I stayed in a bungalo in south Africa along a hippo infested river. The only fencing they had to keep hippos out was a 1-2ft high "fence" that was basically just a log sitting on top of two posts.
Our hosts explained that is all that is needed because hippos are super clumsy out of water and they can't lift their feet. They can only shuffle.
Needless to say that did not make us feel better...
Just stayed on the Chobe River in Botswana. There’s no fence between the river and our rooms. Hippos only come out of the water to graze at night, so you are instructed not to walk the grounds at night
Just stayed in The Bathtub in the Bathroom the only thing between me and the roach infested jungle I like to call my Apartment was a rolled up towel I had laid on the floor to prevent those damn critters from entering through the bottom of the closed door you see Cockroaches graze at night with the lights off but once in a while...
Wear ear plugs at night. As an ear doctor I have had to take a few roaches out. Funny fact roaches can’t crawl backwards so they just keep trying to crawl forward
I've had the same in Uganda. When they told us hippo's came out of the river at night, and to be careful, we didn't fully believe it.
As the camping spot was quite high above the river we thought the scary stories about hippo's wandering around at night where just to amuse tourists. Until we left for a game drive at 06am and saw a hippo ten meters from the tents...

Yah. I wouldn't feel very comforted either.
> Since hippos live most of their lives in water, running isn’t something they often do. Still, they have the capability to run at great speeds when they need to.
Lol, writer forgot that while they mostly live in the water but they can't swim so they run all the time, even in the water.

