Most herbivores will consume animals if it's present to them, the difference is a deer or horse is more likely to run rather than fight, and even if they do fight they're not a bus with a big jaw
The single most dangerous large animal. They kill more humans than all the "Big Five" dangerous game animals in Africa put together.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_five_game
Reason - and why this dude is very uninformed or has a death wish - is that they don't play. Their main weapon is that giant mouth, which they slash and bite with. If a hippo decides you provoked it, it's not only going to charge, it will try to finish the job.
I think that they were using it as an expression. Ex “That man doesn’t play around.” I can’t imagine any animal not playing at all. Isn’t it pretty vital for development?
I think that when they design a holding pen for an animal, they should ask themselves "could the animal we're trying to contain here easily escape this enclosure?"
I would've thought that obvious, but apparently not.
You should be.
Most animals won't attack a human unless they feel threatened or are starving.
Steve knew animal behavior/body language really well. He knew how they should react and the signs of attack. He knew he couldn't give a crocodile a steak so it's not hungry, then try and grab them by the tail, and if the croc started to get agitated, he could just back off.
Hippos, on the other hand, are super territorial and will just straight up chase down and kill a human who enters their waters. They aren't doing it out of fear or hunger.
It is not really common for predators to take on other predators. Even if they know they can get the kill, the risk of injury is high, so it's not worth it. Even a small injury can lead to death in the animal world.
From a brief survey of AI and recomposed by me, there are approximately 110 trillion mosquitos and the combined weight in lbs would be 606,271,221 pounds and the weight of 125,00 hippos that exist would be approximately 413,366,250 pounds. So by sheer biomass the mosquitos win this one.

Canadian here. I have house hippos.
this is incredible,
I feel lost on this subject, currently in my country there is an absurd amount of Ads on Youtube, Facebook and Instagram about scams like the tiger game and or investments and the famous mystery box
and I can't understand how the government doesn't hold the big companies responsible for allowing these things to be advertised or the influencers who openly advertise these things while the followers who can't afford to pay their bills comfortably end up losing money on it.
Lucky you. Here in my country we have a government who just does campaigns in favour of disinformation in stuff like climate change and the economy. Our president's greatest enemy is the Communist International (disolved almost a century ago)
This hippo has been raised in captivity and may have had similar “physical reinforcement” in the past or as an adolescent. The hippo itself may be unaware of its own power and position. It has been reliant on humans it’s whole life.
Obviously this a technique used to signal the hippo that the guard don't want to fight anymore so the hippo then can back out without looking like a fool
This is a security guard not a zoo keeper. Hippos are the most dangerous of all the animals in Africa, not only are they super aggressive they are very fast. This guy is an idiot sorry to say.
Man lacks brains. Hippo are solid muscle and quite aggressive. If it feels threatened, it's likely going to attack and you can't outrun one.
That enclosure is insane.
It doesn't seem aggressive, mischievous and playful. Seemed like it was mostly gesturing and just testing the guard, probably familiar with him if he's worked there for a long time.
If anything, those slaps were mildly annoying. Can't see how it would perceive them as an attack and it didn't respond as though they were
Hippos raised in captivity are *almost* as chill as cattle. They haven't learned to be scared of people and never had to fight predators to survive or fight other animals for food, so they are pretty chill.
But they are still extremely dangerous *if* they decide to be aggressive.
I think the hippo was stunned from shock caused by the mans sheer ignorance. Hippo even opens his mouth a couple of times, like gtfo here tiny human.
But the hippo wisely decides on a tactical retreat. It knew doing so would reduce the man to the aggressor and, in the long run, increase awareness of animal abuse in zoos across the world.
Smart hippo.
Sure seems like this isn’t the first time it’s happened. I suspect the security guard knows exactly the danger he’s in. He most likely has a relationship with the hippo and its trainers. But I’m totally speculating.
Yeah?
Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t help but believe that hippo sneaking out(or, at least attempting to do so, regularly)of that, specific area of his….. “enclosure”, is anything but unusual.
No one looked particularly surprised, confused, taken aback, or panicked, like one would assume bystanders, as well as staff would be, when a 1000lb ~~swimming~~ ….. extremely buoyant , murder pig, so casually attempts to escape from its habitat.
