African animals - hippo relaxes under water - BBC wildlife

[AndromedaChao2]

"Because they can't swim, hippos don't like being out of their depth".

One of BBC1's idents involved hippos swimming around in circles in deep water, which I think was a bit exaggerating now

[fraserkatie]

Thats how they got the idea from in their hippos ident!

[tnguyen318]

[heartlessvietboy]

Isn't it wierd how Hippos walk underwater? It looks so unreal. Theres a gang of them under there.

[hill21r12]

[kurumais]

i love how no matter where hippos go so little animal is pecking or nibbling at it

birds out of the water and fish underneath the water hippos must pick up fleas and ticks better then any other beast ever

[sidereally]

hippos really are weird animals.

[liuton2005]

Incredible animals but they are very dangerous. They are responsible for most human deaths related to animals in Africa.

[lmaobanned]

@liuton2005 Its becuase Hippos are racist to Niggers brav!!! ;)...

[MsAzure77]

If you want to know what whales USED to look like and behave when they still had feet and were on land, Hippos are probably pretty close.

[scalefag]

I LOVE HIPPOS

[Jayfeather5651]

hippos are related to my grandpa too

[altalla8]

I love how he says "beach boys." These animals are amazing, so graceful underwater.

I'm starting to think the aquatic ape theory has some good ground. They seem to have many of the same aquatic abilities we do, such as voluntary breath control and virtual hairlessness.

[adiloveall]

heavy hippo becomes beautiful balley dancer under water. 1:32 so funny how the baby hippo spins lollllllllll

[rotfflmfao12]

haah...awesome..XD !!

[ThePsychoDog]

[ecchibanzaii]

@ThePsychoDog It's like it submerges and tries to lift off into the air.

Alas it ain't a flier:D

[cinevadela]

[mikefutoob]

Not whales, pigs.

[TheyLive251]

[Wargrin]

Not pigs, whales.

[sorryforlongcomment]

giant walking whales to be precise... with ears and valves and what not :D

[muiraingeal]

They are so big yet very graceful under water...very cool!

[maddoggydizzle]

[aviaminov]

[piopsi2]

I like hippos

[newyorker744]

amazing

[ribreadandballet]

hippos are related to dolphins and whales?! RANDOM!!!!

[harmonickev]

Is that Stephen Fry narrating?

[harmonickev]

Duh, just read the description

[tommson1991]

Ooh Dolphins! =O

[camaroz28fatbuttgabe]

every time i look at a hippo, i think "yup, that's a dolphin alright".

[fancifelle]

seems like the other animals like hanging around with the hippos. The fish and white birds seem to like their company. The fish probably feel safe by them.

[neobattle2]

thats a long time

[Tschuss]

Oh, I'm pissed! In the US broadcast the narrator was freaking Mark Hamill. I would much rather have listened to Stephen Fry!

[nyokabi123]

that was really cool. I didn't know that hippos are realated to dolfins.

[AnthraxMuffin]

Dad! You're on the TeeVee! ^.^

[MasterIan06]

omg, they're related to dolphins, how cool is that. :)

[SnowWhiteAlison]

what the heck was that baby doing near the end? it was adorable! :)

[Hybie]

He, he... Yeah, it looked like it was completely out of control there for a second or two. Amazing animals though...

[MahaVlog]

Thnx ;)

[MahaVlog]

Great filming, just wondering, how long can they stay underwater?

[tjs989]

the vid stated 6 minutes

[1Shot1Hit]

the narrator said they can hold their breath for about 6 minutes

[MATTPARS0NS]

I love hippos
