[stretchyscrotum]

[aciidphreeek]

@stretchyscrotum lmao

[mossomepats81]

@stretchyscrotum it's also part british

[TheQUESTREQUEST]

Great Story! Such a caring family.

[xxlaurenhuntxx]

It's all fun and games untill she shits on the carpet.

[queenofmusic5]

my english teacher told me to search this:)

[hippo1296]

Hippos are Epic!!! there is nothing in the world that i would want more than a Hippo:D

[AshleySaysHeyxD]

My english teacher told me bout this :O

[Stevelord666]

Lol, I'm here because of An Idiot Abroad.

[Princesscolex]

poor doggy

[superpeach99]

English subtitles please. I only speak Canadian! LOL. Love this

[DjArpegius]

I can imagine some homeless drunk person walking by at night, and mistaking sleeping Jessica for some FAT homeless lady sleeping outside

[JusDuckie]

Oh, my goodness...what a gorgeous creature! She's wonderful!

[hyperhypo]

Joe Rogan brought me here.

[TheNigerianScammer]

i love jessica the hippo!

[someuser905]

i hear he tried to have sex with the hippo and she ate him

[GroomingSpyke2]

It's cool and all since it's a hippo and everything so it's like a huge dog I guess.., but damn that would be such a pain in the ass to take care of.. You would constantly have to feed it and not to mention the good amount of poo littering your home/dining area. Idk, pros and cons lol

[mysterycheez]

I sure hope we don't hear some bad news about these people some time. It's a sweet story... but is it wise? No.

[Turbo05Dodge]

one of the most dangerous animals in the world....seems like a good idea...

[williamblair11]

Everything's all fine until the hippo mauls you to death...Like the one in the news today -- Humphrey the pet hippo.

[10000ta]

I have seen this hippo in real live, I have actually kissed Jessica :)

[stanbalo]

Jessica is one spoiled HIPPO!

[stanbalo]

Jessica is one spoiled HIPPO!

[danmcdonough9]

[Mr69mc69]

Jessica is taking advantage of these crazy ppl LIKE A BOSS

[MzChelxoxo]

jessica does not see herself as a child. she's just fucking hungry hippo. these ppl are mental.

[majornewb]

Dogs and hippo :]

[jackcutdaniels]

Hippos are very territorial and the most dangerous powerful animal there is next to rhinos and elephants.

[in4ser]

@jackcutdaniels Yeah no kidding! They killed more people than rhinos, lions or elephants.

[dannythekopite1992]

[WatfordDan34]

f@ck pit bulls , imagine one of these sticking it's head out the window , every human within 20 miles would crap itself ! Good old Jessie :)

[zhengjdc]

@1:29 she stepped on the dog's paw...yelp!yelp!

[aussersein]

[CaptinObvious1995]

@aussersein ...and gay?

[crackerjack113]

PACS - Zook BERKELEY

[ClockworkBondage]

@crackerjack113 HELL YES, thank you Zook!

[seb4774]

hippos are very aggressive, so this is rare hippo characteristics. but she only comes for food, as long as these people deliver she has no reason to attack. any word whether or not these two are still alive?

[RasecVonWizzlbang]

@seb4774

In captivity and when raised by or around humans, hippos become very tame. Not sure why that is.

[CrimsonOkami]

I guess when you live right next to river in Africa, you can have things like hippos for pets.

[madeinjapan99]

SO cuteeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[dmxezz]

a hippo as a daughter?

lol :D Am I on drugs? no ?

[frithyboo]

It's lovely that a Hippo's decided 2 adopt the couple as it's family, but I do think they're barking bayn @ the moon 4 pampering like they do. They've sort of takn it's wild instincts away, I'd B surprised if ny wild hippos hava massues n hand or b served coffee just according2 their taste. Can't see them sayn 'Darling that coffees awful, u added sugar & made it far 2 strong, chuck it away redo it!' As 4 its pink duvet if those grow n the wild, then bugr me, what els have I misd ovr 30 yrs!

[jeloud1]

I wanna EAT!! :D 1:55

[3fatkid]

Jessica is so adorable!

[musique1975]

This is adorable . It is wonderful to see a wild animal like this so tame .

Hippopotamus in the wild are bad tempered , and aggressive .

Jessica has grace . It lovely to see an unlikely bond like this between a much feared animal and a human .

[vdubmerc3]

it can open doors! it's learning!

[andreaswilliamp]

What a fat ass dauther! LOL

Noo it is very cute and nice that the familiy is willing to take care of her!

[LiliEGOISTKa1]

She's so cute!!!

[MalchikBlue]

1:28 Out of the way, dog! Hippo coming through.

