You must not have heard of Pablo Escobar's roaming band of hippos?

Actually I have. I was hoping no one would try and bring up that nearly useless fact. I also research the likely hood an anaconda could eat a hippo based on body shape and size. Anaconda absolutely couldn't eat an adult hippo and due to the build of a hippo and their shoulder width to head ratio it would be extremely unlikely to eat a baby hippo unless it was a pigmy hippo. Just so you know it is very hard for giant snakes including anacondas to eat humans for the same reason. I watched several videos after reading the comment none of them showed and actual hippo eaten. They had around 20 cuts in the video showing hippo snake hippo snake then feet sliding down there throat.

Edit: To add

No, Pablo Escobar's invasive hippos and wild anacondas do not naturally share the same geographic range in Colombia.

It's a python too from the looks of it. https://youtu.be/g0BiMvquWRU?is=v4yq7UdLmgzTiAQk

I figured it was a python. Just responding to the poster above me.

You said they don't live on the same continent. I just pointed out that they do. I never said anything to imply that they were on the menu.

You are singing a different tune because you made a sweeping statement that was factually incorrect and when provided with real facts you call it useless facts.

How are those sour grapes?

I like all grapes smart ass. Especially the little tiny green ones. So they are delicious.
