Imani the baby hippo

[TheMidnightBell07]

Hey, mommy where is the milk machine? Someone once said that every baby looks cuter in a hat. Iwonder if baby would like a hat?

[TheMidnightBell07]

Hey, I just learned that they eat humans. Well I'm better than some people that thought they ate marbles lol.

[airmax247]

her foot!!?? 2:50



[jennymk01]

aww so cute

[polaroidsky]

Name him Alphalpha!

[localfizz]

Cute vid, but this music is reminding me of the never ending story

[firebode]

awesome animals and good music :)

[dalipath]

its like a snail with legs

[dooooooer]

what if they cut its big front canines will it be safe even if he bites.

[SuperRegisteredUser]

Is this some kind of pig?

[smacman68]

Shrek ears!

[xLaurakate]

If they didn't grow so big, I'd have one as a pet :)

[RoyallyRise7]

I love hippos. End of story.

[WolfySnackrib666]

OMG I was a baby hippy once!

[SuperCoconutpie]

HIPPOZILLA

[Eve16]

It looks like shes wearing shooooeeesss ^.^

[00Jabberwoofles00]

so precious ! :)

[biglee13m]

mommy is fucking massive

[wevil28000]

its a damn shame they are so dangerous they kill about 200 times the amount of people sharks do

[blackandwhiteangel13]

I just love how it flaps it's ears! Awww, but his skin looks a little funny

[Bpguy38]

star stuff:) like us

[EoceneRoxton]

Fitting that the music is an antarctic theme, when the hippo's closest relative is the whale! :D

[Thoralmir]

He looks like a plump little grape with legs, deosen't he?

[Deejaykozee]

cute lil creature

[mzfabulous956]

nom nom nom concrete <3

[MPSecare]

this music is freaking me out! does the poor thing have a sore on its foot?



[EoceneRoxton]

@MPSecare no, just that some animals have patchy color on their legs, think of a dog or cat that has patches, it's more like a birthmark.

[MPSecare]

@EoceneRoxton  ;D cool!

[pemchem]

What a funny looking little thing!

[meatisadelicacy]

"I almost fell down the curb, and now I will eat it!"

[Ironmandark22]

so my gf just asked me if swahili is a real place like this if u think she graduated from the university of duuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh­hhhhhhhhh

[audreyona1]

just imagine if 1 of those big things step on your foot!

[PLupa2]

I don't know if hippos remind me of cats, or my cat reminds me of hippos...

[DJRoboRoller]

1:58 hear me roar!



[DJRoboRoller]

1:58

[bettyolo]

[tehuan1]

[htfamily]

May 11 is my birthday so the baby hippo is ten years younger than me

[goldeneyesofafrica]

I love this video! Thanks for sharing! I had to stop in again!

[pipesmokerable]

2:09 BASKET HIPPO NOW!

[81broncoman]

Such a great creature, dangerous, but great.

[80sholic]

Ooh, Vangelis music!

[robertpicklesnickle]

2:43 is his foot cut?!

[SarahsWorldd]

That is one of the most precious things :) Hippo's have always fascinated me. Especially baby ones! xD

[jocelynmichels]

This is one of my favorite hippo videos. Thanks for capturing such great images.

[thatguyoverthereFTW]

3:58 ..... 'Ummm, bit of a tight squeeze here mum'

[Tedwinable]

keep pressing 1 for take off!

[Neumie7]

what is the evolutionary advantage to having such huge folds of fat over their legs? i just dont get it. as adorable as they are, i just dont get it.

[cbwife4life1]

I WANT

[sam7748]

Shoooo cute

[kimatoz3]

So sweet.... too bad Mom & Baby are in captivity, though.

[CandyBlooded]

It looks like a Pitbull LMFAO

[goldeneyesofafrica]

Thanks for this. I very rarely see baby hippos.

[GTWrona]

This is the cutest fucking thing I've ever seen. <('_'<)

[TenouHaruka0]

0:50 this concrete is tasty.

[2455HannerdMusic]

I want one.

[marcster1994]

It may look cute but hippos cans be quite dangerous if you don't be careful

[wdkwang]

are those scars on her leg

[madison12peter]

Awwww it's so cute.... my dog is bigger than it. and soon it will turn into a small truck. (yes , i know they're dangerous, so STFU)

[GuoSlice]

4:02 Demolished....

[jadedragon229]

looks like Imani is injured on his left back foot there.,I see a little red.

[UrMumzAGuy]

@jadedragon229 Some hippos are actually born with pink feet that later turn normal colour!

[beccael21]

He is so cute!!

[iriszkovacs]

OMG how big it's his mother!Soooooooooooo FAT,but the mother is cute too

[neckokitty1]

i love how the baby hippo freaks out over a fly lol 2:43

[mikeportnoyfan]

thats the north American house hippo, don't be fooled

[xdiesp]

They would make great pets if they kept being small.

[snickerscrunchers]

I fucking hate baby hippos with a passion.

