@SuperCoconutpie Exactly what went through my mind. Though, I've heard you have to see them in person to actually grasp how huge these beasts are. The head alone weighs 500 pounds O__O
i would not put my hand in a hippos mouth..thats like walking up to deaths door, and playing ding dong ditch..NOT GOOD AT ALL hhaha...cool vid though :D
This hippo is a PIG. Look, he gives him grass...the hipp chews a little and then opens his mouth back up, expecting more, yet he still hasn't eaten the grass in his mouth. And then, he drops some grass out of his mouth on purpose and waits for the human to give him fresh stuff. Kinda smart.
That big one still had hay in it's mouth and opened for more. LoL! Reminds me of that Spongebob episode where they're trying to be Squidward's best friend, and he's giving them soda. Patrick asks for more, but his cup is still full. LoL!
Hippos are absolutely gorgeous (witness the pygmy baby hippo here on YouTube also!). Too bad these magnificent animals have such tempers and are so terribly dangerous to be around. I believe they're the #1 animal to kill humans every year in Africa.
how cute the hippo open their mouth everytime 2 let the zookeeper feed them n they did not finish their food be4 calling the zookeeper 2 feed them how greedy ........
IDK about that alot of us are pretty fat lol. Have you ever REALLY looked around, I am big but I am not considered OBESE like alot of these fat fucks walking around. But no they get so much fat because they CONSTANTLY eat. They eat up to 900lbs of food a day and their bodies have to store all of that intake somewhere.
I know they eat 24/7. But that's grass and water melon. Not an ounce of fat. Can you really turn grass into fat just like that. Well obviously, they can. Just wondering exactly how?
It is because they eat so much of it that it has to go some place. One their body reaches the maximum amount of nutrients it can use then it stores it as fat. That is how they live off of fat reserves when food is in short supply. So they over eat all of the time and since their body can't absorb all of the nutrients it puts them into a fat reserve.
lol, they look like they love the petting :) and food is more of an excuse to get some of the petting, the biggest one drops his food all the time. sweet. very adorable scene
Exactly. Hippos are so cuddly and lumberingly cute. They may have a wild and violent side. But only when they're ticked off. I'd love one (well tamed of course) for a pet.;
i really love hippos, when i was little i used to call them hippo-ma-potus-ins, haha i got the hippo part right. my dad always says i would be good at doing something like this and this has inspired me so much to make my career in wild zoo animal care. ive always loved animals but hippos are at the top of my list.
Hello. It is a good idea. But I just want to be shapeshiffted into a hippo in Berlin Zoo... Daily meals, good food, nice enclosure :) Thank you for your comment.
Seems like these hippos have found a friend ! hehe... This is the best caretaker I have ever found. I think the hippos don't want to hurt their food provider... Thank you for you comment.
Yes... Hippos could be dangerous. But don't forget their habitat is, day by day, destroyed by men. They are slaughtered by poachers. They have been exterminated in some African countries. There are 200,000 remaining hippopotamuses in the world. Please, before telling hippo as a public enemy, keep in mind men don't need hippos to kill themselves.
Yeah I'm sure a big help is that he had food for them. And the fact that hippos aren't meat eaters (going in a cage to feed lions or crocodiles would be dangerous because they might go for the person as a food source!).
These hippos also are probably used to this feeding routine, whereas humans coming too close to hippos in the wild frighten and surprise them.
I really love the opening of this video where they come out of the water. They are beautiful animals.
Wow I thought it'd be too dangerous to be that close to hippos. And especially touching and petting them! I know they're in a zoo setting instead of in the wild at a river bank. But still, I didn't realize it would be safe to do that. Isn't there still a chance a hippo could get scared or angry for a brief moment and attack?
Nice video. I've always been fascinated by hippos.
That's true... I already knew that hippos are dangerous, so it was surprising to see them eating directly from the hand of the caretaker. But I think they were too focused on their food to attack the man who feeds them. Good questions. But since I don't speak german, I couldn't ask. Thank you for your comment.