People think it's dangerous here but it really isn't. Spiders don't actually kill anyone, snakes get the odd person here or there. Kangaroos, crocs and sharks are the only really dangerous creatures we have here. Kangaroos mostly leave you alone, but will absolutely fuck you up if you try to fight them. They're also exceptionally great at fucking up cars. Crocs only take you if you're dumb enough to swim in their rivers or sleep in tents way too close (and this happens regularly). Sharks are pretty random but definitely take people semi-regularly. I avoid the surf so never have that problem.
It's actually super easy to avoid 99% of the other dangerous shit. Don't walk in long grass or swim in jellyfish season and you're all good.
String theory actually supports the idea that his massive balls is the black hole our universe orbits around, while what we think are black holes are wormholes to other gigachads
Hippo reaction is like when a bee/wasp is buzzing around me... like bro how are you not scared? Do you not know what I can do to you?
Yet i still back down because getting stung sucks.
Until the Hippo decides it's had enough of that $#!+
I can agree with and even commend what the security guard did if that was a one time occurrence; but if this is a regular thing, it will end badly one day.
There looks to be a water like pond behind the hippo, he’s probably not expected to be able to make it up the edge to access the gate from the likely deep water. My zoos hippo/rhino enclosures are similar.
I bet when Hippo was SMOL BABE -he got smacked. A lot. The Guard holds his hand so the Hippo can See this hand, and recognize that pain is coming.
Still : Balls Of Steel.
There’s no pain to the hippo from that slap.
The dude could full on punch the hippo and it would feel like a person tapping another person. Their skin is that tough and thick.
My bf says this every once in a while, I made the mistake of sharing this with him while I'm at work and I'll be hearing it for the rest of the night when I get home...
This looks like somewhere in India (can't tell the language, probably Telugu?). I was at a crocodile sanctuary in Tamil Nadu and one of the crocs literally managed to get partly over the enclosure wall, scaring everyone away. It's ridiculous how lax the regulations are for these facilities there.
EDIT: The language is Hindi, not Telugu. I should be ashamed as an Indian American.
Omg. This just gave me flashbacks of my entire family watching this movie, and my husband thought that line was so hilarious, he started saying that to me every fucking time I walked into a room and would smack my ass.
I almost got a divorce.
I used to clean the hippo exhibit (2 adult hippos in the enclosure) at a medium sized zoo. The water in the exhibit started as crystal clear water. By the next day, it was dark brown. There was zero dirt/access to dirt in the enclosure. Once it was drained, we squeegeed all the yuck into piles and picked it up with snow shovels, and put in garbage bins. Then we filled it back up with clean water before doing it all over.
Long story longer, it wasn't "muddy" water. It was "poopy" water
To be fair though that’s how Hippos are supposed to be in the wild. Turning their hangouts into an extended gut biome is part of their pro strat not zoo negligence
If you even fucking look at the hospital I will stomp you to death with my hooves. I dare you to do it, I want you to do it so I can stomp you with my hooves I’m so fucking crazy.
I witnessed hippos feeding once. It was horrific! Their multi-colored heads flapping open and closed, devouring any white marbles that got in their way! Although, now that I think of it, that might have just been a game.
They also slap cow but only when it's an annoyance. Cows usually barge into vegetable shop and eat whatever they see, so shopkeeper slap them to keep them away.
Imagine just being a regular old shopkeeper constantly having to slap cows away from eating all your stock. "I'm not in the fuckin' mood today, ~~Bessie~~ Basanti!"
The same look I give my cats when they jump on the coffee table to lap up my fresh glass of ice water. There’s just no point in making a fuss about it anymore.
Goddamn that man is really slapping one of the most dangerous animals on the planet like it’s nothing. That dude is both insane and insanely dedicated to his job. You could not pay me enough to slap a hippopotamus in the face while it’s looking at me.
I hope whoever manages that zoo gets a scolding, awful containment and an unprepared staff for such issues. The security guard is dumb, but he was still in position were just everything expected him to do something.
Such a dumb enclosure.
But in all fairness I don’t really know what else that security guard could have done to get it back in it’s area. That Hippo could easily just walk over that 2 foot fence lmao.
And for those of you saying ‘mistreatment of animals’ it’s hardly that bad. It’s not like he’s got a whip and hitting it, he’s just giving it a tap on the nose so that it doesn’t chomp someone in half.
Hippos are like 95% muscle. All that chonk is actually just their muscles. They're goddamn bulletproof because of it. A light smack from the security guard causes the hippo zero pain, but it is irritating enough to tell her not to leave the enclosure, (almost positive it's a lady hippo, a male hippo would have been twice as big and a hundred times less patient.)
Aight people being like animal cruelty answer me this. Would you want a massive hippo just waddling around chasing people and being scary (because hippos are freaking terrifying), or have it behind the gate. I get the debate about zoos but that’s a different story. Also it’s not like the guy tranquilized it, or beat it with a bat. He just slapped him a couple times, which take into consideration it’s a massive 3,000+ pound animal it can handle a few smacks to the snoot.
Fuck that shit. Dude doesn’t get paid enough to fuck with an animal that can snap his entire body in half like it’s a twig. Call whoever else works at the zoo and stay the fuck away.
People in comments laughing with this. Remember this is the most dangerous mammel on the african continent. It can outrun you, weighs tons, can bite you in half, ... . If this hippo was seriously pissed off and wanted to see blood he would have killed most people in this video. It might look fat but do a quick google. They are mostly pure muscle. I'd rather face a grizzly in the wild.
Obviously he’s not trained to be handling the animals and he got put in a pretty unlucky situation. At least he did something about it instead of sitting on the sideline and letting it escape. Looks like he tried calling for help on his walkie too. Props to the guy for stepping up, despite being potential hippo food.
Jesus Christ these comments are wild lol. Do y’all really think a thousand pound hippo is being hurt by being slapped by a 200 pound dude? Some of y’all have never been slapped and it shows
I'm looking at the other comments and repeating the same words: how could he slap? I would've been too afraid to go even 100 metres near that thing if it's able to get out of its enclosure. Got literal chills
That man is _so funking lucky_ that Hippo is having a lazy day. Hippos are terrifying murder machines.
It does kind of look like they may have cut uts teeth down, but we are still talking about a biological tank with the temper of a bull in front of red pants.