[p1min1s]

That's where the inspiration for SHREK's ear came from!!! XD

[Deshwat90210]

om nom nom cement steps???

[Burnz2much]

@Deshwat90210 LOLOL i thought that too.. its learning :)

[101raptorkill101]

really good video,the music suits the hole thing!

[lee309]

At 2:42 it looks like the baby hippos foot is bloody o.O cute hippos though.

[invaderpink]

nice music lol

[ZerOxJackal]

cutie!

[filipinohater]

these hippos look better than filipino women.

[meatisadelicacy]

"I almost fell down this step. Now I must eat it. Also, I am wearing socks."

[dkbikes65]

Please can u mail me 1x baby hippo? We need this to cook a special reqest for a chinese family at my work.

Thanks,

Paul

[bouncerchicka]

Ohw,just beautifull :-)

[kristian1115]

Overload of cuteness!... me wanna hold it

[carl137]

what the hell happened to the baby? It has cuts allover it's body and bandages on it' s feet,

[mj4lyfe101]

0:38 oh no dont fall! :0 lol so adorable i wanna hug it but its all wet >_<

[yammer123]

i cant believe there are humans in this world who kill animals as beautiful as this without even thinking twice, oh wait i forgot they come from third world countries...it all makes sence now..

[Dendiol]

@yammer123 Not necessarily. There are plenty of Americans who kill innocent animals as well.

[yammer123]

@Dendiol ya but see chances are those animals can be found in a pet store for food in china so those dont count

[Dendiol]

@yammer123 Are you really this thick? Or is it just an act...

[readynow12345]

what are you talking about, americans are big time game hunters.

[Juxtaroberto]

@yammer123 yes, it makes sense BECAUSE people in third world countries have to struggle to feed their families. if your options were to let an endangered animal live, or watch your family starve, you'd kill the animal too.

[Sakibou]

@Juxtaroberto

Somehow, I'm thinking there'd be more non-endangered animals available to eat. Why, therefore, go after the ones there's only a few of?

[Juxtaroberto]

@Sakibou No, not to eat. To sell their parts so THEN they can buy food. Hippos' ivory teeth are very valuable, just like the elephant's tusks. The rhino's horn is also coveted. If someone in a third world country can manage to kill one of these, they could feed their family for a month, instead of finding a common animal and feeding their family for a day.

[Kbyusxie]

That's adorable <3!

[mydaughtermyworld]

most adorable thing ever

[artpenjr]

Imani just had her own baby, a little boy!

[squishykitty555]

2:11 - 2:13 = Cutest Thing EVAR :D

[shifofail]

This video makes me say PINGAS!!!

[Guyverman01]

I can only imagine what sorts of cute noises that she's making!

[ffpanda]

Poor things. Hippos aren't meant to walk on concrete. It should be in an enclosure that mimics it's natural environment - the Belgium zoo isn't worthy of caring for these animals.

[pungadoo]

what kind of dog is that???.....lol

[chairmanmao89]

" It's so cute how it wiggles its ears. Is there a reason why though?" it is trying to create lift by flapping its ears, flap it fast enough and it'll fly

[gioxal4]

really that cute and chucky baby hippo

[gioxal4]

its so sad to see a baby hippo hurt and the song sound like the baby isnt going to make it.....=s soooooooooooooooo sad and heart breaking

[AKTSFORLIFE]

What a sweet lil baby. Its so sad to see them in captivity but we would never be able to witness this stuff if it werent for captive animals... but they are so sweet.

[JeWithASniper]

poor baby has an owwy on his back foot...:(

[Nonsensei436]

@JeWithASniper And its front left leg.

[kimaniv]

@eieiowens

I'd love to skin it alive and then pour boiling oil on it.

[donutzone281]

2:08-2:14 = <3

[AliceSp]

@ the person who said hippos were 'godless killing machines' :

if you believe in god then you should notice that most religions with a creative god say that hippos are god's own creations

[Langtry613]

cute when it does it's ear flapping.. lol.!

[designlover88]

aw its ears are so cute!

[graz8818]

cute... too bad it's going to grow into a godless killing machine.

[Kavinel]

"Godless"?

That is a strange word for it...

[graz8818]

i was joking, but they are one of the most dangerous and aggressive animals alive.

[666psychadellic]

ugh how fuckin gross

[dragonEmerald77]

I love the ears! I never thought giant water pigs (hippos) could be so cute! I only wish I could hear the sound that the baby kept making.

[Libertine087]

omg this is just too cute!

[pokezach100]

What happened to its back left foot? Very cute by the way.

