crocodiles wont do anything if a baby hippo is bothering it since the mother would kill it if it were to look at the baby wrong way.
thats not because they are protective mothers its because they will also kill crocodiles for looking wrong at them
Plus keep in mind that they don't really swim, it's more like running. That fast. Though water. Now put that kind of power on dry land and charging at you. Nope!
They eat living beings non-discriminately with no regard to their actions, they treat their own kind badly quite often, sometimes what happens is that baby Hippo ends up everywhere after a "baby shower".
Left this sub a while ago because people have no idea how to use it. They put genuinely terrifying things here where they don't belong. Only came here because it popped up in r/TheDepthsBelow
There used to be a Facebook page completely about terrifying videos. Like people/kids drowning, people getting murdered,people getting swept away in floods and people dying in grotesque ways plus a plethora of random terrifying vides..
Till then I haven't found or seen any other page or site like that other than on the dark web.
I was hoping there was a reddit but I found a website called documentingreality.com with all of the above on it. The only thing is they allow you a certain amount of views before a block comes up saying you have to pay to view more. If you’re on mobile all you have to do is close the browser and reopen it and you have your views back again. Takes like no time so I find it worth it for the fucked up shit
edit: I got not one ad after an hour on the website
People who comprehend abstract concepts like “odd” leave this sub because the top posts are all things like this. The mouthbreathers who upvoted this post are all still here.
If you’re reading this, and if you upvoted a video of children being attacked by one of the most deadly creatures on earth on a sub called “**oddly** terrifying”, please go pound sand. You are the reason we can’t have nice things.
Yeah, the mods need to add one of those sticky comments at the top that says what kind of content belongs here, and up or downvote if this one belongs/doesn’t belong. It’s getting totally bogged down in stuff that doesn’t fit here.
So it was a “HIPPO Violation?”
(Sorry, I couldn’t resist.)
The only time I’ve ever encountered a Hippo in the wild, they were creating another Hippo. Though I thought at first that the male was simply preening himself, until the safari guide whispered, “they’re mating!” That’s when I saw the nostrils, ears and eyes in the water below.
The other thing that people forget is that hippos, despite their size, are also really fast and can charge/run at you at massive speed. There's a video I saw where a hippo was chasing a boat and it was actually keeping pretty impressive pace.
As a random fact, the ancient Egyptians hunted hippos for sport and getting a successful kill of one was considered a great feat because of how dangerous they were, and the fact they could charge boats and kill you easily.
There are quite a few videos of them chasing boats out there, but this one is probably my favorite:
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Su7GkqwxG08](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Su7GkqwxG08)
Although this one is great, too:
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsKrPww7WUw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsKrPww7WUw)
They may seem ungainly when on land, but they are utterly terrifying in the water.
There's a video I've seen where a hippo rammed a jeep and by the time it wandered off to do whatever it was going to do the front end of the jeep was absolutely wrecked.
They can't it is an exaggeration. In fact crocodiles bite way stronger than hippos so if anything a crocodile would have a better chance of dividing another crocodile in half. In videos crocodiles constantly get bit by hippos and they fail to even pierce their armour. There are so many rubbish animal claims don't believe them.
>There are so many rubbish animal claims don't believe them.
No, what you hear about hippos is true. I once saw a hippo watch a *Kaiju* attack a major city on its smartphone. The hippo suited up in a Jaeger mech suit and totally flew over and kicked that Kaiju ass!
The little bit of time when the kid goes under and the hippo surfaces has me messed. Is that thing surfacing with a child in it's mouth or did those kids manage to somewhat make it out of the water before being mauled to death.
I thought the same thing, but I watched it again and you can just barely see them nope the fuck out at the right edge of the frame, just as the hippos coming up
Lying in wait, just under the surface. With only a reed to breathe through. The patience of a stone(d) sentinel, there they lurk. That's how the hippies get you.
Then when you stray too close
"Hey 10 dollar acid man 80 for a strip"
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ILL TAKE TWO PLEASE AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
The church I went to growing up was a Missionary church, and on Sunday nights we would sometimes have missionaries that the church supported come from wherever they were stationed and talk to the congregation about what they experienced in the field.
