Do you know what a hippopotamus is? Do you know how aggressive a hippopotamus can be?
Let me give you some facts so you know how serious this video is and the great risk the man is taking.
Do you know that hippos are the most aggressive animals in the world? these huge beasts are responsible for about 500 human deaths in Africa every year.
Hippos can open their mouth so wide to 150 degrees and 4 feet wide. They have razor-sharp incisors and canines that can bite through a small boat and a crocodile.

They are herbivores and this means they feed mostly on plants. That doesn’t mean they won’t feed on flesh if the need arises. 6 Animals That Could Defeat a Hippopotamus
Have you seen a hippopotamus eating watermelon before? They eat a whole watermelon the same way humans eat berries. Soft, easy, and Palatable. All in one smash.
That’s exactly how powerful their jaws are. They spend most of their time submerged in water, about 16 hours a day.
The males tend to be more aggressive and more territorial than females. Hippos are overprotective of their territories. The result of most human attacks is encroachment into hippo territories.
The skin of a hippo is said to be almost bulletproof, pride of lions finds it difficult to take down an adult hippo.
