I can picture me moving to Africa, and going shopping for a boat: Salesman, "Sir, what kind of boat do you want?" Moi: "Oh, about 8 person capacity, covered front deck, and, oh yeah, how fast can Hippos swim? 5 times that fast, minimum."
I maintain that the reason why Hippos are always so filled with murderous rage is because they _know_ they're the only aquatic mammal too heavy to actually swim.
Speaking of marine mammal milk, some seals produce milk that's more than 80% fat. They basically feed their kids butter and considering they need to produce blubber it makes plenty of sense.
@@itsthatonechickagaincallth7843 Nahhh bro. I'm a little bit of a perv at times, but bro I can't act like a a perv towards an ANIMAL. Idc how pervy they come, they aren't finna be looking at an elephant's chest.
Please don’t stop doing these. You spit facts backed by science, are quick witted and naturally funny AND it’s about animals? I love this. It couldn’t get any better.
Im confused, my native language is afrikaans,so im not 100%in english so could you mabey help me out with this one, Arent all Facts Backed by Science Or Research of some sort otherwise its just a theory or an opinion/Speculation, Meaning there are no Real Facts exept proven ones? This is a genuin Question. Please Help, thank you.
@@captainprototype755 sometimes people spread misinformation, or facts that aren’t backed by science. They say their “facts” without backing them up. However some people still believe those facts and that leads to a lot of confusion on what is true or not. This guy actually knows what he is talking about, so they are real facts vs the fake facts I talked about.
@@soulpsychic2858 true but then they arent Facts they just pretend them to be, for a fact to be a fact it NEEDS ro be backed by science and research,if you say Facts backed by Science it sounds like you dont have faith in what you say, cuase it cant be a fact without Science or Research, so dont call their "facts" facts its bullshit call facts facts not facts backed by science its like saying a round circle or killed dead, or empty vacuum etc its not wrong but makes it seem liek a fact can be a fact without science or research
An important destinction between Australia and Africa: Australia's wildlife can kill humans through evolutionary happenstance. Africa's wildlife specifically evolved alongside humans to kill them effectively. And that's why I, an Australian, respect the hell outta Africa.
THAT'S WHAT I WAS SAYING! when i re watched the scene where alex goes crazy i was like, "why the hell didn't gloria subdue him? she could do it with zero effort!"
@@ToSP. Have you seen what it says about some pokémon? It says primeape dies from anger, bewear snaps its trainer's spine and tells countless horror stories about basically every mega form.
Dolphins and hippos are literally just land and ocean versions of each other. They evolved from the same ancestor, which is hilarious because they literally managed to evolve to the point where one lives on land and the other in water, yet both are still homicidal menaces that kill for fun
How deadly are hippos? According to ancient Egyptian mythology, when Horus and Set were battling at one point, they turned into the most dangerous animals in the area to try and gain an edge, Hippos. That's right, Hippos are so deadly that the people who lived around them believed that even the Gods couldn't quite measure up to them unless they turned into one.
As someone who knows Egyptian Mythology and other mythologies, I have to confirm this and say; yes this is true. Even Amitt The Devourer Of The Unforgivable Souls is a mix between a hippo, crocodile, and I think a lion
I thought that in Zootopia where the "safe" animals put a muzzle on the little fox but had a damn hippo in their midst was ridiculous. THAT HIPPO IS MORE DANGEROUS THAN THE FOX FFS!
which actually makes for a pretty decent racism metaphor, when a mostly harmless kid gets a muzzle because of the stigma around being carnivorous but the 800-pound murder horse gets to walk free because it's vegan
@@HeilRay Beastars also has a main character who's a deer constantly overpowered by wolves when they're usually bigger than them. And I think they had a hippo character too, who was calm and meek and depicted as a carnivore, all of which are mostly wrong. (As rosenrot mentions above)
That is actually a theme raised several times. You see very dangerous herbivores treated as ultimate victims, which is a beautiful comparison for the white Karen sobbing over a 11 year old black child. You see cats treated worse than elephants or moose too. Honestly, the racial prejudice is perfectly undertones with our inaccurate perception on animals. Its layers of intelligent.
no thank you, I don't even live near louisiana but damn do I not want a rubbery tank that can straight up eren's mom me to be in a 100 000 mile radius of me
Everything to make sure you don't escape prison is swimming in their coastline. All because you owed a few shillings, to the government. English were seriously fucked up.
People are still surprised when told that saltwater crocodiles take to the surf, pretty often. You only think that sticking to the shallows protects you from venomous fangs and barbs on land, and the rows of teeth out at sea. You forgot that the inland waterways filled with chomping jaws that you've avoided, connects to the beach...
Most zoos don't let zookeepers in with hippo. They have a gate system. My zoo had one elderly hippo, Tammy, who just wanted to sleep and eat. We were allowed in with her and would get real close, and she had no problem with being pet. But every time we gave her watermelon, I couldn't help but think... if she got mad, she'd crush my skull with the same ease.