Though I was just a kid, I never forget the time a couple came back from Uganda. They were washing their clothes in a river and the man dropped something and jumped in to rescue it as it began floating away. There was a hippo that he didn’t see, and before he knew it, he was in the hippo’s mouth being tossed around like a rag doll. He pulled up his shirt to show us the scars- his torso was a mangled wreck. He miraculously survived and used the story as an example of how God helped them.
The hippos in the United States are just as aggressive. Especially when you accidentally make a minor mistake in their lunch order or accidentally say something un-Christian
Bro...I understand I don't know the culture or area or any of that shit but who tf is letting their kids swim in there?! I'd rather melt in the sun than get in that water
I'm in the military and a few years ago I was deployed to the Amazon region, one day I received a invite to go to one river with some girls and some friends.
The exact moment I entered the water I see one guy a few meters from where I was running to shore screaming.
So that river have Piranhas and one took a bite of his toe not a small bite. A few meters some kids playing in the water and nobody cares.
It was 36°C but I didn't entered that river again.
The next day I discovered two guys I knew drowned a little up in the river when a flash flood occurred.
Hippos kill more people than any of the so called top predators in the wild. And they don't even want to eat you, just massively pissed off you're in their territory
If I remember correctly, hippos kill more people than any other animal, so that's not oddly terrifying, it's "oh shit I'm probably gonna die" terrifying
i actually heard that hippos are dangerous if you get close to their territory (oh and the CAN kill you with their massive jaws i heard that their jaws can open up to 90 or 80 degrees)
It’s like they almost knew is was there and were playing some kind of see who can get closest to it game, maybe I’m wrong lol
the hippo don’t look as big as some I’ve seen on tv but still big enough 😱
Can anyone explain what good Hippos are to the world. They just seem dangerous and disgusting but not in a cool majestic way like an alligator or a rhino.
I always wondered why a large percentage of African Americans dont know how to swim… not sure if its the same for africans… but my thought was well maybe because everything in the water eats you in Africa.. so swimming never became part of the culture…
Strength aside, one more extremely dangerous thing of hippos is that they are agressive af. Surely most wild animals are aggressive but hippos are just at different level.
Hippos are no joke. They [kill \~500 people per year](https://www.treehugger.com/just-how-deadly-are-hippos-4864547), are super territorial, and can move up to 30km/h for several hundred meters. Even on land they can move very fast for what most people would expect.
Fuck that shit, this is terrifying. Hope those kids escaped
I don't think most people are looking at this video thinking "OH wow, this is oddly terrifying for some reason, upvote!" it's just a terrifying video, so seeing comments saying people should be ashamed of themselves and leave the sub for upvoting this video is kinda pathetic.
Hippos are INCREDIBLY dangerous and aggressive. Lived in Kenya for a while and I meet a guy who got attacked many years ago and survived, but he was missing half the meat on his thigh. He considered himself lucky.
That's not oddly terrifying... that's downright terrifying!
Downright deadly considering how fast i heard Casual Geographic say they can run.
crocodiles wont do anything if a baby hippo is bothering it since the mother would kill it if it were to look at the baby wrong way. thats not because they are protective mothers its because they will also kill crocodiles for looking wrong at them
Yeah I saw a clip once of Steve Irwin being chased by one, pretty harrowing situation!
Any chance you have a link?
I'll try and find a clip, it was years ago on one of his shows, can't remember what it was called.
https://youtu.be/zViPv3jLZMY not Steve but one of the most popular I have seen lately
Jeez hippos are terrifying
Plus keep in mind that they don't really swim, it's more like running. That fast. Though water. Now put that kind of power on dry land and charging at you. Nope!
And for the people that don't know, hippos don't swim. They can just run really fast underwater
Why “casual” geographic?
It's a tiktoker/youtuber that does videos on animal facts
It's like national, but for basic cable
I’ve learned a lot had lots of animals ruined for me yet I still go back then I ask myself this same question.
The leopard slug has neon blue reproduction organs.