[HarajukuEthan]

so sweet :)

[Sparta4always]

I'm going to South Africa tomorrow with my college and they said we're going to see Jessica the Hippo at Kruger National Park I think. I can't wait!!!!

[erilee84]

and wow if she rolls over on the dog during her sleep the dog is pancake

[erilee84]

Time 1:29 did it step on the dog?? Poor dog :(

[callmebigpapa]

I like turtles

[womo1975]

These people are not going to be attacked for one simple reason, they don't contain Jessica and allow her to be wild and I think if you try to train a wild animal and restrict them they eventually turn on their owners.

[SesaayNellieaa512]

so hihi i feel hony today anyone shares the same feeling as me

[TextingFairy]

i want a hipppo

[kimatoz3]

Nobody here claimed that hippos were "cuddle toys." Although Jessica certainly is one... at least she sure loves a massage with her blankey :-D

Lighten up Entropic Misanthropic

P.S. I think we are all aware of how dangerous wild hippos can be; but thanx for your unsolicited education re. this. You are a Whipper Snapper!

[EntropicMisanthropic]

lawl. I point out that the hippo kills more people than any other animal in Africa, and you fly into a froth like a dribbling moron.

It's a simple fact. Hippos are the most dangerous animal to humans in all of Africa. I'm sorry if that fucks up your Pollyanna moron view of the world but it's true.

It doesn't make them bloodthirsty monsters, but they're not fucking cuddle toys for losers like you to buy on eBay and put next to your cats. They're huge, very territorial animals with huge tusks.

[Turbo05Dodge]

@EntropicMisanthropic this is correctly stated and apparently hated on by dumb asses.

[thewaltons]

Hi Carly, this is fantastic! I remember watching this back in October I think on Channel 5. Have you got the full version on dvd at all cos I would love a copy, or any info on how I can get it.

Cheers...K.

[lroughton]

They may be trouble when "Jessica" brings home a wild Lover....

[fezan84]

awww cute

[stelthichippo]

omg i really want that hippo!!!!!!!

[Turbo05Dodge]

@stelthichippo good call, we should all have what is arguably the most dangerous and territorial animal on earth as a pet in our homes.

[DHScherocha]

@Turbo05Dodge The other one was an aggressive and territorial male. It was obvious from watching the video of the other one that it was unpredictable, and interacting with it risky. This hippo couldn't be more chilled out. It's very unlikely that she will ever show any aggression towards them.

[kimatoz3]

okay, so Jessica just disproved the theory about how ferocious hippos are.

[EntropicMisanthropic]

@kimatoz3 you're a real brain surgeon, aren't you? They're the most dangerous animal in Africa and kill the most people.

Do you think before you type, or does the stupidity just spill out like vomit?

[kimatoz3]

@EntropicMisanthropic no, I'm not a brain surgeon- but you sound like one with your nifty name... I was not trying to attest to the hippo being a docile animal. Nor did I feel like joining the wild hippos for a picnic. I watched a full documentary on this family and I was completely amazed at the respect of this enormous animal to and from Jessica. I would love to join Jessica and her family for a picnic,though!

I'm sorry you are so hateful- EntropicMisanthropic

[Turbo05Dodge]

@kimatoz3 some dude in S. Africa just mauled to death by his "pet" hippo...have fun on that picnic.

[bobbya16]

@EntropicMisanthropic ....You know what I think? Aside from your being a total asshole and arrogant ass, I dont think you are educated at all. You are probably one of those superficially educated asses that didnt even go to college. Ive run into your type many times over the years. Do us all a favor and kill yourself.

[Turbo05Dodge]

@bobbya16 why don't you go cuddle a hippo

[bobbya16]

@Turbo05Dodge ...why dont you do society a favor and slit your wrists....

[Turbo05Dodge]

@EntropicMisanthropic haters ganna hate

[madison12peter]

She can break a couch but the dog was fine when she stepped on it???

[acmilanboi]

holy shitt can't believe tht thing actually fit thru the door

[himisterpie]

Best thing EVER HIPPOS ROCK

[tehkill3r]

Reading the posts here, i dont think people realize how dangerous hippos are.

On a list it would be Humans, Hippos and everything else.

[Turbo05Dodge]

@tehkill3r the video is full of dumb asses.....the people with that hippo are more or less juggling a hand grenade everyday

[omniexistus]

@Turbo05Dodge I agree I read some 40 year old guy just got killed by his "pet" hippo Humphrey

[VandyQT08]

@matoooska sweetheart, chill. I was kidding, but the story IS cute.

[VandyQT08]

I want one!

[matoooska]

@VandyQT08 Um, no you don't. Suggestion, you see a hippo in the wild or not behind the fences of a zoo...run.