The dhole is actually the Asian DLC patch of the African Wild Dog Build. Since the only builds that hit Africa levels of Difficulty in the Asian Server are the Tigers and Sloth bears, these builds run shit around the server.
Sometimes the Asian DLC bugs out - Pandas are still next-to-unplayable. Other times, Asian patches overclock the stock builds - Have a look at what happened to Hornets
@@archietiberius5005 Yeah if the African server's playstyle is around High Difficulty, the Asian servers are based on High Unpredictability. Trying to go Gimmicky in here like the Pandas tried will only get your playthrough cut short. Imagine if there was a Server where you can experience Australia Africa and Asia servers together. It would be awesome. Deadly but Awesome
@@omegadeadpool2947 african server is filled with meta-chasing min-maxers while asian server is just full of rogue, niche build that are either just for lols (panda) or f2p version of african builds.
@@iseektheholygrail2055 Asia server has the steppe biome so whenever an animal became too good there they got exterminated by humans riding horses. The same thing happened to the American Bison.
Fun fact: The closest relative of the Dhole is the African wild dog even though they look nothing alike. (Some similarities show in their hunting behavior: Both canids are highly efficient pack hunters that will tear apart and eat their prey while they are still alive and both have to compete with other larger predators that can kill them albeit in different places in the world.)
I remember listening to a podcast on hippos, which mentioned such fun facts as: - a man recalling how he got attacked, bit and then saw darkness. Because he was entirely in the hippo's mouth. Not sure how he survived, but he did. He's insane, because he returned to being a kayaking instructor on the same river. - a man recalling how he got bit through his chest, which EXPOSED HIS LUNG so it was visible. Hippos, not even once.
That poor man must have been seriously poor to be forced to go back to the same job. And ofc everyone hearing that story will forever assume he was just crazy…
Right off the bat, "you wanna know the funny part about that video?" Annnd proceeds to explain something not only extremely _not_ funny but downright terrifying. That hippo is ploughing through a speedboat's _wake._
I hadn't considered that last part o was just thinking of the fact that it was staying near the surface while chasing the boat, the fact that this is being done whole In the boats wake makes it scarier. Like what did they do to piss off that hippo?
I had a teacher who spent a few months in Africa, and she said how some guy took her out to go see hippos. It was horrifying because his definition of "seeing hippos" was waking them up by making noise in the water. I don't remember how the story ended, but she stood before my class with her life and extremities, so she was fine.
0:28 for Context, the antelope was chased into the mud bank by African Wild Dogs, the hippo eventually got so tired of the dogs being there that it killed the antelope and yeeted it away from the bank in order to get them to piss off
Right after the video ended on Australia being the land of 'nope', an ad started playing with a child narrating the following line: "Once upon a time there was a land that everyone feared.." and the first thing that came to my mind was Australia 🗿
Hippos being sent from God to punish us probably isn't that far-off. There's this theory that through translations of translations of the Bible (like a game of telephone), the Behemoth, just going off of it's description and literal translations of it's name in the Bible as well as it's various depictions, it's presumed that it's based on a hippo. The Behemoth is described as "eating grass like an ox", "bones like bronze and limbs like iron", "shelters under the lotus plants in the reeds and the marsh", "is not afraid of the turbulent river", and "the [river] Jordan rushes against his mouth" (Jordan just being used as a word to describe a river; something to compare it with that people of the region would be more familiar with). The word "behemoth" also comes from an old Hebrew word for cow or cattle; describing it as a "big cow", again something people would be more familiar with. There aren't as many stories or depictions of Behemoth as it's aquatic-counterpart Leviathan, so it's still speculation. Oh, and the other side of that theory being that Leviathan might be based on a crocodile; a key description of it "having rows of shields along it's back". It would make sense, the crocodile and hippo are natural rivals. EDIT: After reading some of the replies and sensing the general theme, I just wanted to make things clear about me. I have nothing against religion, the only religions I really have a distaste for are the ones that instill fear as well as xenophobia into people and extort money out of people (I would call those groups "cults", but those apart of them don't like that word), I'm also not a fan of religious-organized schools and missions (which is a colonialist tactic to convert low-income families and was originally used to convert indigenous populations; want to read a book so here's a bible, want to eat you have to say grace, want free childcare during the work-week you have to come to church every Sunday, etc.), I was raised Catholic but personally I am agnostic, you can think the bible is a true story or not, you don't have to be an asshole about it if you think it's bullshit, the general idea of the bible is that it's a collection of stories, and all stories and elements of stories are based in some sort of reality. Going back to the example of Behemoth and Leviathan, they were probably just tales used to describe the creatures they were based on and to avoid them; which is generally good advice, learning to recognize and stay away from dangerous animals that will turn you into hamburger meat is very good advice when the average life expectancy was 40. Stories like that were and still are a great way to teach and entertain kids. The bible was also a broad moral guideline for a lot of people, so these stories can also serve as metaphorical examples. While it may seem obvious that you need a thousand rules to figure out that you shouldn't be a dick, if you are a dick about saying how the rulebook is bullshit, then that's why there are rules. Don't kill people, don't rape people (that's not exactly a written rule, but I feel like that's a pretty obvious rule, just don't fucking rape people; don't think that rule had to be written down for people, but oh well), don't steal or lie, don't cheat on your spouse, don't be an asshole but you don't have to just tolerate assholes, I'm not saying you have to follow the bible and ten commandments or any religious texts to be a good person. Just don't be an asshole and you will be a good person. Just try to be a better person than you were yesterday.