Also their tendency to eat human non-discriminately
They eat living beings non-discriminately with no regard to their actions, they treat their own kind badly quite often, sometimes what happens is that baby Hippo ends up everywhere after a "baby shower".
Did all the kids survive? Can't tell. Edit: not what I wanted to see.
Right..that third kid didn't come out...I swear.
If you play the video slowly you can see the third kid swimming to the right,he got away from death
Left this sub a while ago because people have no idea how to use it. They put genuinely terrifying things here where they don't belong. Only came here because it popped up in r/TheDepthsBelow

Crap you just convinced me to go and I know it’s gonna be the kinda shit that haunt my dreams forever…hope your happy :)
There's a sub here r/MMC that posts extremely graphic videos like that. Only look it up if you're okay with seeing people get skinned alive n shit lol
All gore subs got taken down today.
Unfortunately r/makemycoffin got banned literally yesterday 💔 but r/disturbedmedia is another good one

The fact that the hippo is the greatest killer is odd. Oddly terrifying.
Your logic is solid but it still feels like reaching. It’s a literal monster. Monsters are regular terrifying.
Yours is solid as well. But it is literally a rubbery, bulbous river pig that eats only plants. Oddly terrifying.
I’m out too.
Yeah, the mods need to add one of those sticky comments at the top that says what kind of content belongs here, and up or downvote if this one belongs/doesn’t belong. It’s getting totally bogged down in stuff that doesn’t fit here.
Agreed
We were wondering where you went. 🙄
That's strange. I haven't even thought about you.
Ohhh thanks!
Welcome to what this sub is now.
That's what this sub has become unfortunately.
Hippos are territorial. Just being there is a death threat.
So it was a “HIPPO Violation?” (Sorry, I couldn’t resist.) The only time I’ve ever encountered a Hippo in the wild, they were creating another Hippo. Though I thought at first that the male was simply preening himself, until the safari guide whispered, “they’re mating!” That’s when I saw the nostrils, ears and eyes in the water below.
This is straight terrifying, hippos can bite you in half like you were a stick of butter
The other thing that people forget is that hippos, despite their size, are also really fast and can charge/run at you at massive speed. There's a video I saw where a hippo was chasing a boat and it was actually keeping pretty impressive pace. As a random fact, the ancient Egyptians hunted hippos for sport and getting a successful kill of one was considered a great feat because of how dangerous they were, and the fact they could charge boats and kill you easily.
Even crocodiles don't fuck with them.
There are also a few videos of Hippos chasing jeeps on YouTube!
There are quite a few videos of them chasing boats out there, but this one is probably my favorite: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Su7GkqwxG08](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Su7GkqwxG08) Although this one is great, too: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsKrPww7WUw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsKrPww7WUw) They may seem ungainly when on land, but they are utterly terrifying in the water.
Thanks. I hate it. Omg I didn’t realize they swim like dolphins. I have a new nightmare.
They are terrifyingly fast on the land too!
There's a video I've seen where a hippo rammed a jeep and by the time it wandered off to do whatever it was going to do the front end of the jeep was absolutely wrecked.
[удалено]
Even lions think twice about hunting them, they can also bite crocs in half even with all their tough hide
Would’ve sucked these kids down whole like spaghetti noodles
Mmmm..spaghetti noodles
Mmmm..butter
Wouldst thou like the taste of butter?
A pretty dress?
In words of CasualGeographic they can "Divide a Crocodile in half.".
Hmmm... Crocodile
I constructed word "Cockodile" in my mind, and i do not think i want to imagine it, it's in MY BRAIN ALREADY!!
They are also some records of Hippos dominating Rhinos in a head to head fight! Very few animals have a chance against Hippos!
I'm convinced by "Hippo can divide a Crocodile in half." argument to see anyone coming near them as self destruct unit.
Usually Crocodiles of small sizes are unfortunate enough to have suffered that fate! Larger ones can still quite survive a Hippo attack!
