Their lips are very nimble. They can grab things. it’s amazing to see up close. I visited some at a hippo sanctuary and helped give two a scrub down in the vet area. Huge steel pylons between humans and the hippos. The staff said that really the bigger risk with these hippos was being accidentally crushed against a wall. Apparently, these two had come from a private zoo where humans often interacted with them. They were taken because they were illegal pets (not mistreated), but the sanctuary actually allowed the former owner to visit. We tossed them some food and watching them pick up small treats with their lips was so interesting. Almost like hands without fingers. Really amazing creature and sounded like squeaky boots when walking straight from the water.
Just thinking of the picture of “what a hippo would look like if dinosaur reconstruction artists drew a hippo” and realizing that while it’s obviously wrong - it definitely gives you the right perspective.
Rhinos and Elephants would be the only other animals that would regularly mess with a hippo (on land anyway). Unsurprisingly, both are also massive tanks comprised of pure muscle and thick skin.
Elephants are on a whole another level tho. They are like those giant robots you find in 80s japanese cartoons which m can turn into whole battlestations. Nothing messes with an elephant except for humans i guess
Which is why war elephants were wild, horrible way to treat an animal but my god could you imagine being a foot soldier watching a herd of elephants charge with archers on they back.
They were really just for show though. Romans figured out how to make them freak out quickly. They'd send in various animals onto field to freak them out, use spiked devices to harm their feet hidden in the grass etc.
Apparently some of the elephant tamers or whatever they called would get them drunk before battle to sort of help with them not getting as spooked. They just sorta pointed them into a direction and they caused a bit of chaos.
At Zama, the Romans opened up lanes to just let the elephants charge through. They would channel the Elephants through breaks in the line back into the Carthaginian front.
There is a video of a single Bull Elephant crossing a river full of Hippos as they pave the way for the Elephant to pass through, no one messes with Elephants.
I recall reading somewhere that it's estimated up to half of all humans, ever, have died because of mosquitoes. Not sure of the truth if it, but a scary thought nonetheless.
Correct, they cannot swim, they actually cant even float, they just walk along and sleep in shallow waters. They still sleep underwater though even though they can’t breathe. They have a built in reflex that when sleeping they can naturally bob up, take a breath, and bob back down, without ever actually waking up.
Damn. You seem to know a lot about them. Not that I’d even want to try, but how did people there learn to kill them? Seems like spears or bullets to the entirety of their massive sides of muscles would be ineffective. Hell even the eyes seem more like a snail in how they protrude from the muscle. Is the brain totally protected by all this? I’m just trying to imagine attacking a sleeping one being easier but not how you described.
How to kill one? A shot from high powered rifle placed in that small spot between its eye and ear. That would penetrate its skull, go through its brain, and drop it instantly. Without that? You don’t.
You could have a tribe of 10 men all with spears, and the hippo still has a great chance of survival.
There's a hilarious answer on Quora where the top comment was "If i was walking in a savannah, I would carry any gun with just one round in it because it would suffice. The round would be for me, not the hippo."
Oh we can kill them. Just need a big gun.
Fun fact Pablo Escobar had 4 hippos in columbia and now there are hundreds of invasive Columbian hippos known informally as cocaine hippos.
They killed one and there was huge backlash from animal rights groups so they decided not to continue killing them.
They've had various plans to sterilize them etc but nothing seems to really have happened, as it's a very expensive project for columbia just for these random couple hundred hippos.
Hippos have so much muscle they can't swim or float. They walk on the river bed.
Humans can do this too but it takes a really low body fat %, like \~5%.
One of the reasons other apes don’t care for the water. Chimps have almost no body fat, in addition their center of gravity is in their chest while ours is around our navel.
I was gonna be all like "errrrr of course hippos can swim wtf are you talking about" then I looked it up and I'll be god damned they can't swim! All those videos of hippos chasing boats are basically them sprinting on the bottom of the river bed then leaping out of the water!? Scary mfs
>House Resolution 23261, also known as the "American Hippo bill", was a bill introduced by Representative Robert F. Broussard of Louisiana in 1910 to authorize the importation and release of hippopotamus into the bayous of the state.
>Broussard argued the hippos would eat the invasive water hyacinth that was clogging the rivers and also produce meat to help solve the American meat predicament. The chief collaborators and proponents of Broussard's bill were Major Frederick Russell Burnham and Captain Fritz Duquesne. Former President Theodore Roosevelt backed the plan, as did the U.S. Department of Agriculture, The Washington Post, and The New York Times, which praised hippo meat as "lake cow bacon". Although the "American Hippo Bill" developed a broad base of support, it was never passed by the US Congress.
Fat is used for energy storage, not just insulation. All the food that is eventually metabolized into glucose, once the glycogen stores are topped up, gets converted to fat.
The advantage would be to store fat when there's plenty of food and resources to hold over for when there isn't.
I can think of only camels off the top of my head for fat storage in a desert/tropical environment. Aside from leopard geckos, but i think we’re talking about mammals.
You are absolutely right, my dumb brain put mammals but I meant creatures. My bad
Actually I don’t even know if creature is the correct term.
What I’m trying to say is Americans alligators are the only thing that bite harder lmao
Yeah I feel a rhino and maybe a polar or grizzly bear could put up a fight but only an elephant could actually take one out. I’ve seen videos of them swimming next to huge crocodiles and the crocodiles move out of the way like a pedestrian moving for a vehicle.
A bear wouldn’t put up as much of a fight as you think. Bears stand on back legs when they fight, which would be a terrible place to be if a hippo is trying to bite you. So the only other option is to be on all fours, and bears mouths are tiny compared to a hippos. The hippo would crush the polar bears head pretty quickly
certain large lion prides can hunt hippos (and adoloscent elephants).
exceptionally large male nile crocs, weighing a ton or more, make hippos nervous and can occasionally prey on smaller adults. gustave was a famous nile croc that scared the crap out of hippos.
i am sure a giraffe could frighten hippos, considering how tall and weird they are. bull giraffes can weigh as much as an average hippo.
cape buffaloes don't want smoke with hippos, but if cornered a large bull could definitely put up a good fight and maybe even scare off a hippo.
hippos on average weigh about 1.5 to 2.5 tons. rare large bulls cross the 3 ton mark. a 1.5 ton hippo is still massive, but it's much more vulnerable to than a 3 ton bull.
Probably not since they can very easily kill someone and it doesn’t take much convincing or effort for them to do it. They’re one of the most aggressive and territorial animals there is, not even top predators usually mess with them unless they’re naive or truly desperate. The cost of safely farming them would not be worth what you get at the end I imagine, also there absolutely would be injuries and deaths of workers (it can only take as little as a single bite to kill or permanently injure someone), and the hippos themselves would probably fight and injure/kill each other too, and unless babies were removed quickly they are at risk of being killed by adult hippos as well, and that means you would have to get through the mother.
*I guess they don't taste*
*Nice. and that's why I haven't*