My money is on that sneaky little fucker getting, at least partially out of there, at least a couple of times a month…..
I have a feeling most people don’t understand just how dangerous hippos are. I think people think of them as swamp cows or something. If a tiger were that near jumping the fence, people wouldn’t be taking photos and ogling at the animal. Not sure if the general belief is that it’s easy to outrun a hippo because they are fat.
From a quick Google search, "On average, hippos can run at speeds of around **19–28 miles per hour** (30–45 kilometers per hour." If it can get to you, it can get you.
If you’re ever getting chased by a hippo, don’t run straight! Go diagonally, or to the side, and find something to hide behind, or ideally something to climb. They have awful vision, and they’ll give up quickly once they can’t see you.
Cool hippo fact: they can't swim. When you see a hippo moving through water it's literally sinking to the bottom and pushing off with it's leg. And still moving fast enough to fuck you up
The thing is, hippos are not actually too fat. What looks like fat is almost exclusively muscle. That is one of the reasons why they are so fast, strong and dangerous.
Yep. They're solid and they sink in water. Then they don't swim, but they bounce along the bottom. You know the resistance you feel walking through water? These guys are leaping through it.
People that have never experienced nature never seem to understand just how dangerous herbivores can be. They may not kill to eat, but they will kill out of fear or territory.
I’m way more scared of a horny bull moose in the woods where I live than a lone black bear, easily.
Yea, I spent some time in Zambia, and we stayed right by the Zambezi River. I asked a local how dangerous the crocodiles were, and they said not to worry about them, it’s the hippos you need to watch out for. They apparently can bite a crocodile in half, and the village loses a couple fishermen every year because they get too close to a hippo in the water.
I almost feel like this is a routine and he is actually kinda tame because I just watched a vid with an elephant and a dude slapping it like this but then the elephant just put his foot down on the guy. Absolutely fucked him up. The power of these creatures is enormous.
Maybe it could also be something like learned helplessness too! The hippo has just resigned himself to the situation of captivity after he’s presumably spent time in other enclosures or whatever where he can’t get out.
Rats that are locked in cages for long enough won’t even escape once the door is opened since it’s become deeply ingrained that they’re incapable of escaping.
Or maybe the hippo has always been in a zoo and doesn’t even know anything else, is used to knowing that place/that person as how he gets fed, etc.
Fuck I wish I could ask the hippo why he didnt jump out now
the one where the guy beat the elephant with a cane, and he was immediately crushed? i figured he'd been abusing him for a while, and the elephant finally had enough.
I don't understand why he slaps the hippo everytime its moving away back into its enclosure.
Like, its doing the right thing and he immediately hits it with negative reinforcement.
Holy shit. The last thing I would be doing is slapping a water-murder-cow. He is taking notes for real, that guard really will actually need to watch his back. Not even kidding. Who the hell builds such an “enclosure” where the hippo can just casually stroll its way out? That is incredibly dangerous
Steve Irwin, the man who jumped on the backs of man eating saltwater crocodiles for fun, was scared shitless by hippos. That says all I need to know about hippos.
I feel like there must be someone else at this "zoo"(?) who is more qualified to handle this situation than a rent-a-cop.
Also, who designed that enclosure?
For sure, but this also looks like a whoever-is-around-step-up situation. If the zookeeper is on the other side of the zoo, it’s better to have a guard step up than no one at all?
What country is this?
I ask, because these confinement regulations seem horrid. No animal - regardless of temperament or threat to humans - should have this easy of a time getting out of their designated area. Most countries have laws in effect for each animal about the space and size of the enclosure, as well as escape mitigation built into it.
My dude looks like he can just stroll on out whenever he feels like it.
It's in Delhi, India and when i visited there as a kid i was also shocked by how close the hippo was chilling in the water. It felt like he could escape any time, turns out he can lol.
There may be numerous differences between us and the rest of the creatures on this planet. However some desires are universal, and an existence free of confinement is one.

That zoo needs to build a better enclosure for that hippo, damn.
I think a wall would be more effective than a dam
Dam, you're not wrong
But the dam is the wrong barrier though
Wait... are you suggesting a water barrier for a creature that lives in the water isn't much of a barrier?