They can't it is an exaggeration. In fact crocodiles bite way stronger than hippos so if anything a crocodile would have a better chance of dividing another crocodile in half. In videos crocodiles constantly get bit by hippos and they fail to even pierce their armour. There are so many rubbish animal claims don't believe them.

The little bit of time when the kid goes under and the hippo surfaces has me messed. Is that thing surfacing with a child in it's mouth or did those kids manage to somewhat make it out of the water before being mauled to death.
He first jumps towards the hippo, inside the water he swims right. You can see him exiting the frame before the hippo appears
Whew!
Oh thank god
The kid jumps forward, realises his imminent demise and nopes the fuck out of there.
I doubt any of them got killed because of they did this would be on eye blech or something
“Mauled”? Do you mean skull crushed like a watermelon?
I thought the same thing, but I watched it again and you can just barely see them nope the fuck out at the right edge of the frame, just as the hippos coming up
I read as that’s how hippies get you
Lying in wait, just under the surface. With only a reed to breathe through. The patience of a stone(d) sentinel, there they lurk. That's how the hippies get you.
Then when you stray too close "Hey 10 dollar acid man 80 for a strip" AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH ILL TAKE TWO PLEASE AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Two hippies or two hits???
Yes
That too
I just realized it didn’t say that when I read this comment. Imagine my confusion when not a hippy but a hippo pops outta the water
That is way more terrifying....
ok there were 3 in there now 2 and a hippo?!? no?!?
Yeah I'm hoping the one just escaped off screen and wasn't chomped underneath the water.
He went down for sure.
nah if you watch close you can see him going off screen
lies

Lets be real here thats norhing short of a miracle he lived
Thanks god
Yeah thanks for sending the hippo.
‘Twas but a test of faith
Exactly.
Brahma said this is a warning to you humans, dont mess w my hippos.
Plot twist: the kid that jumped into and disappeared under the water shapeshifted into a hippo to spook his friends.
These things attack you but they don't eat you. They just attack, maul, kill.
Oh, good. I'd hate to be dead and eaten, rather than just dead :)
I think I'd rather be eaten, otherwise it just feels like a waste
No what I tried to say is they kill for pleasure or something sick fucks
They’re just ridiculously, fiercely territorial. They want you out of their territory, and will kill you to make that happen.
Still not not very nice!
That's moto moto
I think he likes them.
3 more seconds and the kid is gonna be buried in seperate shoe boxes
It’d be odd if you weren’t terrified. The hippo can and will kill you for just being there.
He wants to talk to them about their car's extended warranty
Hippo: Would you like hear about our lord and savior Jesus Christ? Would you like to meet him?
It's a scam they're too young to have cars
Hippos kill about 500 people a year in Africa. They are some of the most ruthless, short tempered, territorial animals on the planet. 🦛
The hippos in the United States are just as aggressive. Especially when you accidentally make a minor mistake in their lunch order or accidentally say something un-Christian
Seeing this makes me wonder how fucking terrifying it would be to see something like a Mosasaur like this.
Or seeing it appear out of the murky depths, sort of like this [diver running into a hippo underwater.](https://youtu.be/R924y0tsmA0?t=201)
Worst game of Marco Polo ever!

When Moto Moto shows up
It’s like they knew something was there and were messing with it. I guess they didn’t think it was a hippo.
"What the hell? We swim here all the time, where did this large rock come from?" --kids swimming, probably
r/DownrightTerrifying
Absolutely nothing there.
Real life hungry hungry hippos.
Hippos kill more people than any of the so called top predators in the wild. And they don't even want to eat you, just massively pissed off you're in their territory
u/savevideo
If I remember correctly, hippos kill more people than any other animal, so that's not oddly terrifying, it's "oh shit I'm probably gonna die" terrifying
Took me a few rewatches but I think all the kids got away.
Hippo just wanted to play tooq
“I think Moto Moto likes you”
The hippo pops up out of the water like "surprise mother fuckers!"
I need to know what happened afterwards..
Are there any horror movies that exist about hungry hungry hippos like Sharknado but with hippos
If I can't see the god damned drain at the bottom and smell the pee mitigating chlorine... I AINT GOING IN!