[playboyx85]

Was she named after Jessica Simpson because they both weigh the same?

[jakec916]

@playboyx85 i lol'd

[wapata8]

I can promise you this, no creature in the world would fuck with you if you have a hippo as friend, except humans of course

[mastergenie19]

you think the hippo is your daughter just wait until you realize it is not a human and it mauls you. you'll be stuck in the hospital regretting the fact that you thought it a human

[samanthalynn1795]

@mastergenie19 dude chill... haha

[Turbo05Dodge]

@mastergenie19 I agree, except with the hospital part....chance of surviving a hippo attack is almost zero.

[X3n0nFr33k]

lol a massage?? even i dont get those!

[sebrinamartel]

I want one!

[X3n0nFr33k]

*hippo walks into kitchen*

"ummmm... can i help you?"

[0zzy07]

rofl

[noobhealz402]

Jessica died 2 nights ago, it was on the news. Hunters shot her 3 times, 2 in the belly and 1 in the head. They are still looking for who ever killed her. Sad sad day :(

[LordVili]

@noobhealz402

Really? Now that's sad. Who would do such a thing. But I wonder where did the shooting happen?

[noobhealz402]

@LordVili South Africa, washed up along a local river.

[jenncyclopedia]

@LordVili it's not true.

[jenncyclopedia]

@noobhealz402 not true.

[almayatic]

@noobhealz402

Give us a link or GTFO

[bobbya16]

@noobhealz402 ...you are a real fucking moron....why dont you do society a favor and kill your self....asswipe...

[noobhealz402]

@bobbya16 Madkidismadlol?

[bobbya16]

@noobhealz402 ...fuckoffscumbaglol!

[CharGuitarGirl]

lol after the hippo stands on the dogs foot she just looks at the dog "oops my bad" then carries on as normal and tries to get her big bum through the door, makes her seem so human and clumsy haha :') so cute

[m236100]

I would shit my self if a hippo walked into my kitchen

[bluetoaster8822]

@m236100 /sends a hippo to m236100's kitchen...

[geof98]

[Claudiabufton]

I met Jessica! she's for real. :)

[1991Amyjane]

@Claudiabufton

[projectoutdream]

[spinn4]

@projectoutdream

[251Trioxin]

[Sonyag1]

This is about the cutest thing I've ever seen. :)

[aussersein]

[Stones1664]

@aussersein

Not fake, was on channel 5 in the UK last night. Suggest you watch it somewhere if you can, amazing.

[Thelovelychristinaa]

Aweeeeeeeeeeeeeee 

[carriegirl186]

[MissSkittles45]

wat da hell

[Bunniesrulebro]

1:28 Stepped on by a 2000 pound hippo :O

[smvalles]

So cute! and I am so glad they are in Africa and not here! Otherwise they will have to have zoning permits, health dept. permits, animal services permits and whatever other permits burocracy will require!

[spagerbot]

So cute! I love her little beard! MWAH! So adorable with the dogs. "Yum! FEED ME", she says. And the pink blanket with the puppy beside her! So cute!

[TheLump2010]

i wish i had a hippo...

[blacknessiah13]

ok now i've seen everything

[greycolumbus]

That can't be terribly safe for other folks that Jess would assume has food.

[Vietboy1st]

That's not hippo. That's a fat water buffalo. lol

[hazfelix123]

I Saw Her On Deadly 60

[rhysyboy96]

I want a hippo, they got big bootys and have awesome teeth

[lucasw122333]

They didn't tame Jessica, Jessica tamed them.

[BolV3R]

@lucasw122333

yup !!!!

[cathetel1]

The hippo is so adorable and you guys are great and blessed by Lord to take care of her in such a lovely way :)

[ravenwind137]

That hippo's living the good life.

[AlanNewMedia]

That is so weird! I had a dream about hippos last night!

[AlessandraGabriella]

OMG YES!!! Jessica is soooooooooooooooooooo CUTE!!! AMAZINGLY CUTE!!!

[1991Amyjane]

aaawww my 2end cousin !!! miss South Africa :(  <3

[1991Amyjane]

aaawww my 2end cousin !!! miss South Africa :( <3 

[kkelvin100]

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww­wwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!! cuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuute!!!!1

[terrareus13]

Hippos are awesome animals! They can be so gentle and loving and at the same time they are so dangerous and powerful, one of the deadliest animals in the world!

[petro440]

Has anyone seen a video where this guy is talking about how humans were gods worst creation. I would like to have that clip from this doc. Please let me know...

[Sneezlebob]

they'd better hope she doesnt snap their spines like twigs

[Singsingsingit01]

aw she looks happy.. hahaha so funny how she sleeps under a pink little blanket!