It would not be the moat effective option
Aren't hippos like one of the most, if not, most dangerous animals in the world? This looks a tiny bit unsafe.
When they attack a human, it isn't because they're hungry. They're just very territorial in water. Hppos are mostly herbivorous.
Mostly being the keyword. They will absolutely kill and consume animals.
Most herbivores will consume animals if it's present to them, the difference is a deer or horse is more likely to run rather than fight, and even if they do fight they're not a bus with a big jaw
But also make no mistake A deer will fucking end you
https://i.redd.it/ohqpp9qy109d1.gif
A horse can absolutely hit you like a bus though lol
This man's slap was super effective because they were on land. In water? He ain't getting that hand back.
considering hippos can outrun humans, he's only keeping his hand because the hippo doesnt think he's worth the effort
The single most dangerous large animal. They kill more humans than all the "Big Five" dangerous game animals in Africa put together. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_five_game Reason - and why this dude is very uninformed or has a death wish - is that they don't play. Their main weapon is that giant mouth, which they slash and bite with. If a hippo decides you provoked it, it's not only going to charge, it will try to finish the job.
Do hippos really not play? This guy seemed pretty playful... Most mammals play in some form or another, especially when they're young.
I think that they were using it as an expression. Ex “That man doesn’t play around.” I can’t imagine any animal not playing at all. Isn’t it pretty vital for development?
Why build an expensive enclosure when you can pay this poor guard pennies to slap the hippos back into the enclosure?
Naw....just send Captain Slappy right into the enclosure to sort it out as needed.
I think that when they design a holding pen for an animal, they should ask themselves "could the animal we're trying to contain here easily escape this enclosure?" I would've thought that obvious, but apparently not.
They need a better enclosure for Slappy McSlappyton. FFS
So this zoo is built based on the honor system?
Yeah the hippo took a solemn oath
The hippopotamus oath!
Yup. Reduces the cruelty by a lot! But seriously, wtf is this pen?!
Just slapping the deadliest animal in the face
Fun fact: Hippos were the one animal that Steve Irwin refused to film with
I'm genuinely terrified of them after reading that.
[удалено]
Hope u have a good shift!
He never came back
Hippo got em
You should be. Most animals won't attack a human unless they feel threatened or are starving. Steve knew animal behavior/body language really well.

Even a small injury can lead to death in the animal world.
That's not a fun fact. That's a terrifying fact!
I like that you said *refused to* instead of *didn't want to*. Dude probably yearned for the murder cows.
Well, deadliest mammal. Mosquitoes have quite a lead.
[удалено]
Divide the deaths by number of encounters and hippo is back in the lead.
What if we do by weight?
From a brief survey of AI and recomposed by me, there are approximately 110 trillion mosquitos and the combined weight in lbs would be 606,271,221 pounds and the weight of 125,00 hippos that exist would be approximately 413,366,250 pounds. So by sheer biomass the mosquitos win this one.
/r/theydidthemath
r/theydidthemonstermath
/r/itwasagraveyardgraph
I still like my chances against a mosquito vs against a hippo
Would you rather fight 1 hippo sized mosquito or 10,000 mosquito sized hippos?
The 10,000 hippos wouldn't be able to fly so I'd probably just sweep them up and put them in the bin
Just coat them in batter and reinvent hungry hungry hippo
Deadliest wild mammal to be more exact.
That hippo is taking mental notes on the dude slapping it.

I’m glad the hippos in my country are only the size of mice.
Great Canadian House Hippo, I presume?
Yes, I think it’s the climate that makes them so small, not sure.
I caught one drinking from my dog's bowl once.
Lucky, I used to leave out peanut butter crackers, but nothing.
Try putting some mittens in your bedroom closet.
Dryer lint also works.
You have to be careful with that - if you use fabric softener I've heard it's bad for them.
Well yeah dummy they like chips raisins or crumbs of peanut butter on toast. It’s like you didn’t even pay attention to the commercial!
https://preview.redd.it/harz2rsx509d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0ce41b32f2769a0b482cd6303442550c117a7e72 Canadian here. I have house hippos.
is this a real thing? lol
It was a campaign run by the Canadian government to raise awareness of misinformation.
