After that hungry movie, I literally hate them for the billionth of time

pesimo doblaje al español, me extraña de la BBC porque siempre son muy cuidadosos en esos aspectos, deben checarlo.

Wow hippos are really protective of their baby 😮😮

If you use the Italian audio track, the tone is absolutely hilarious. I’m Italian, and I can assure you it sounds like the voice of an effeminate Chinese guy who’s taken something to get all hyped up… kind of like in The Hangover.

🩷♥🩷♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ 🧡 The more we learn about animals, the harder it becomes to see them as "less than us". A mother's determination to protect her young is universal. Thank you for these beautiful images and for inspiring respect for the living world. 🌿

Let’s be clear: Adult hippos have NO predators. But the calves do - so watch out for the mamas!

think that one young hippo with the missing ear and covered in scars is just a psycho 😂Probably constantly starts fights even though he keeps losing

That's why I love all great moms.

В таком противостоянии очень часто гибнут малыши бегемотики! А,крокодилы? Сколько сил надо матери,что бы вырос детеныш! Спасибо операторам за их профессиональную работу,полную риска и самоотваги! Зато мы можем наслаждаться этими уникальными кадрами из жизни бегемотов!

If you're ever travelling abroad.. be way more afraid and cautious of hippos compared to gators, crocs, sharks, etc. They can and will absolutely destroy you even though they look like big friendly things.

What? Hippos "are thought" to be close "relatives" of Whales?!
That's absurdity!
Did whales develop feet and tusks? Where are the breathing holes over the Hippos.
Animal enthusiasts say the most absurd, speculative, analogies just to fill in the video duration.
Ha, ha, ha! Where's the big tail?

I love when the bull hippos annihilate the little babies

God created the heavens and the earth …and then he made sir David Attenborough to tell us all about it .

God bless

"It's time to meet the family" is David Attenborough's way of saying 'It's time to grow a set of balls'.

Boy she is real toughest!

What does your mother hope for that you will do to bring her peace?

There is a reason why crocodiles, which are a highly predatory species, stay away from hippos. Crocodiles pay dearly and sometimes adult male hippos oust them for fun from water points. The crocodiles are hesitant, some attack but really this is very lopsided and too much courage means RIP croco.

Same goes for rhinos. Highly territorial and aggressive as hell.

There is a reason why adult male elephants dominate the areas where they go to.

Elephants weak spots are the tusks. Only with these large tusks are they extremely deadly. There are pictures of a young male elephant who is out for trouble and provokes a large adult male rhino with two massive tusks. It runs towards the elephant in attack mode as the elephant keeps closing the distance slowly. The elephant spread his front legs uses his massive head like a ram and presses the rhino down to earth with it, while very skillfully shifting slightly to the side - and ramming his massive tusk into the poor rhino, which mourns loudly. The elephant is out for blood and rolls the rhino around, so his weaker protected belly is exposed. The elephant rams both tusks multiple times into the rhino like it is butter and while being impaled, the elephant uses his tusks which are skewed into the rhino as lever.

Really very brutal. Elephants don't eat meat as we all know. The rhino dies slowly, blood is everywhere.

Never mess with an elephant. Even crocodiles who bite into their trunk regret it when they find out.

Elephant herds cross a river by simply having the males pioneering front left and right and storming through the water. It is brutal especially for rhinos. which are buried alive when they stay in their lane. Brutal.

Shut up, linked to whales

Imagine being the king lions and crocs are scared of this huge beast with iron weighing 3.5ton and 2000 psi gods gift 💝

how do hippos not get eye infectuibs swimming in poo with those bug eyes of theirs

“Closest relative of whales”? Doubt it.

Not “pod”, bloat.

Hippos actually have very little fat, if you look closely you can see their belly is straight up 600 pounds of muscle

"MUM! Hannah's trying to eat me again!"

I feel excited after watching

Baby Hippos like squishy flabby balls with 4 tiny legs, but as adults the power in it's jaws that would be equivalent to the time T-Rex back in it's time

Did baby survive after no water

The dominant bull stalker

I'm not entirely sure that all of those sounds at the end of the video are coming from the FRONT of these animals ......... 🤡

I have never seen hippos befriend humans.

How long can they remain underwater?

Sibling rivalry!

4:02 Hippo fart.

👍🌹🕊💚😘

Give that camera man a raise for swimming with the Hippos.

❤

My thought on the ugliest animals on the planet and definitely, you can almost tell their family members of dinosaurs that would be the hippo. Ugly rhinoceros, horrible hedgehog, not a hedgehog warthog, horrible, even elephants, I do not find at all appealing, it's just Weird looking.I guess that's the point of some of these animals.The can't think of any other ones that are really like creepy like that or alligators , they all of these look like they were descendants of the creepy dinosaurs

I really enjoyed this video 👍👍👍👍 I learn something new everyday 😂

Sure looks buitifull when everything is green and water every where.
