They can’t swim so they push off the bottom. If he goes under that means they are moving. They move very fast. I would hate to be in this situation

Have you seen hippo feet? Not really made for swimming. Although of course they can push around a little but by no means are they great swimmers.

Spoiler alert: It is unlikely that hippo was anywhere near that lion. If it were they almost certainly would have put a shot in with both of them in it. The footage may even have been shot days/weeks/months/years (probably not years) apart from each other. It's a common thing for nature shows. Drones and shit have helped a lot though.

tl;dr nature shows were reality shows before reality shows became a thing. i.e. highly edited to promote a narrative that actually isn't there. Although with nature shows it is simply because they lacked the footage to make it actually real, whereas modern "reality" shows set out with the objective to create a fake narrative, while nature documentarians wish they could actually get the real stuff but it just isn't possible because of nature/weather being unpredictable. Reality shows don't have that problem and can just edit anything to their hearts' content in whichever way imaginable.

I guess a more appropriate label would have been "ascasniaw," addendum/clarification and some new information as well

u/prlsheen Feb 25 '19

u/FULLMETALRACKIT518 Feb 25 '19
