Your Life as a Hippo 

Just a narrative device

I was about to google that.

​@@Jamestolandis the next 1 bout crocs?

Just like all the other mammals that,.....change sex. Uh huh.

@plendido9536 Hey, Clownfish do it xD (i know they're not mammals, but still)

And then eats the wildebeest you just got

@@TrainLizard they r herbivore

​@@SK-ij6ngnot fully

@@SK-ij6ng yeah, herbivores CAN eat meat if they want to in small quantities, and hippos are especially known to do this because they wake up every day and choose violence

@@brokenray6525 i only see them chewing living stuffs, they dont actually eat it do they?

Glad you enjoyed!

Crocodiles: man those giant dinosaurs were annoying to deal with it. Hopeful the mammals aren't that bad. Hippos: OH, HELLO THERE!!!

Don't forget about the man walking barefoot in the middle of the night in the swamps of Florida, messing with alligators/crocs (Fishingarrett)@@starmaker75

​@@starmaker75 Madusup law: "Given enougth time, crocodiles have a evolutionary tendency to aways evolve into the biggest creature in their current enviromment "

Hippos are the wrong side of town

Well to be fair they did choose to live there

Noice

As well as an extra 1000% grieving all other animals in a 100 light-year radius.

Guatov enters chat hippo leaves chat

Bro Gustave does NOT have a winning matchup against most adult hippos, especially on land. In water, the average hippo is still just too much.

@@Brandon-br7tc he's still killed adult 2 hippos so hippos avoided him

@@unifiedhorizons2663 he’s never reportedly killed 2 adult hippos

​@@Brandon-br7tche still hunted hippos, whether they were adults or subadults doesnt matter that much. Gustav is still a water dragon.

I will drink you

Glad I could help!

Just remember while you are one of the strongest animals in Africa you are not the strongest. Elephants won't hesitate to put you in your place

@@kristianschuff1723 Lucky for elephants they're cool dudes. No reason for me to mess with em.

@@thegreatgrapehippo1614 ever see a bull elephant in musk which can last for months They aren't chill

I just did the same 😅

Thank you! Glad you enjoy them!

Oh, that's what they were! Thank you for clearing that up for me!

Hippos are only facultative omnivores. They primarily eat plants and have to to eat plants for the bulk of their diet and can only eat small quantities of meat or they get sick because their digestive system isn’t built for large meat quantities.

@@fishyfishyfishy500akabs8 you know there are reports of hippos actively blocking river ways to kill wildebeest right? Plus, what’s the point of their jagged teeth except racking up a kill count?

@Skyler517 Yes, that's why I say facultative omnivores, they certainly eat meat but they are limited in how much they can ingest. There's also a good amount of sightings where hippos kill but don't eat what they kill. They still have a leg up on animals like those said wildebeest though because they are actually adapted to kill. They ain't omnivores in the way humans are where we can eat large quantities of meat without getting sick. Their stomach pH for example is higher (less acidic) than pigs for example. Low stomach pH is important as while meat is super easy to digest and can be digested by even some of the most obligate herbivores, the problem is that it often carries with it some amount of pathogens that need be destroyed by a sufficiently powerful digestive system.

​@@MemezndreamzThe tusks are for battles against other males and fighting predators, and hippos are highly territorial, they tend to kill anything that gets to close to their waterways

@@alejandroelluxray5298 whatever the case is. I want hippos to be shown eating meat. Facultative is a very weird balance between herbivores and omnivores.

HIP/PO 🥲🤚

Thank you!

I love the simplicity of the animation it’s very endearing

Thank you! Hopefully soon haha

Same!

In swedish we call them "flodhäst" which means river horse so sorta similar

Thank you!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate the support!!

That's also the meaning in Greek, Hippo is horse in Ancient Greek.

W's

Thank you! More to come!

But we know so Little about them

@@elhombredeoro955 oh

Thank you!

​@@Jamestoland Me too

Thank you! I appreciate all the support

I don't think we have any proof any crocodile hunting adult male hippos Females maybe if you believe the Gustave claim

Thanks! Some good ideas, want to do all of them, just gonna take some time

Cool thanks

Glad you enjoyed!

Possibly…