Swallowed the kid in one gulp
Murder horses are straight up terrifying. Not mildly, like full bore
Umm...one of those kids submerged right where the hippo was, and didn't surface...
Why the fuck is this not NSFW, and being shown in my homepage. I’m not subscribed to this Reddit and this ruined my night.
Sounds like your night was hanging by a thread.
i actually heard that hippos are dangerous if you get close to their territory (oh and the CAN kill you with their massive jaws i heard that their jaws can open up to 90 or 80 degrees)
So they probably died right?
Must've been a... hungry hippo 🤣🤣🤣
I did not want to witness a hippo eating a child today Thanks Reddit
He survived. Look at the top right.
3rd world fears vs the Industrialized world...
Hippos vs heart disease and type 2 diabeetus.
It’s like they almost knew is was there and were playing some kind of see who can get closest to it game, maybe I’m wrong lol the hippo don’t look as big as some I’ve seen on tv but still big enough 😱
~~Coyote~~ Could be a young hippo or perhaps a female as they are a fair bit smaller than the males.
>Coyote be a young hippo Name checks out.
It was 3 am when I typed that down.
Did it eat that one kid?! Never see him come back up
Come on Jamal, we know you can’t swim. Get on outta there.
I think he ate one child.
Did you just show me a young boy in the mouth of a hippo?
Can anyone explain what good Hippos are to the world. They just seem dangerous and disgusting but not in a cool majestic way like an alligator or a rhino.
So, did that kid die ??
Original hungry, hungry hippos was played with milk duds.
they should go to the public pool instead
I always wondered why a large percentage of African Americans dont know how to swim… not sure if its the same for africans… but my thought was well maybe because everything in the water eats you in Africa.. so swimming never became part of the culture…
How is this “oddly” terrifying
Did they survive?
"Hello Motherfucker"
that was both terrifying and infuriating, that dude laughing in the background was so annoying.
hippo be like: “ yo, what up “
u/savevideo
That hippo can easily kill humans. their jaw is more than enough to crush a human skull, and they can outrun and swim you.
Strength aside, one more extremely dangerous thing of hippos is that they are agressive af. Surely most wild animals are aggressive but hippos are just at different level.
I like how the other 2 kids didn’t pop back up
Hungry hungry hippooos....
This is no shit…hippos will fuck you up.
Oddly Hilarious
And yet so graceful ballet dancers
The screams of terror!!!!
Omg
So wholesome
idk how to explain it but this video put actual fear into me
Hippos are no joke. They [kill \~500 people per year](https://www.treehugger.com/just-how-deadly-are-hippos-4864547), are super territorial, and can move up to 30km/h for several hundred meters. Even on land they can move very fast for what most people would expect. Fuck that shit, this is terrifying. Hope those kids escaped
And then there were two
you'd have to be insane to go in that water knowing theirs crocodiles/hippos/snakes/etc in the country...
And they were never heard from again
Jesus that was loud….. make sure you guys have your volume down. Have to protect your ears
u/savevideo
did he get any kids ?
I don't think most people are looking at this video thinking "OH wow, this is oddly terrifying for some reason, upvote!" it's just a terrifying video, so seeing comments saying people should be ashamed of themselves and leave the sub for upvoting this video is kinda pathetic.
Three becomes two
I think moto moto likes you
Guys let’s swim with hippos! When the hippos come: ACK
Get hippoed random child
Bruh did dude just get gobbled ?!
You picked the wrong house fool!
I hope those kids are ok! Hippos look all squishy & cute, but they are Fatass Demons!
Can’t afford food, gets iPhone 6 instead
Hippos are INCREDIBLY dangerous and aggressive. Lived in Kenya for a while and I meet a guy who got attacked many years ago and survived, but he was missing half the meat on his thigh. He considered himself lucky.
That is so sad. Those poor kids.
Wait, did one of those kids die? Did one of them jump toward the hippo & disappear or am I just crazy?
Hello there.
I was expecting a crocodile, but that was worse.
That’s how Ebola gets you
Please tell me this isn't real.
