Camreman guy,"there's reeds here in front of you, follow my arm infront of you Steve!"

Now I know why they call 'em "hungry hungry hippos"...

[USEYAHOO]

you know theres a reason they call em WILD animals. But I guess if you live in the wilderness your best protection would be a reppelent if you are too pussy to use guns. In europe the fkin wild boars are causing a ruckus but the guvernment is too pussy to allow NV scopes to go to town on them overpopulating boars... and its fkin hard to spot a boar in our woods let alone kill it while its running around 60km/h ...

[pezzer121]

If I was in that situation and someone shouted 'it's coming straight at you' my rowing arms would've been moving faster than a humming bird's wings. I would've rowed in a straight line over water AND land.

Well if hes narrating over it clearly he didnt get killed lol

So these douche bags invade the Hippo's territory ,Hippo takes evasive action by moving un detected under or past the idiot in the canoe with plenty of opportunity to attack him . Then and because the show is called 'Deadly 60' they have to orchestrate a little drama by shouting and editing ,out of context, footage to make it look like the Hippo is chasing the canoe.

"The Hippo has surfaced behind me blocking my escape " LOL What a load of pathetic old Bollocks !!!! Crap show not worth watching