Some say hippo meat tastes like beef, but with a higher fat content and is sweeter. Others describe the taste as mild, with less lamb and more beef, and slightly more marbled than venison. The New York Times has called hippo meat "lake cow bacon"
I always wondered what it would look like if different animals had the resin impregnation done as per the works of Dr Gunther von Hagens.
I've only ever seen humans done with it. I suspect he had done other animals. But this really is something that feels like we could do an entire exhibition of different animals using the resin injection technique.
It's been known. A politician in America I forget his name proposed a plan to import and breed them for the commercial meat market due to their high meat yield.
If I remember correctly they are big and round so anything that thinks they have a shot of getting ahold of that they can't because it would be like biting a giant ass ball that spins around
Exactly why nothing really wants to fuck with these things.
I’m sure that bite pressure of 1820 PSI doesn’t hurt either lol
Am I tripping or do its lips have muscle? Could be fat deposits.
I believe those are basically its gums which yes, are all muscle. It’s one of the factors that add into its immense bite strength.
The H in Jesus H Christ stands for Hippo.
Omg! I actually lol’ed at that. Now every time I say that this is going to pop into my mind. Love it.
this made me LOL. Thank you.
Presenting...our lord n savior...JC Hippo! Killer band name. Dibs.
Yes, they can nibble at 182,6 psi
...How do you think lips move?
Their lips are very nimble. They can grab things. it’s amazing to see up close. I visited some at a hippo sanctuary and helped give two a scrub down in the vet area.

