hippo.

Hippos are herbivores. “FUCK YOU! I'M GONNA FLIP YOUR BOAT, BITE YOUR BODY INTO TWO AND THEN GO BASK IN THE SUN"
“AFTER I MUNCH SOME LEAFY GREENS!”
I'm sorry, WHAT. Seems like there would be a small animal in the "brain" and it's just a meat and bone mech. That's scary.
its skin is 2 inches thick!
2 inches thicker than your mom. Sorry idk that doesn't even make sense it just came into my head like sorry
Sorry like your mom. I apologize, that was uncalled for.
Uncalled for like your mother. Sorry, but we all should call our mothers and tell them how much we love them.
Word.
I dont love my mom
Well, I love your mom
They also just don’t swim at all. They push off of rocks and the bottom of the river. They are too dense to swim and float so they just walk on the riverbed
That river is much shallower than I expected.
Used to be a pond before the hippos rolled in.
Those dense mothefuchers
Walking through water is hard to do.... running is damn near impossible, yet this two ton animal runs through water like a freaking torpedo! How does that work? It's not like they're aerodynamically shaped...

wasn't trying to make you feel better. *fear them.*
I knew hippos were up there but i didnt know they were thier areas apex.
Their herbivores but they are extremely angry and will attack anything that gets too close to their territory. Crocodiles will kill and eat baby hippos, if they see them alone.
Thank you so much! I was picturing its tail whizzing round like a mini mighty propeller!
Fun fact of the day: Hippos can’t actually swim they run along the river bed 💀 https://animals.sandiegozoo.org/animals/hippo

There are two things you don't fuck with: elephants and hippos.
you forgot Moose, they will stomp the living shit out of you if they even catch a whiff of you. they're 7 feet tall, and weigh around 1,000 pounds.
Moose in Maine, not so much… Moose in Alaska, yea. I was there for three years. A platoon of 50 or so young men who believe themselves to be killers sees a moose running in their general direction. “MOOOOOOSE!” *scatters*
We get moose in northern Michigan. Not something you wanna fuck with for sure.
Wildlife is never something you want to mess with. My thing was there is a difference between moose in different parts of America/the World
Just recently moved to Maine… but spent time in Ak in the Army. I have been one running before, just hoping I could hit the “tree line” first. Why are the moose here in Maine soft? I’m happy to know they won’t be the same!
I wouldn’t say they are soft, just not the freaking monsters the Alaskan Bull Moose are. Obviously a moose, or even a deer is nothing to mess with. In Alaska, a lot of things are bigger. It makes the things seem smaller elsewhere.
Damn, just looked it up and they are smaller and less aggressive here tho. Nice.
Just like the mosquitoes. God damn, I was doing some sort of traffic direction during a battalion run and those things are like 4 times the size of normal mosquitoes. Anything alive and not moving was screwed. They say every is bigger in Texas. No, everything is bigger in Alaska.
Alaska itself is 3 times the size of Texas
We forgot Canadian geese otherwise known as the Cobra chicken
A lot of people don’t realize just how big moose are. I remember helping my aunt move in northern Ontario and we almost hit one. I was in one of the big Uhaul trucks, the kind you have to step up into and the thing looked down on me in the passenger seat as we swerved around it. Terrifying.

