Natural World: Hippos - Africa's River Giants
David Attenborough reveals the life of the hippopotamus as never seen before. With incredible underwater footage, this film delves into the world of the hippo - an animal that cannot swim yet is utterly dependent on water. In Botswana's Okavango delta, hippos face an unparalleled challenge - deep floodwaters dry to dust in a matter of months. In one extraordinary season, the team go beneath the surface to see them protect their families and face their enemies as they deal with the drought. Going far beyond their dangerous reputation, the show discovers the true nature of the hippo, an animal that is compassionate, sensitive and highly intelligent.

Hippos are incredibly dangerous, and lions around them learn this early on. We tend to think of the lions as the supreme danger, but hippos are worse. Even crocodiles generally don't dare to bother them since an angry response can result in a bite force great enough to break their bones--it's just not worth it. It's not surprising to see a pride give way. Hippos also kill humans quite routinely in areas like the Okavango Delta here--at a higher rate than any other wild animal (not including those in the insect and micro worlds like mosquitoes). Despite being shaped a bit like an obese cow, their temperament is even more volatile than the moose.

Yeah, but I’m pretty sure this is one of those rare lion prides that practices hunting bigger quarry it mentioned on the video that they’ve got the numbers and the experience to bring down an elephant, not to mention the hippo is weaker than normal from thirst. Either way I usually hate hippos they’re fat fucks and hog the water holes and kill other animals that desperately need a drink but in this case I really wanted this guy to make it

Hippos are highly territorial, they usually live in lakes or rivers, spend the day chilling in water to protect their skin from burning under the sun and come out at night, technically expanding their territory at night. They usually give 2 warnings before attacking, the sound at 0:55 is the first one when they notice you invade their territory, the second one is coming closer to you with the jaw fully open to show their teeth. After that, if you are still there they usually charge. There's probably not a single animal (or even group of animals) that would/could face an adult hippo, their skin and fat are too thick to penetrate with teeth and claws, their charge is like a schoolbus hitting you at 50 kph, their jaw is like having said bus fall on whatever part of you they get. They are that lethal.

They can't swim. They're not boring enough. So they do walk underwater and when you see them from the surface of the water looking like they're swimming what they're doing is they're going down to the bottom of the body of water and pushing themselves off the bottom repeatedly that's how come they appear to make movements like a dolphin when they are chasing something in water because they are just simply sinking down to the floor and then rebounding from the floor over and over again.

Oh wow. Is this what The Lion Guard was referring to in the Hippo Lanes episode? Incredible. Reminds me of the way wolves affect the flow of the rivers in Yellowstone National Park.

Another spectacular video that must've taken months to film (to be able to have the time lapse of the river) and only for 6 minutes! And Attenborough's narration is second to none.

Hippos always seem to be described as slow and harmless creatures in early education.

I understand they can run faster than a human. If you are being chased by one, do NOT run in a straight line. Zigzag and corner

Hippos are intelligent too. This guy knew it was either death by thrist or death by lions. He might as well stand his ground. The gamble paid off. I know hippos are strong but a dehydrated tired hippo can be taken down by a Lion pride.

I saw a program and a man had a hippo for a pet, he was a farmer........... A hippopotamus called Humphrey who became an internet sensation after being raised as a pet has mauled his keeper to death. ... The 40-year-old farmer, who said the animal was like a "son" to him, was confirmed dead by medics early on Sunday morning. 14 Nov 2011
