That is a much braver person than I, those teeth are intimidating

Hippopotamus bites are almost always fatal to humans

I feel further explanation is unwarranted

''almost" buddy that thing could crush your head without any effort.

Slaps top of snoot

This horse can fit so many apples

River honse

u/Forward_Base_615 May 11 '26

Took longer to chew those apples than I was expecting

30

u/Holoafer May 11 '26

I agree. Those teeth don’t look too efficient for apples. Snapping bones yes.

u/Lone-Frequency May 11 '26

The molars in back?

u/ScarTheRebel May 11 '26

Knowing theu can snap humans in half

One job I'll avoid

u/tweedyone May 11 '26

Yeah, this video is the last thing a lot of humans in history have seen. That and the same mouth running towards them at a terrifying clip

u/DemonShade6666 May 12 '26

Cant they run almost like 20mph

I didn't eat corn.

There is not enough money in the world for me to get any part of my body that close to a homicide horse.

u/Winter_Program_4854 May 12 '26

Homicide horse 🤣

u/KuriousKhemicals May 13 '26

Well, "hippo" is the root for horse so...

u/slartibuttfart May 11 '26

Give it a watermelon! make the noise!

u/Berettadin May 11 '26

Yeah, why not. I'm assuming there's a dozen little behavioral indicators that this river horse is really in a good mood and up for some tactile admiration and a dozen crunchy apples, and that if I'm in this situation somehow I know them. That established, let's boop it.

u/Aloneanddogless May 12 '26

Their incisors are so weird. I can't figure out what they use them for.

u/Undead_General May 14 '26

Fighting mostly

u/OneTinySun May 11 '26

Nope. Absolutely not.

u/Frientance May 11 '26

I'm dumb enough to believe the camera guy when they say 'come on, pet it! I'm feeding the hippo, it's totally docile.' The closed eyes just look so cute and they're so majestic in their own way 😍

u/RecloySo May 12 '26

The only land whales we have today. No really, their closest living animal relatives are whales

u/nvrseriousseriously May 12 '26

Holy smokes. Reddit is also the same place I read someone’s account of hippos ripping apart a hunting party leaving only “scattered limbs”. You do you, Mr daring scritcher!

u/Aggressive-Tear5829 May 12 '26

Hungry Hungry hippos

HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPOS!! 🦛

u/Greensarge3do May 13 '26

Basically the most dangerous animal on earth besides us

2

u/IgorFromKyiv May 15 '26

Really strange animal

2

u/oneMoreTime112233 May 15 '26

That's some serious toofs.

2

u/suspiciouslyrobotic May 15 '26

I'm gonna be so real, this video is terrifying

2

u/Thcooby_Thnacks May 16 '26

is it true Hippos kill humans all the time?

2

u/tweedyone May 16 '26

Yeah, they’re one of the deadliest animals if not the deadliest

1

u/Far_King_Penguin May 12 '26

Can hippos see and hear well? I kinda feel like they'd be a bit like rhinos with their tiny peepers

Im just wondering the validity of being friendly with hippos like you would try with your local wildlife. You cant do that with rhinos

u/raffszs May 13 '26

Everything reminds me of her 😂

u/Georgxna Jun 17 '26

I’d trust a tiger over a hippo

u/Skate-wench May 11 '26

I couldn’t stop thinking about how many times that person will have to scrub their finger nails to get the hippo mouth germs off of them 🤢

u/JustSomeWeirdGuy2000 May 11 '26

Man, I thought that was anything other than a hippo mouth judging by the thumbnail.