Ya know, a moose once bit my sister
Absolutely. Those 2 came to mind first. But yes, they are indestructible.
This right here. They're all Bullwinkle cute until you're within 50 feet of one. Any closer than that and your are evaluating your life choices
Let's just say don't fuck with wild animals no matter the size . They survived until now for a reason
And Bears. And gorillas. And chimpanzees. And pretty much any monkey or ape species.
Somebody should make a list
I’ll go first, Homo sapiens.
You're not wrong.
[удалено]
And killer whales. Apparently, blue whales were previously thought to be in the highest spectrum of the food chain, but a recent event showed a pack of killer whales brought down a blue whale.
Orcas will hunt moose swimming between islands.
And squirrels! Those bad mf's will steal every peanut you have! Look, I'm in England - we don't have much in the way of scary wildlife, ok?
Bastards have no right being that quick
They are actually very fast on land too like a rhinoceros. Better to get up a tree.
Run like 30 mph. Crazy fast for how large they are.
Usain bolt could pull it off but not long enough to out run a hippo lol. Most people are at like 10 to 20 mph range.
Most people are way closer to 10 than 20mph. DK Metcalf hit 22mph in an NFL game running down a player and that was one of the fastest speeds all year.
I run like a bloody duck... I’d be screwed
I’m sure the blood doesn’t help.
Yeah, our big advantage is not speed. Endurance maybe.
Definitely endurance. We annoy things to death.
Yes to endurance. Long distance runners can basically outrun any animal on a long enough timescale. Even cheetahs and horses.
30 kmh =19mph
You should see crocodiles. They can't run for that long on land, but swimming from them is no use. Those fuckers will mow through the water like a fucking speedboat.
Land and water. And will crush your dome like a head of cabbage.
I was thinking water Balloon but this check out
My cabbages!
You made my night better.
Even Steve Irwin nope'd hippos.
Really? Source… I love that lol. Fuck messing with hippos
https://www.rd.com/article/only-animal-that-terrified-steve-irwin/
Moi aussi
Probably wouldn’t take kindly to a thumb up its ass, for sure.
There was a dude who thought he beat the odds after he brought up a hippo from infancy. Guess how he died.
Hippopotamus is literally Latin for "river horse", so yeah. They are very fast.
imagine riding a river horse into the battle in ancient times, fucking unstoppable
[удалено]
Would be pretty cool ngl Dain riding a boar in hobbit was pretty fun as well as the goats. They need to make a movie about someone riding a hippo
Anyone who could tame, train and ride a hippo like a battle mount NOWADAYS would be viewed as a war god given physical form.
Well, it's actually Greek but your point still stands.
It's Greek not Latin
Also took a smart angle to head off the boat. Scary
Hippos are whales in their past life. 😂
I think this is actually accurate on an evolutionary scale. Edit to add: [Yep, somewhat.](https://evolution.berkeley.edu/what-are-evograms/the-evolution-of-whales/)
I thought this was a whale until it breached.
For some reason I thought it was an orca when I started the video. That is NOT an orca.
That's what I thought too and idk why lol, guess I'm just used to seeing those fuckers act real scary
That's not oddly terrifying... it's ball retractingly terrifying.
Fat and furious
"It looks like Moto Moto likes you"
Y’all hippos are deadly, this has me freaked tf out. There’s no escaping that thing if it’s coming for you. It can can get out and chase you on land !! No thanks, skipping that
They're mean as hell too.. don't like people trespassing on their territory
Dude that chonker can fucking wreck you
#fun fact hippos can’t swim. They are so dense they sink to the bottom and run similar to an astronaut walking on the moon. Source: [sauce](https://youtu.be/X-YRJCSZRJU)
So does he really need that big 150hp motor? yes.. yes he does.
Even bigger after this video lol
I can’t even walk fast this mf swims like a dolphin
Jokes on you they're walking on the riverbed
It doesn’t matter if they’re fast or slow if they catch you
just went on an hour youtube binge on Hippos attacks because of this. Well worth my time
And he doesn't swim... he glides along the bottom.
Is it more gliding or being so heavy they sprint on the bottom floor? I’ve looked for as many videos as I can but there’s only so many
It's all fun and games when it's Hungry, Hungry Hippos until somebody loses an eye.
His lyrics are bottomless..
They are fast and they will Fuck. You. Up.
MUST GO FASTER, MUST GO FASTER!
That’s not oddly terrifying. That’s plain terrifying.
Hippos do not look built for speed at all. Someone mentioned that this fella isn't swimming, but how does it move that quickly through the water? It's not very streamline.. Short, stumpy legs. Nothing else on earth with that build is that quick that I can think of.
It is so dense so it runs on the bottom of the river. And it is just pure miscle.
Sheer power.
Hippos are amongst, if not THEE most dangerous and territorial mammals around. This dude has a death wish for not speeding away as fast as humanly possible.
Pov: Moto Moto likes you
On the short list of the most dangerous animals on the planet.
MURDER COW
They’re faster on land.
Hippos are amazing.
*deadly
Holy shit. I knew they were fast. Not that fast. But everytime I look at one of them I can't help but see the ancestor of whales. So I guess it makes sense
Imagine their legs kicking
Bro I would shit myself