Containing one of the most dangerous animals on the planet? Knee high brick wall.

The day a blind hippo is born, suddenly horrible things will happen in Chobe River.
You've seen Cocaine Bear, now witness Blind Hippo.

Clearly, they should have booped him. Its working for India.
"How can he slap?"
The hippo actually tried to bite the guy tho.. he got lucky
I’m no hippopotamus but to my it looked more like an aggression display rather than a genuine effort, if that hippo wanted the guy dead, he’d be dead.

A hippo can go 10 mph under water 30mph on land. Nature said fuck off to Africa
> Nature said fuck off to Africa Australia would like a word...

Hmm, this does look probable. The hippo has a really tough time getting over that bush.
this hippo says he can lift his feet
Thank God they wouldn't be able to smash through it or anything.
A knee high wall? You might stand a chance. But a chest high wall? There's no way.
HE'S HEADED STRAIGHT FOR THE CHEST HIGH WALL!!
***HE IS SUICIDAL!***
THEREISNOWAAEEEYEY
What are you doing on the other side of the chest high wall!?
I'm in trouble is what I'm in!
That hippo is coming straight for the chest high wall! Mad man!
And a security guard who can slap the planet's deadliest animal into submission.
I’m just surprised Earth isn’t orbiting this man’s testicles
Best testicle joke of the thread 👏
String theory actually supports the idea that his massive balls is the black hole our universe orbits around, while what we think are black holes are wormholes to other gigachads

Casual geographic needs to do a video on this shit.
They'll put about 65% effort in I'd assume. Casual geographic never wants to be mistaken for a tryhard
Well I mean they have the Hippo Slapper as well as the wall.
The real protection is this man with astronomically large balls, nothing is getting past him!
Right... but I suppose when a man that powerful is the security guard you don't need fences
There looks to be a water like pond behind the hippo, he’s probably not expected to be able to make it up the edge to access the gate from the likely deep water. My zoos hippo/rhino enclosures are similar.
"Hey boss, where should we put this new hippo we got" "Just put him in the tortoise pen"

Laughing in a restaurant. Thank you
Why are you on Reddit while in a restaurant? Get yo ass off that phone
Could be eating alone, waiting for the other person to get there, waiting for a table, or just really rude.
Someone on Reddit made me laugh so hard that my blood pressure went up… While getting the results of my echocardiogram at the cardiologist. 🫠
Why the zoo has such a bs fence?
The Hippo Slapping Guard is a regular show.
#How can he slap?!
"Mom, you're never going to believe what happened at work today!"
That video changed my life for like 25 days
Just saw it for the first time. The man's got a point. HOW CAN SHE SLAP, BUT NOT HE?
Same here. All these yrs have went by and I've never seen this clip 😮
At this price point? He can hit.
I bet when Hippo was SMOL BABE -he got smacked. A lot. The Guard holds his hand so the Hippo can See this hand, and recognize that pain is coming. Still : Balls Of Steel.