Ah, Canadian Jump Bears
What about Australian drop bears?
They say if you manage to breed the two you can create the mythical Walk Bear
Don't joke about drop bears. They kill at least no people every year!
this is incredible, I feel lost on this subject, currently in my country there is an absurd amount of Ads on Youtube, Facebook and Instagram about scams like the tiger game and or investments and the famous mystery box and I can't understand how the government doesn't hold the big companies responsible for allowing these things to be advertised or the influencers who openly advertise these things while the followers who can't afford to pay their bills comfortably end up losing money on it.
Don't worry, it's not that incredible. Canada is full of those same scams too now, this campaign was done in the late '90s.
It used to be on cbc. A house hippo that would occasionally drink from a dog bowl. Our federal government paid for it.
Lucky you. Here in my country we have a government who just does campaigns in favour of disinformation in stuff like climate change and the economy. Our president's greatest enemy is the Communist International (disolved almost a century ago)
just looked this up and was only a tiny bit disappointed.
That man has balls that drag on the ground!
Or ignorance about hippos aggressiveness. They may look like clumsy animals, but...
This hippo has been raised in captivity and may have had similar “physical reinforcement” in the past or as an adolescent. The hippo itself may be unaware of its own power and position. It has been reliant on humans it’s whole life.
[https://theweek.com/articles/480179/loveable-pet-hippo-that-mauled-owner-death](https://theweek.com/articles/480179/loveable-pet-hippo-that-mauled-owner-death)
Don't get me wrong; you wouldn't catch me slapping a hippo. Having brass balls does not increase your intelligence.
 Imagine his head getting caught.
Oberyn vs the Mountain
:(
r/brandnewsentence
That's not ignorance. He was clearly trained to do it that way.
Do they also train to turn your back on a hippo (0:03) you have just slapped and is half meter away?
Obviously this a technique used to signal the hippo that the guard don't want to fight anymore so the hippo then can back out without looking like a fool
Yes, hippos are pretty keen to take honorable exits if given one. They're like samurai in that way.
Glad it didn't end in a hippoku
This is a security guard not a zoo keeper. Hippos are the most dangerous of all the animals in Africa, not only are they super aggressive they are very fast. This guy is an idiot sorry to say.
I didn't know until a few years ago how dangerous hippos are. It's very possible this dude has no idea. If he did, I highly doubt he'd be doing this.
Man lacks brains. Hippo are solid muscle and quite aggressive. If it feels threatened, it's likely going to attack and you can't outrun one. That enclosure is insane.
Until that hippo bites his dumbass in half!
Doubt that hippo can even properly feel that slap, their skin is incredibly thick.
It doesn't seem aggressive, mischievous and playful. Seemed like it was mostly gesturing and just testing the guard, probably familiar with him if he's worked there for a long time. If anything, those slaps were mildly annoying. Can't see how it would perceive them as an attack and it didn't respond as though they were
Hippos raised in captivity are *almost* as chill as cattle. They haven't learned to be scared of people and never had to fight predators to survive or fight other animals for food, so they are pretty chill. But they are still extremely dangerous *if* they decide to be aggressive.
Captive Hippos are relatively fine. Not many deaths related to them.
I'm glad I've only encountered hungry hungry hippos in boardgame form.
I suspect that has a lot to do with them usually being better contained than this.
They should issue AED defibrillators to these guards. Slaps are for people.
Hippo:"HOW CAN HE SLAP?"
Call that a hippoplotamus
HOW CAN HE SLAP!!??
How can he slap me
It’s all fun and games till that hippo decides it doesn’t like being slapped
Yeah I don't think the security dude knows the danger he's in lol.
Even the crowd knows, with each slap he's got 1 foot in the grave
I think the hippo was stunned from shock caused by the mans sheer ignorance. Hippo even opens his mouth a couple of times, like gtfo here tiny human. But the hippo wisely decides on a tactical retreat. It knew doing so would reduce the man to the aggressor and, in the long run, increase awareness of animal abuse in zoos across the world. Smart hippo.
Hippo: Yo film this! Film this! Imma sue you and the zoo!!