[readynow12345]

I don't ever see this hippo turning on them say like a lion might turn on a owner, reason being hippo are herbivore's unlike lions, hippo's will eat meat but very rare,

since humans are meat it's unlikely that they would be looking to eat one, & after 9 years no way on earth this animal would turn on it's owner.

[Hughdapu]

what a fat bitch

[frank47hammer]

ahhh, Jessica is so cute. And what a whtch dog she is...one of the most powerful animals on the planet

[kazecatreturns]

That dog seems alright even after the hippo steps on his front paw?! Thats suprising.

[BostonSuckssssssssss]

WTF AT 1:39!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[frank47hammer]

That dog's not dumb- Jessica is a good body guard, as long as she doesn't roll over.

[Joel45454]

At 1:07, it sounds to me like she's saying "weak sweet coffee". I've misheard, right?

If not, does anyone have a clue to why they are giving a seemingly healthy

hippopotamus a CNS stimulant drug?

Enough about that, this video has changed my view of the hippopotamus species.

I previously thought that hippopotamus were untamable and dumb in intellectual and emotional function.

Great video. Thanks for uploading.

[xvbutterievx]

awwwwwww!

[yammer123]

AHAHAHA GOD 1:10 LOOK AT THOSE DOGS LIVE ALONG SIDE WITH THE HIPPO THAT IS SO COOL!!!!!!

[ShiellaMarie08]

ohh that sooo cuuuteee!! I want that in my room! :P

[smiley261963]

This could be really dangerous! Maybe Jessica is just extremely special. They said she goes and hangs out with a pod of wild hippos too so she knows what and who she is. I just hope nothing ever happens to the family - although it seems Jessica loves them too. - Or is is just for the food? hmmm.... nature's wonders :)

[ministicksking]

she is fat as a toilet filled with ass waste <3

[tamarpazush]

she is so cute!!! it makes me want to raise one :)

[Sneezlebob]

@tamarpazush did you not hear the part about how much hippos kill?

[RuralHack]

Beyond words moving life is all the same.

[JimmyChiffels]

this is very dangerous...

anyone who thinks that wild animal can be around humans as pets should watch the video of a woman who's face was ripped off by a chimpanzee. the chimp was a baby when she got him and thought to be "tamed"and not dangerous around humans.... they never found out why it attacked her.

[sanddune]

@JimmyChiffels You're that guy, guess there is one in every bunch.

[JimmyChiffels]

@sanddune u make no sense.

[sanddune]

@JimmyChiffels Generally never do to mental midgets

[JimmyChiffels]

@sanddune Good job troll. I wonder how you look like in real life. Sad.

[bretthetroll]

@JimmyChiffels like a troll

[bretthetroll]

@JimmyChiffels i was in south africa a while back, and i saw baboons on the road. like a smart person. i stayed in the car and rolled up the windows. A retarded belgian couple with a teenage son pulled up. The wife got out and started taking pictures real close. The baboons attacked her and shit. They escaped fine, but it cud have been worst.

[JimmyChiffels]

@bretthetroll I know right? Some people have to understand wild animals are not pets.

[Joel45454]

@JimmyChiffels It is believed that Travis had a paradoxal reaction to Alprazolam, a benzodiazepine, which his veterinarian had been prescribing. Paradoxal reactions to benzodiazepines makes a person energetic, have strong mood swings, extremely violent and unable to feel empathy if angry, suicidal and homicidal, and sometimes have other manic and psychotic symptoms such as hallucinations and delirium.

If that was the case, which is very likely, then Travis could very well have been tame.

[Kingofcorrect]

i hear that hippos have the worst breath in the world, is that true?

[fanofprotopic]

she is tooooooo precious!  I'd love to rub her tumtum.

[grchlukas]

weeeeeeeeeeeee i loooove it!!!

[ItzelSoriano]

So nice care for the hippo, but no care for the dogs. The hippo eats all dog's food and the hippo has a bed and the dogs sleep in the floor :( Yes

@sorryimsogreat2 the hippo stepped on the dog's leg. How much does an Hippo weights? she can brake their feet.

[xSheIsRegretx]

OMFG I LOVE HIPPOS!!!! TEHY ARE SO FREAKIN AMAZING!!!!!!!!! <3

[buckz55]

lol the hippo is the #1 killer ... these ppl are idiots eventually it will turn .... once it gets hungry or feels threatned

[sorryimsogreat2]

130 the hippo steps on the dogs foot, ouch : (

[wtfijustwon]

@sorryimsogreat2 "yelp yelp" (in british accent) even if the dog gets in the way.....
