What if it isn't farts but Hippo diarrhea? Then there would be no bubbles. If it is diarrhea, this could explain why wildlife biologists are having such a hard time pinning down the source of the sound. Have you ever tried to pin down diarrhea? Let alone diarrhea underwater in a river? I expect an answer by Monday.

Rhinos having bad vision is actually a myth. Their eyes are about as good as a cat or a rabbit, which for mammals is pretty good.

My favorite hippo fact is that they are not fat at all - their bodies are almost solid muscle, with only about 2% body fat, significantly less than even the most athletic humans. They look big and round because that's just the shape of hippo muscles, and the only reason you can't see the definition is because they have extremely thick skin (about 2-6 inches thick) covering it.

@@indigofenix00 Yes, indeed. But people often anthropomorphise animals, and assume that an animal is "fat" (as in overweight) because it has a high bodyfat percentage naturally. You get the old chestnut - "bears can't run fast, they're fat". They're not overweight, so they run plenty fast despite having a high bodyfat percentage. Their bodies have evolved to carry that mass efficiently. Ours, by comparison, haven't.

I grew up in a small town called Richard's Bay in South Africa, a place known for their hippos and crocodiles. It's a coastal town. However, there are lakes in which hippos reside, and they ran down to the sea. One time, my friend and I planned to swim across a closed area of sea, sort of like a mini-man-made bay. We knew to keep away from the lakes, which were relatively close by as we didn't have a death wish. We started to swim. About half way into our swim we heard this clicking sound under water. We both stopped and looked at eachother puzzled but we couldn't see anything around us so we just brushed it off. We continued to swim and that clicking sound persisted. We stopped again and, I shit you not, about 10 meters from us we saw that familiar hidden face just chilling out the water. Scariest moment of my life. We grow up knowing that hippos have killed more people than any other land animal and knew we were in serious trouble. In that moment, I knew that if the hippo wanted to kill us, it already would have. So my friend and I, without trying to rush, just swam to the nearest land. I have no idea how we made it out out alive but we survived. Honestly thought I was going to die that day. It's true what Zefrank says about their unpredictable nature. I'm sure if it was a young bull, or a mother with her pup, we wouldn't have lived to tell the tale

I got chased by a hippo near the Limpopo river when I was young. A true come to Jesus moment and probably the fastest I've gone up a tree in my life. At 12 years old I just remembered my grandad telling me there's no way you can outrun them so get high and stay put till they get bored and go away or help arrives. Eventually the hippo just moved on but I stayed up there a good fifteen to twenty minutes and only came down when my friends were calling for me. Yes, we were unsupervised. I recounted this to one of the locals with a farm bordering the Limpopo and he said I probably got near a calf and momma wasn't happy about it. I'd heard the pod some way off so I never expected to run into a solitary cow and her calf 😂 My family didn't hear this story until I was well into my twenties.

I just found one of your other channels. I stand in total awe that so much good intention can be carried by one human. Thank you.

I haven't heard a single word from Jerry but he's still my favorite part of this show

So many hippo things I did not know at all! The whale connection, the shared shit soup, the sunscreen sweat... I'm speechless. Ze Frank is once again Ze Man!! (kill me)

“Out there alone with your mother, learning how to hippopotam.” I love your content.