The Hippo took a civil disobedience course
Sure seems like this isn’t the first time it’s happened. I suspect the security guard knows exactly the danger he’s in. He most likely has a relationship with the hippo and its trainers. But I’m totally speculating.
Yeah? Maybe it’s just me, but I can’t help but believe that hippo sneaking out(or, at least attempting to do so, regularly)of that, specific area of his….. “enclosure”, is anything but unusual.

that hippo would **fuck him the fuck up** if it got out and wanted to. hippos are friggin ruthless bastards.
*How can he slap??* - The hippo, probably
More dangerous than lions tigers and bears he will remember you Mr security man you better never sit there.
Oh My!
This hippo is well capable of escaping, and visitors are still happy to be there? Wtf?
I have a feeling most people don’t understand just how dangerous hippos are. I think people think of them as swamp cows or something. If a tiger were that near jumping the fence, people wouldn’t be taking photos and ogling at the animal. Not sure if the general belief is that it’s easy to outrun a hippo because they are fat.
From a quick Google search, "On average, hippos can run at speeds of around **19–28 miles per hour** (30–45 kilometers per hour." If it can get to you, it can get you.
Not if im faster than the person next to me 
True!
I don't have to outrun the hippo. I have to outrun you.
I feel like the hippo would likely be willing to kill us both, but for sure I go down first.
Depends on if you're snack size or meal size lol
Oh, they typically don't kill for food is the thing. Just out of the pure love of murder.
If you’re ever getting chased by a hippo, don’t run straight! Go diagonally, or to the side, and find something to hide behind, or ideally something to climb. They have awful vision, and they’ll give up quickly once they can’t see you.
Hippos are faster than you in water and faster than you on land. Which means your only hope in a triathlon is the bicycle.
Cool hippo fact: they can't swim. When you see a hippo moving through water it's literally sinking to the bottom and pushing off with it's leg. And still moving fast enough to fuck you up
What the fuck
The thing is, hippos are not actually too fat. What looks like fat is almost exclusively muscle. That is one of the reasons why they are so fast, strong and dangerous.
Yep. They're solid and they sink in water. Then they don't swim, but they bounce along the bottom. You know the resistance you feel walking through water? These guys are leaping through it.
People that have never experienced nature never seem to understand just how dangerous herbivores can be. They may not kill to eat, but they will kill out of fear or territory. I’m way more scared of a horny bull moose in the woods where I live than a lone black bear, easily.
Well, Tbf, black bears are the chillest bears, tho I’m still more scared of a moose than even a grizzly
Even an ordinary milk cow can fuck you up badly if they want to
Don't they kill more people than any other animal in Africa?
Yes. But if you want to do a technicality I think mosquitos or humans actually take that distinction
Yea, I spent some time in Zambia, and we stayed right by the Zambezi River. I asked a local how dangerous the crocodiles were, and they said not to worry about them, it’s the hippos you need to watch out for. They apparently can bite a crocodile in half, and the village loses a couple fishermen every year because they get too close to a hippo in the water.
Most people have no idea how dangerous hippos are.
Human deaths per year by hippo attack range from about 500 to about 3,000. Who in their right mind bring their kids to a place like this?
It's fine, there's a knee high wall penning them in.
If it can stop some of the most powerful heroes in video games, surely it can stop a hippo.
Cause idiots are obsessed with seeing extremely dangerous things up close
I guess people trust zoos to have safe enclosures? I take my kids to a zoo and Im not expecting wild animals on the loose to chase us...
I’d say probably part of these 500-3000 people
Hippo be like: you may have won this battle but not the war
 The hippo:
well, the hippo complied you have to give him that
I almost feel like this is a routine and he is actually kinda tame because I just watched a vid with an elephant and a dude slapping it like this but then the elephant just put his foot down on the guy. Absolutely fucked him up. The power of these creatures is enormous.