There probably is something to that as the Behemoth demon in Shin Megami Tensei games clearly takes some design inspiration from a hippo. Even with the craziest demon, deity, angel, cryptid, fairy, etc. designs in SMT, most of them take some kind design cue from the mythology or folklore they originate from.
I've seen some different Leviathan interpretations. Some make the Leviathan look like a massive Sea Serpent, some the iconic Kraken, others some giant dragon-turtle thing.
Bruh as a practicing zoologist I fucking love your videos you get me and my girl laughing harder than most and I love it’s all facts. Thanks for making life better man. Steve Irwin would be proud as hell of you and your videos keep posting bro
Weren’t Leviathan and Behemoth just other names for ‘Crocodile/Alligator’ and ‘Hippo’? Because Leviathan just meant like.. a type of large aquatic creature? And I’m guessing Behemoth follows a similar nature.
@@SignField Nah, the Leviathan is a demon. Behemoth is a giant creature said to be large enough to consume trees and can only be hid behind mountains. I like to keep an open mind and understand we don't know everything as a species, so I'm sure we haven't encountered the behemoth in modern times. Maybe it went extinct, maybe it's a holy creature, maybe it's a demonic creature, maybe it was the giant sloth, who knows. But I think it's foolish to dismiss it as a hippo.
For the thing about the dolphin milk- maybe people would need to know how it tastes if they were trying to develop a synthetic formula to feed baby dolphins?
When I was in the scouts, I took the mammal study merit badge. We were asked what defined a mammal and as we all know, dolphins are mammals. And being a bunch of dumb adolescents, one guy said that if given the chance, he would milk a dolphin just to see what the milk is like
@@scorpiocarnage1055 Nah. Pretty sure somewhere out there the beginning of dolphin research involved a group of science guys, a late night drunk fest near the aquarium, and someone saying "bro, hold my beer..." and that's how we know what dolphin milk tastes like.
I mean, scientists have been known to eat prehistoric mammoths/bison/animals (or what they think are prehistoric animals) and people dig up ancient bog butter all the time (and ancient Egyptian tomb honey...) Also medieval people ate porpoises so... all I'm saying is there have been many many chances for people to taste dolphin milk with their own mouths. And you know people are that weird.
@@roofs817 because we have evolved to not need to be the strongest or the most sneaky because of our thought organs. Or sum like that idk I didn't study biology and evolution.
"Which probably explains why dolphins are a menace to society. When you spend that much time feeding right next to an asshole its only fair you become one." Hahaha.
"Don't worry ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, be ha-" - get's clapped by pretty much every large predator in South America I agree that capybaras are cute, but I'd say god sent them here, just to suffer. Wait. It's our boy's job to ruin animals, not mine. Guess here's a suggestion for the next video ...
“On a wholesome note Dholes will let the pups eat first because the pack prioritises the weakest and youngest members first” Yep those are from Asia alright
I have to be honest, im glad he switched to a better microphone, one of my few problems of his videos was the PFPSPS he made because the mic was to close to his mouse
Whenever I see something dangerous about Australia im kinda just like: Yep... The best country where I live just had to have the most dangerous creature (besides a fricking hippo cause those are lowkey scary and I don't get scared easlily)
0:02 *"Look Out!! I Think Moto-Moto Likes You."* Me Seeing Olympic Level Swimming Hippo: Jesus Take The Wheel!!!! Also Me Seeing Olympic Level Swimming Hippo: Hippo Phelps Is Trying To Out Do Human Phelps....And I Think Hes 100% Succeeding. X'D
When he said "or 914 kilograms for those of you that use the metric system", my thumb actually went up for some reason and needless to say I liked the video
It's weird how many animals perform..um...bisexual and homosexual acts. Then you always hear ppl say...."that doesn't happen in nature!" as an argument. But apparently it does. Weird.
its bc they just really want to hate what's different , like yknow , what happens with literally every minority ever there's even like some entire species where its all just one sex and they can perfectly make babies without the other sex so like ,, yeah fuck bigots
Speaking of wolf pack hierarchy, turns out we were TOTALLY wrong about that, and basically completely wrong about Wolfpack in general. They don't travel as a family not a pack. The hierarchy is parents > children.
You know I actually like that you upload your TikTok content here, I’ve never had the app but I’m glad good content like this isn’t flushed out in a sea of crap content.
I like it how you said in the beginning you weren’t sure what the hell got that hippo motivated, considering you probably know more about hippos in any of us you should know that they don’t need a reason or any motivation to slap 50 shades of blood out of you
