Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah I've never seen an animal move like that. It looked like a boat just plowing straight through the water. I can see why they're so fast running in the water. On land, their large mass limits their speed (though can can still move faster than expected), but their buoyancy in the shallow water makes them much lighter and agile. They just have to get past the effort needed to displace that much water. I think the depth of the water in the video was just about optimum for this. Too shallow and there's not enough bouyancy. Too deep and his short legs don't touch the bottom. |

 Looks like that was a young hippo there? I read they are real protective of their offspring. |

Young male lions will band together for protection from other males and to cooperative hunt. Usually just two brothers or cousins. Unfortunately for them, male lions with no pride can be taken on a safari for the considerable sum of about $35,000 USD. Working class hunters need not apply for the license.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I think hippos have the record for kills on humans by a long shot in Africa. (Not counting diseases and vaccination trials, of course). And yeah, that hippo had a wake going. Crocs kill more people than hippos by a long shot IIRC. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yeah I've never seen an animal move like that. It looked like a boat just plowing straight through the water. Not "like a boat". sort of like a PT boat. Couldn't tell if the Hippo was running on the bottom or swimming. Seems unlikely either way but he sure covered some distance in very little time. Talk about owning the river. |

Not sure it’s true, but that’s what I recall.. https://science.jrank.org/pages/3340/Hippopotamus-hippo-s-teeth-its-diet.html Hippos have a huge mouth, measuring up to 4 ft (1.2 m) across, and a pair of huge incisors in each jaw. Only a few teeth are immediately visible, mainly the curved lower canine teeth (which are a source of ivory) on the outer part of the jaw. Like tusks, these teeth continue to grow and can reach a length of 3 ft (1 m). |