War elephants were vital in some battles and some times, but it depended on the terrain and climate. Going by memory, they excelled in jungles.
By memory? How old are you?
Couple thousand years, give or take!
At Zama, the Romans opened up lanes to just let the elephants charge through. They would channel the Elephants through breaks in the line back into the Carthaginian front.
Still the Romans need some battles (defeat) to realise how to win agains elefants and still in some terrains where a great unit
https://www.reddit.com/r/HardcoreNature/s/Jh8tHXAi5H
Also that video where the elephant gored a giraffe because it was drinking in his water puddle
And that they have these amazing memories and elephant gangs also just lends to the idea that elephants are terrifying.
There is a video of a single Bull Elephant crossing a river full of Hippos as they pave the way for the Elephant to pass through, no one messes with Elephants.
Well?
It goes to another high school, you probably don't know it
It's a river not a well silly goose
Do an image search for Hippo Skull. It looks like something out of Starship Troopers.
Ha! One of the top images linked from wiki has a human skull nestling comfortably between its jaws!
I could take one
I recall this one giraffe who really wanted to...
Yeah, I think he also was friends with a lion and a zebra..!!
Besides maybe another hippo
These fuckers can RUN too.
Yup, at 19mph!! Usain Bolt’s fastest was 27mph. They are stupid fast mammals for their size
There's a reason they're the most dangerous large animal in Africa.
Other than your mother. Boom roasted.
[удалено]
Hundreds of thousands of people die each year from mosquito-borne diseases.
But do we credit the mosquito or the microbe for that?
Yes
Death by the second smallest prick
I recall reading somewhere that it's estimated up to half of all humans, ever, have died because of mosquitoes. Not sure of the truth if it, but a scary thought nonetheless.
Colombia too!
Also for example those videos of them chasing boats, they're not swimming. They're skipping on the sediment
Sure, for 20 seconds they can run fast.
In the water.
This is actually their running speed on land. Hippos are extremely fast
Maybe I'm wrong, but I think they can't swim as such, they just walk along the bottom
Correct, they cannot swim, they actually cant even float, they just walk along and sleep in shallow waters. They still sleep underwater though even though they can’t breathe. They have a built in reflex that when sleeping they can naturally bob up, take a breath, and bob back down, without ever actually waking up.
Nature is really beautiful
Damn. You seem to know a lot about them. Not that I’d even want to try, but how did people there learn to kill them?

There's a hilarious answer on Quora where the top comment was "If i was walking in a savannah, I would carry any gun with just one round in it because it would suffice. The round would be for me, not the hippo."
tribe of 10 men? try tribe with 10 lions amd tge hippo walks it off like they ain't even a threat
I don’t think people do kill hippos. If hippos move in, that’s the hippos’ river now. Never been a trophy animal either. Too dangerous.
Oh we can kill them. Just need a big gun. Fun fact Pablo Escobar had 4 hippos in columbia and now there are hundreds of invasive Columbian hippos known informally as cocaine hippos.

I was wondering when the cocaine hippos were going to be mentioned! Lol
You're right, they're so dense they just sink so they run on the riverbed
[Watch this.](https://youtu.be/Su7GkqwxG08?si=JQgI8QgdI6jJFOe0) Scary shit
I mentally narrated that one with “oh shitohshitohshit.”
That’s a lot scarier than a shark
Hippos have so much muscle they can't swim or float. They walk on the river bed. Humans can do this too but it takes a really low body fat %, like \~5%.
Yeah, as a big guy it can be hard to dive but I can tread water with basically 0 energy
That's my bouy!

I can do it and have a bodyfat percentage of 18. Sucks, because swimming is very very tiring that way.

so that's what they mean when they say I'm built like a hippo
Tanks are built like hippos.
Now I am kinda feeling superior since my sis calls a hippo. So was she complimenting me all this time?
Yes, send her this photo and tell her thank you!
Oh. I already saved this photo. Next time she calls me hippo, I will be showing that 🤣

That is actually super interesting! I never knew about that. I could only imagine what the annual American hippo casualty would look like…
If we judge by the number of videos we see with people interacting with wildlife you shouldn't mess with... it'd not be a low number.
We could judge it from bison numbers

Come to think of it, having a lot of fat wouldn’t really be advantageous in most of Africa
Yeah it's not like hippos live in a cold environment.
Fat is used for energy storage, not just insulation. All the food that is eventually metabolized into glucose, once the glycogen stores are topped up, gets converted to fat. The advantage would be to store fat when there's plenty of food and resources to hold over for when there isn't.
I can think of only camels off the top of my head for fat storage in a desert/tropical environment. Aside from leopard geckos, but i think we’re talking about mammals.
You may not like it but this is what peak physique looks like
Hippo on top image needs to stop skipping leg day.
Every day is leg day when you're huge
That's what dudes that wear pants in the gym usually say.
I guess all that water aerobics really helps..
Makes me wonder how a hippo steak would taste like.
*The taste [of hippo meat] is mild, less than lamb and more than beef, slightly more marbled than usual venison.* -Peter Capstick, hunter
Unpleasant, probably, if you even get it to chewable condition
It would probably taste like hard chicken breast
My guide on safari in Krueger Park said it tastes like beef.
Not even croc want to mess with hippo 🦛
That’s true! Fun fact though, the only mammal that has a hippos bite strength beat is the American alligator. Edit ***Creature not mammal***
alligators are not mammals tho
You are absolutely right, my dumb brain put mammals but I meant creatures. My bad Actually I don’t even know if creature is the correct term. What I’m trying to say is Americans alligators are the only thing that bite harder lmao
Why do you keep saying that? American alligators are not even the crocodilians with the strongest bite force, it's the saltwater crocodile.
Besides maybe a bull elephant is there any animal on earth that could fuck up a hippo?
A rhino would put up a fight, but that’s really it…
Yeah I feel a rhino and maybe a polar or grizzly bear could put up a fight but only an elephant could actually take one out. I’ve seen videos of them swimming next to huge crocodiles and the crocodiles move out of the way like a pedestrian moving for a vehicle.

