elephants be fukking hippos up though
Funny thing is the males are very territorial. If you see a group like that it's most likely one male and the rest are female.. And all the kids you see there are female.
Hippos can't stand another male being around. I got on a boat with my girl and we went out looking for hippos with a guide. We found one solitary one first..and a little kid. Guide said it's her son and they hide them aside from the father and sneak out to go feed itCause pops will kill it if it's around. Then some 200 meters away we found a big group with one male that sped towards us. I still have the video in my cellphone. We watched them for a while then they disappeared into the tall grass.
What I learnt is they stay in water all day to keep cool. Then wait for evening to arrive and they go out and graze at night. Eating tons of grass. And then they can't topple your boat unless you are in shallow water and they have footing on the ground. Also they can't cross ditches. They'd eat a ton of food from people's farms and the trick was to make a ditch all around
Man, Hippo's are haters. Just imagine the young son being born, running towards his Pa in excitement, only for Dad to snap it's baby vertabrae in half

I've seen this video a bunch of times on here but someone else must've uploaded it and changed the title
This video is hard to watch seeing that cac manhandle him like that. It's no wonder no one took him seriously after this embarrassing beating.
The Hippo is the true king of the jungle to you clueless urban dwellers..
I'd take my chances running into a lion in a dark alley before a Hippo anyday.
Pablo Escobar brought African wildlife to Columbia, including Hippo's..and they have bred and multiplied and now roam Columbia jungles unhindered and out of control.
Pablo Escobar’s hippos: A growing problem
The growing problem of Pablo Escobar’s hippos
A herd of hippopotamuses once owned by the late Colombian drug baron Pablo Escobar has been taking over the countryside near his former ranch - and no-one quite knows what to do with them.
It was in 2007, 14 years after Escobar's death, that people in rural Antioquia, 200 miles north-west of Bogota, began phoning the Ministry of Environment to report sightings of a peculiar animal.
"They found a creature in a river that they had never seen before, with small ears and a really big mouth," recalls Carlos Valderrama, from the charity Webconserva.
He went to look, and found himself faced with the task of explaining to startled villagers that this was an animal from Africa. A hippopotamus.
"The fishermen, they were all saying, 'How come there's a hippo here?'" he recalls. "We started asking around and of course they were all coming from Hacienda Napoles. Everything happened because of the whim of a villain."
It's just like this crazy wildlife experiment that we're left with
Rebecca Lewison, San Diego University
Situated halfway between the city of Medellin and Bogota, the Colombian capital, Hacienda Napoles was the vast ranch owned by the drugs baron Pablo Escobar. In the early 1980s, after Escobar had become rich but before he had started the campaign of assassinations and bombings that was to almost tear Colombia apart, he built himself a zoo.
He smuggled in elephants, giraffes and other exotic animals, among them four hippos - three females and one male. And with a typically grand gesture, he allowed the public to wander freely around the zoo. Buses filled with schoolchildren passed under a replica of the propeller plane that carried Escobar's first US-bound shipments of cocaine.
While Don Pablo masterminded the operations of the Medellin Cartel from his villa on the hill, the locals gazed at the strange animals and even stranger concrete dinosaurs that Escobar built for his son.
When Hacienda Napoles was confiscated in the early 1990s, Escobar's menagerie was dispersed to zoos around the country. But not the hippos. For about two decades, they have wallowed in their soupy lake, watching the 20sq km (8 sq mile) park around them become neglected and overgrown - and then transformed back into a zoo and theme park, complete with water slides. All the while, the hippos themselves thrived, and multiplied.
There are people saying, 'Oh why do you have to castrate them? Just let them be - castrate the politicians'
Carlos Valderrama
Nobody knows how many there are. The local environmental authority, which bears responsibility for them, estimates between 50 and 60, with most living in the lake at the park. But 12 are known to have paddled past the flimsy fence and into the nearby Magdalena River - and maybe many more.
Here, conditions for hippos are idyllic. The river is slow moving and has plenty of shallows, perfect for larger animals which don't actually swim but push themselves off banks, gliding through the water. Moreover, the region never experiences drought, which tends to act as a natural brake on the size of herds in Africa.
How much the hippos like Colombia can be judged from how much sex they are having. In Africa they usually become sexually active between the ages of seven and nine for males, and nine and 11 for females, but Pablo Escobar's hippos are becoming sexually active as young as three. All the fertile females are reported to be giving birth to a calf every year.
"It's just like this crazy wildlife experiment that we're left with," says San Diego University ecologist Rebecca Lewison. "Gosh! I hope this goes well."
Valderrama, whose job until recently included watching over the hippos in the Magdalena, has seen animals up to 250km (155 miles) away from Hacienda Napoles. Fishermen are terrified of the three-tonne herbivores, he says. At night, the animals roam the countryside, wandering into ranches, eating crops and occasionally crushing small cows.
Colombian people, he believes, are more vulnerable than Africans because they see hippos as cuddly, "floppy" animals. The respected El Colombiano newspaper recently reported that children in a school near Hacienda Napoles are sharing a pond with the animals, and having direct contact with hippo calves at home.
"My father brought a little one home once," an unnamed girl told the paper. "I called him Luna (Moon) because he was very sweet - we fed him with just milk." Another child, a boy, told the paper: "My father has captured three. It is nice because you have a little animal at home. We bottle-feed them because they only drink milk. They have a very slippery skin, you pour water and they produce a kind of slime, you touch them and it's like soap."