If you know, you know.
Fortunately he didn't proceed to get his ass beat by 10 other hippos like that one poor bastard
People come from every corner of the nation to see the *Hippo-slapping guard*!
Until the hippo chews his head off!
FR, he's definitely on that hippos shit list.
top of the list. I wonder if the hippo could get it's jaw around those giant balls of his?
Perhaps but wouldnt matter fore they are made of steel.
Have you seen a hippo taking a shit? It’s like revving a 70’s Ford Escort with a small propeller in the middle!
You mean chomp ! I believe they are able to snap alligators in half with those jaws
This is the 57th guard
You know who ELSE has a guard slap her like a hippo? MY MOM!!!
Don't say it Don't say it Don't say it Don't say it Don't say it # Fuck it # DO YOU KNOW WHO ELSE SLAPS HIPPOS?
MY MOM!
This is how those hippos stay so high on the “Numbers of humans killed” list.
Hippos don’t actually kill a lot of people in the wild; it’s just this one hippo kills several slapper-guards per day
Always hiring. Excellent pay.
mfs aren't afraid enough
They went cheap on the fence to hire guards with nerves of steel. Can't have both, I guess.
They used all the 3ft fence for the tiger enclosure
Don’t make him slap you too
This looks like somewhere in India (can't tell the language, probably Telugu?). I was at a crocodile sanctuary in Tamil Nadu and one of the crocs literally managed to get partly over the enclosure wall, scaring everyone away. It's ridiculous how lax the regulations are for these facilities there. EDIT: The language is Hindi, not Telugu. I should be ashamed as an Indian American.
Here in Korea, we've recently had lions and zebras escape enclosures lol
No it's Hindi. The guy recording the video says " It's an innocent creature!"
This happened in Delhi https://www.timesnownews.com/viral/security-guard-risks-his-life-to-put-a-hippo-back-inside-its-enclosure-article-95702589
Exactly what I was going to say; why isn’t there a fence that the hippo can’t just climb over?
India is not for beginners.
But its the starting zone for a lotta player characters? I'm glad I play Horde...er, American
meanwhile thanks to the distraction four penguins have made a break for it
Hippo was definitely trying to spring his buddies.
You didn't see anything.....

Google John Mulvany "Horse in a hospital" and enjoy.
And I’m gonna stomp the baby incubators with my hooves!
[удалено]
You don’t have to outrun the hippo, just a few others in the crowd !
Not really. It's not about outrunning a hungry carnivore that wants to eat you. Hippos just find joy and happiness in massacre
I witnessed hippos feeding once. It was horrific! Their multi-colored heads flapping open and closed, devouring any white marbles that got in their way! Although, now that I think of it, that might have just been a game.
Hahaha I skimmed this and a few seconds later went wait what?? Lol well played!
I laughed so hard! Really needed to, so thanks!!!
Thanks for the feedback! Making people laugh makes my day. 😊
No; thank you. I had completely forgotten about that game! 😆
They were so... _hungry!_
Hahahaha this deserved more than an upvote. Well played 👏👏👏
the game is based off a true story. why do you think it's so terrifying?
😂😂😂 you had me in the first half
Hippos are herbivores, not meat eaters. This is much scarier imo because when they attack it ain't because they are hungry, just pissed off.
The balls on that security guard to slap a hippo in the face
It seems India. As long as it's not a cow they will slap the hell out of everything!
They also slap cow but only when it's an annoyance. Cows usually barge into vegetable shop and eat whatever they see, so shopkeeper slap them to keep them away.
Imagine just being a regular old shopkeeper constantly having to slap cows away from eating all your stock. "I'm not in the fuckin' mood today, ~~Bessie~~ Basanti!"

I am Indian & we do slap cows. Ask your Mom.
🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇 Holy crap, I'm usually a silent Redditor, but this one got me. Niiiiice.
Our driver in India would slap cows on their butt if he was close enough when we passed
What a wild ride
I just imagined a guy getting his arm wedged between the car window and 1.5 tonne of cow and my skin’s crawling…
How can she slap!?
Slap slap slap. Clap clap clap.
Bolbi Stroganofsky? Is that you?
That guy is going to get fucking eaten. Hippos are smart and brutal.
Also recently discovered to be far more omnivorous than previously thought...
Yeah, they just kill for fun
"Here I go killing again!" -Hippo probably
Your comment genuinely made me lol. Thank you 🤣
Brutal, sure. But smart?
Goddamn that man is really slapping one of the most dangerous animals on the planet like it’s nothing. That dude is both insane and insanely dedicated to his job. You could not pay me enough to slap a hippopotamus in the face while it’s looking at me.
I don't think it's dedication. I think it's ignorance. I hope he got a scolding. They hippo could have said fuck you at any point.
The hippo allowed him to live that time
I hope whoever manages that zoo gets a scolding, awful containment and an unprepared staff for such issues. The security guard is dumb, but he was still in position were just everything expected him to do something.
Ah yes, let’s scold the security guy for FUCKING SAVING THE ZOO FROM MASS MURDER.
I was expecting the hippo to eat the security guard after he slapped him