[Ni83co]

wow i love Hippo's the looks so cute and the are amazing, and strong animals.

especialy the young ones uber cute

[Chocsxhot]

soo cute!!!i love animals!!! each one has a very unique personality!! i love the ears =]

[erikrocksit]

my dad brought a baby hippo home one time so he wouldnt be alone at the zoo over the long weekend. we kept him in the tub and at night he would sit on the couch with me and watch family guy. he was so cute i kept kissing him. now he is a 4 ton adult hippo and i still kiss him:D

[RiceHammy]

ME SCHWANT

[retrowho]

her little feet look sore :( all pink

[purplegirl9002]

so cute

[TheDesolatedShadow]

Look's like a large dog.Cute. (:

[krrrruptidsoless]

A water dinosaur. Cool.

1:59 it tried to roar like a dinosaur. And again at 4:35.

Too bad the music doesn't sound like dinosaur music. Just annoying ringing chimey nauseating grief inducing gag on your ear music.

[JasonHoranyi]

Just so beautiful!!!

[andersmusician]

bestiality

[Muppephile]

retard.

[djmix895]

5 mins of a hippo thats so cute

[XxCiCiRawrsxX]

OMG the hippo is so cute I loved it when she sat down!

[18luck]

3:57 *squish* 4:13 *tail slap*

:D too cute^^

[BILLYLUVSILLY]

omg soo cute!

[guimej]

i have a hippo... huge and old... :)

[eat74]

your girlfriend?

[mlabcxk]

Cute baby!

[Nychickz]

xD ugh. i would love to have a hippo <33333

[TheOnlyAlessio]

i love there ears

[reeferlove3]

oh my fucking god. i want a hippo so bad...i think they're the cutest animals ever :D

[spartan1021]

if you have a hippo as a pet it could kill you

[Bobopoa]

Not if I kill it first!

[spartan1021]

ur sadistic

[Bobopoa]

I'm resonable. A pet hippo is asking for trouble. No matter how cute it is.

Though I also like baby hippos. To look at them that is. From a distance.

[ddujma]

hillarious but truth.

[99knight]

@spartan1021 if u have hippo as a pet u will get poor bec it eats a lot

[oritpetra]

@spartan1021 this hippo is NOT a pet.

[Burnz2much]

@spartan1021 i would still do it if i could.. cancer or a stray car can kill you also..

[xRAKDOZx]

@spartan1021 its still worth it

[barrius1234]

@spartan1021 naw hippos are actually good pets if you can provide them for what they need.

[buckz55]

lets cook it

[chuckmanofgod]

Nah, we'll cook the angry adult hippos, more meat and one less aggressive animal.

[mariz2209]

yeahn add spice on it

[creamsodaboy]

It's so cute how it wiggles its ears. Is there a reason why though?

[davidoo75000]

Hi,

The reason is quite simple: just to blow the water from her ears. I hope I have answered your question. Regards.

[B00mHsh0t]

hippos sweat red sweat

[lolalexandra]

it's not even cool how cute baby hippos are

[megaman2160]

Momma so happy to see her babies

[IndieLuva2]

Are hippos slimey to touch?

[767fife]

why would they be?

[IndieLuva2]

Oh, its just they're always shiny when I see them, but, I've been told that out of water they're slightly rough not smooth (as I initially thought).

[soniccage]

The watery mud is probably slimey...

[Japandrifting]

this music is the kind that is playing whenever i get a massage. matter of fact, the lady that does my massage kinda looks like the mamma hippo.

[Lotsofhunk]

ROFLMAO!

[Jpeezy1983]

there mean as hell when there older. big fat ass pissed off animals. cute as hell though that little bastard

[Jpeezy1983]

piss's me off its so damn cute.

[defrooneyqueenrocks]

those cute ears are killing me! so cute!

[drunkencoconut]

me enamoré de ese hipopotamito.

[thelightunderthedoor]

i love the flappy thing it does with its ears! so cute!......i want it >=]

[thepkrazy]

he looks hungry..lol

[Canoni450]

haha its a she dude

[duvy1234]

Why the hell are the mom and baby in different sectors...that's not right dude.

[KatrynFair]

they actually are not, there is just a bar wall there, if you keep watching Imani comes around it to get to the pool where mother is. :)

it is sectioned off, however it is still open for exit and entry to each section for the hippos.

[lucybrown1]

zoos suck. what a horrible way to keep a wild animal. I've seen more than one big cat that had clearly lost it's mind from being in it's enclosure.

[sonofthedestroyer]

Zoos suck yes. But for many animals its either death in the wild from poachers and habitat destruction or depression in a zoo. Sad state of affairs.

Overthrow the illuminati! Then we may be able to save this planet

[KatrynFair]

unfortunate but true, many endangered animals are kept safe in zoos,

There are also laws to maintain certain conditions for the animals to live in, unfortunately sometimes some zoos do not abide by those laws though :s

it sucks that it isn't their natural habitat and that ppl pay to gawk at them, but at least they are alive and not being poached.

[shantola]

thts one big hippo

[dandelione]

epic soundtrack.

[aghahowa11]

Hippos are like muslim girls, cute on the outside then u get close to them, then they blow u apart

[threadysparrow]

lmao

[electricfan1234]

hahaha