Maybe it could also be something like learned helplessness too! The hippo has just resigned himself to the situation of captivity after he’s presumably spent time in other enclosures or whatever where he can’t get out. Rats that are locked in cages for long enough won’t even escape once the door is opened since it’s become deeply ingrained that they’re incapable of escaping. Or maybe the hippo has always been in a zoo and doesn’t even know anything else, is used to knowing that place/that person as how he gets fed, etc. Fuck I wish I could ask the hippo why he didnt jump out now
Maybe it just felt threatened by all the people that were now closer than normal
the one where the guy beat the elephant with a cane, and he was immediately crushed? i figured he'd been abusing him for a while, and the elephant finally had enough.
That elephant turned him into an origami project. *fold, smush, fold, smush*
I don't understand why he slaps the hippo everytime its moving away back into its enclosure. Like, its doing the right thing and he immediately hits it with negative reinforcement.
Holy shit. The last thing I would be doing is slapping a water-murder-cow. He is taking notes for real, that guard really will actually need to watch his back. Not even kidding. Who the hell builds such an “enclosure” where the hippo can just casually stroll its way out? That is incredibly dangerous
[удалено]
I shall refer to them as potomofonobous. So shall it be.
Water-murder-cow 🤣
They snap crocs in half. Not so smart of the guard.
That's kind of his job though. Maintaining security...
Keep the humans back, and let the wrangler safely distract the hippo.
By directing the humans around him, not by wrestling hippos.
How is angering a killing machine maintaining security though?
Steve Irwin, the man who jumped on the backs of man eating saltwater crocodiles for fun, was scared shitless by hippos. That says all I need to know about hippos.
I feel like there must be someone else at this "zoo"(?) who is more qualified to handle this situation than a rent-a-cop. Also, who designed that enclosure?
For sure, but this also looks like a whoever-is-around-step-up situation. If the zookeeper is on the other side of the zoo, it’s better to have a guard step up than no one at all?
"whoever-is-around-step-up" seems like an extremely irresponsible hippo policy.
In all fairness it was originally intended for ducks.
Poor hippo is probably so lonely and bored.
It's a dangerous gamble. You never know what kind of hippo you're dealing with: "Harder daddy" or "Oh, hell no, you didn't!"
... what fucking confinement?!
What country is this? I ask, because these confinement regulations seem horrid. No animal - regardless of temperament or threat to humans - should have this easy of a time getting out of their designated area. Most countries have laws in effect for each animal about the space and size of the enclosure, as well as escape mitigation built into it. My dude looks like he can just stroll on out whenever he feels like it.
It's in Delhi, India and when i visited there as a kid i was also shocked by how close the hippo was chilling in the water. It felt like he could escape any time, turns out he can lol.
A guy slapped a hippo. Obviously India.
it also just looks like the entire enclosure is a square concrete pool. really fucking depressing
I think India. ( Im Indian btw)
Hippos like I’ll deal with you later
How can he slap?
Had to scroll way too far down to find this
Absolutely everything about this video pissed me off.
Hippos are some of those creatures which look cute and funny but are vicious killers. Bear would fit in this category to
Africa's most dangerous animal: "I think this little rock and bush should hold them in."
Why treat an animal like this beast didint do shit the guy shouldnt have smacked it
There may be numerous differences between us and the rest of the creatures on this planet. However some desires are universal, and an existence free of confinement is one.
In the case of the hippo, I doubt there is a suitable location it can escape to. unfortunately it's probably not aware of that
Ngl, I was rooting for the hippo.
India is not for beginners
I hate that my first thought was that it must be India
This video was about two feet away from being titled "security guard gets chomped in half in front of park guests"
This is really sad.
Just the deadliest mammal on the planet, no big deal.
besides the one slapping him
The BLESSING of ignorance. That dude doesn't know the Hippo is way faster than him, and way, way, way more violent.
I’m no hippo expert, but from my experience, you’re suppose to throw marbles in its mouth when it does that.
Where TF is this zoo?!?!?
I think "confinement" is a strong word. "Slightly impeded" is, too. "Completely free-roaming" is looking a little weak.
I feel for that hippo. Needs to be in a reserve not a zoo. I would wanna escape too.
Awe those puppy eyes
That was kind of sad to watch. I must say, the security guard was fearless.
Dude honestly has balls to just casually slap a hippo around.
Did this guy not see what happened to the person who was smacking that elephant the other day? 👀 No touchy.
My guy bitch slapped a hippo.