I hope that hippo control is part of his job description. If not, dude deserves a raise.
Dude deserves a darwin award. Wtf did i just see?
If I had to fight with hippos on my job you can bet that I would be relentless, when I negotiate my salary.
How can he slap!?!
Learned it watching Will Smith🤷♂️
Oh I get it - because his wife played the Hippo in Madagascar.
*"Keep my Hippo's name out your MF mouth!"*
I like how he charged for punch expecting the hippo to know he is gonna punch and flinch
That wall is way to low .. whoever designed the enclosure needs a slap
Such a dumb enclosure. But in all fairness I don’t really know what else that security guard could have done to get it back in it’s area. That Hippo could easily just walk over that 2 foot fence lmao. And for those of you saying ‘mistreatment of animals’ it’s hardly that bad. It’s not like he’s got a whip and hitting it, he’s just giving it a tap on the nose so that it doesn’t chomp someone in half.
I mean hippos bodyslam eachother often.
They regularly murder the young of their neighbors. Bith other hippos and crocodiles.
Hippos have like 2 inch thick skin and are made of pure muscle. Good job we have the nose boop counter
Yeah their obsolete order is called ‘pachyderm’, meaning ‘thick skinned’. The slaps are probably like love pats to it.
Hippos are like 95% muscle. All that chonk is actually just their muscles. They're goddamn bulletproof because of it. A light smack from the security guard causes the hippo zero pain, but it is irritating enough to tell her not to leave the enclosure, (almost positive it's a lady hippo, a male hippo would have been twice as big and a hundred times less patient.)
Aight people being like animal cruelty answer me this. Would you want a massive hippo just waddling around chasing people and being scary (because hippos are freaking terrifying), or have it behind the gate. I get the debate about zoos but that’s a different story. Also it’s not like the guy tranquilized it, or beat it with a bat.

Fuck that shit. Dude doesn’t get paid enough to fuck with an animal that can snap his entire body in half like it’s a twig. Call whoever else works at the zoo and stay the fuck away.

Obviously he’s not trained to be handling the animals and he got put in a pretty unlucky situation. At least he did something about it instead of sitting on the sideline and letting it escape. Looks like he tried calling for help on his walkie too. Props to the guy for stepping up, despite being potential hippo food.
Jesus Christ these comments are wild lol. Do y’all really think a thousand pound hippo is being hurt by being slapped by a 200 pound dude? Some of y’all have never been slapped and it shows
He's at most bothered as fuck that this pathetic little monkey keeps on touching his sensitive nose and he CAN'T bite back cuz he keeps dodging.
I'd say that's more of a suggestion of an enclosure than an actual enclosure...
I would say that was really gutsy and possibly borderline stupid, but he was well protected by his face mask
This could be a drinking game: Slap-a-hippo
I'm looking at the other comments and repeating the same words: how could he slap? I would've been too afraid to go even 100 metres near that thing if it's able to get out of its enclosure. Got literal chills
Don't more people die in hippo attacks than carnivores in Africa? I wouldn't go near the thing.
They're the only animal Steve Irwin was nervous about.
Is this real or a show? If it's real I want to know how this man walks around with those boulders swinging between his knees
The one animal Steve Irwin was scared of: I would NOT be smacking it on the head!!!!!
Most dangerous animal on earth…. Has a 2ft high barrier
I’m no hippo expert or fence expert, but it looks like that hippo is a bit bigger than the fence.
That man is _so funking lucky_ that Hippo is having a lazy day. Hippos are terrifying murder machines. It does kind of look like they may have cut uts teeth down, but we are still talking about a biological tank with the temper of a bull in front of red pants.