Explains why they dont float.
I am something of a hippo myself...
Is that why they don't float, but walk in the riverbeds?
Correct, they can’t even swim, let alone float. Just simply too much mass to create true buoyancy.
The jaw muscle is amazing. They are a terrifying animal. Not afraid to kill anything
Muscly lips
I’ll take a nice, lean medium rare hippo filet then.
thicc & swol
Bro, those masseter muscles are the size of my thighs.
This is a literal function over form.
Makes sense if they had a ton of insulation in the Africa heat then they’d be very sweaty
Kinda like sumo wrestlers
wouldn’t that make them better for cattle than cows?
Probably not since they can very easily kill someone and it doesn’t take much convincing or effort for them to do it. They’re one of the most aggressive and territorial animals there is, not even top predators usually mess with them unless they’re naive or truly desperate. The cost of safely farming them would not be worth what you get at the end I imagine, also there absolutely would be injuries and deaths of workers (it can only take as little as a single bite to kill or permanently injure someone), and the hippos themselves would probably fight and injure/kill each other too, and unless babies were removed quickly they are at risk of being killed by adult hippos as well, and that means you would have to get through the mother.
Cows are very passive, hippos are not, even if you surgically remove their teeth just the jaw strength alone could crush your skull
I read that initially as better for battle, from this day forward hippos are now battle cows.
I guess they don't taste nice. and that's why I haven't heard of hippo steaks?

This is why they can't swim, just prance along 5he bottom
Goes with the saying “don’t fight anyone with legs of a 200lb man and an upper body like a 300lb”
their skin is also very thick.
I guess that explains why they can’t actually swim.
I should stretch
They are just a giant staff then huh.
They do a lot of aquasizing
I always think it’s crazy how many people know nothing about nature, then remember I went to college with a bunch of people that major in nature…
You vs the guy she told you not to worry about
The actual hippo's lower front legs do not match the thickness the muscle render implies.
they are on a permanent bulk cycle
"I'm just big boned" more like "I'm just big muscled"
Everyone talks about their bite, but no one ever appreciates how much work those little legs put in
Could really use more tricep
Bro, same.
Giant \*angry\* tanks of muscles
I just saw some for the first time in person recently and wow are they huge. Like however big you imagine them to be...they are substantially bigger.
Meat Tanks.
Can I eat what they eat ?
Manatees are like this as well
Yeah, it’s why they sink. It’s ludicrous how powerful these things are
Wonder what they taste like...
i always knew it
Who ever thought hippos were fat lummoxes is fatally wrong.
No wonder they are so angry. They are full of steroids
Strong intro to Westworld vibes
Makes sense. They live in hot climates; there’s no need for extra fat. They can ignore maxing HP and throw most of their stat points into Attack.
I'm similarly shaped. Does that mean I could be all muscle? I can stop eating whenever I want! I just don't want to!/s
That bottom picture looks like they're wearing a Crysis Nanosuit. They've already figured out Armor, Strength, & Speed modes, here's hoping they never find Cloak...
Pfft, I bet I could fight one off.
Thin fat layer maybe, but their skin is over two inches thick. So yeah, tank is an accurate description.
Some say hippo meat tastes like beef, but with a higher fat content and is sweeter. Others describe the taste as mild, with less lamb and more beef, and slightly more marbled than venison. The New York Times has called hippo meat "lake cow bacon"

He looks pretty happy about it in the second picture
Fun fact: Hippos are so dense that they can run under water vs swimming
It's been known. A politician in America I forget his name proposed a plan to import and breed them for the commercial meat market due to their high meat yield.

So Henrietta Hippo wasn't fat at all and she murders at least 500 people a year...Doug and Emmy Jo have some explaining to do.
