Hippos Are Terrifyingly Fast Swimmers – This Is Extremely Scary

This video shows the moment a hippo burst through the surface of the water after pursuing a speedboat that was moving through Lake Kariba in Zimbabwe. There’s nothing like getting too close for comfort when you’re far away from land!

We can only assume he was a hungry hippo because boy is he rapid! Check this out.

All I’m thinking about is who would win in a swim race between this hippo and Michael Phelps – what d’you reckon? We’d love to hear from you in the comments.
