I lmao when it stepped on the dog's foot. It just looked at it like, "yea, so what?"
Just wondering when that hippo will turn on them and take a bite?

I was wondering the same thing myself. Hippos are dangerous and she has some massive teeth. She may be somewhat domesticated but I'm sure she still has her wild instincts. Here's hoping she stays as gentle as she seems in the video.

OLD news. And there are tonnes of examples.

Rhino - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jehcDPycJPM&feature=channel

Deer - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fYCGPCQQ-48&feature=channel

There are lions, tigers, alligators also.

I find these cooler - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e4OD8dxIry8

Again lots of examples of this. I think this has been posted before. Likely by me.

Elephant and dog not weird or different enough?

Hippos are one of the deadliest and most aggressive animals on the planet. I can't imagine this is safe or responsible.

Nah. Just statistically they've killed more people in africa than any other mammal. And that's just because Africans keep stamping on their sh*t and getting in the way.

So they're not dangerous, but they kill a lot of people for getting too close.

Thanks for the correction.

I once had a pet hippopotamus for almost 7 years. She was very kind and gentle. I raised her from a baby. She never bit me or harmed me in any way. She was also very friendly to strangers. I hand fed her from the time she was just a few weeks old. And even when full grown she was still like a baby. She was a baby, my baby. I think she thought I was her mother. And this was in Korea. She loved to go for walks on campus and meet new people And she would even stand on my finger and on my friend�s finger. And she loved to stand on my head. And when we walked around campus she would ride on my shoulder or stand on my head. Oh, wait. That was my canary. Never mind.
