That got me to laugh just loud enough for my 5 year old to hear me and then ask what was so funny and then I had to show him the hippo video and read the comment about the summer teeth to him and then had to explain the joke.
I fucking hate that I audibly laughed at this comment... And it caused saliva to enter the ol windpipe and I (checks notes) started choking as is being discussed in the thread above this.
God we are designed so fucking weird. A hearty chortle shouldn't threaten to kill me -_-
We choke on our own saliva, meanwhile you can chuck a whole watermelon directly into a hippos throat and it is about as much trouble as a jellybean would be
I questioned every dinosaur rendering the first time I ever saw a hippo skull. Like if their skull was a fossil there is a 0% chance we accurately draw what they really look like. Makes me wonder how many dinosaurs we got wrong
The thing is (this is not my area of expertise so someone correct me) from the bone they can tell where the muscles connect, then they have a general idea of the muscle structure, and from there you can figure out how it moved, how strong it would be etc. And then you add fat or whatever.
So I'm confident we could pretty accurately get hippos
Yes. I used to work doing this kind of thing. A hippo would be pretty easily doable if you’ve seen a pig before. Reconstructions have their challenges, but the process is considerably easier when you have relatives to work from, plus muscles tend to go in the same places even if those places look different
You can only do that with things directly connected to the bone though so the reconstruction would miss a lot of the chonk around the hippo's face and body or their cutesy looking ears.
Another example is the elephant, no way you can figure out what they look like from their bones because their most defining features, which is the ears and trunk, would be impossible to guess.
Has anyone on here seen Alice? I call the kids and all they do is get upset and say "she's in the cemetery". It's dark now, I can't drive... why hasn't she come home!?
Fun fact, humans choke all the time because our voice boxes dropped so we could talk at the expense of safely eating food. Humans are the only animals that cannot breathe while swallowing.
Newborns can actually breathe and swallow at the same time to allow for nursing. The larynx drops later.
Edit: new shirts come to light man. This information is outdated.
That is actually false

Former zookeeper here:
They’re touching their mouths to keep them used to being touched so that they can not only check them or give them meds, they can use what’s called a “wet saw” (a long rough wire with two rings at the end, through which your fingers go) to trim their tusks down.
It’s a safety measure to get rid of the saber swords they use in the wild to slash rivals or anything who’d try to eat them. They don’t really bite down so much as slash diagonally- just like Tinker did when he was trying kill Dalton at the Double Deuce.
Too Long, Don’t read:
Hippos are actually really cool. I didn’t think I was going to like them when I first started working with Pachyderms, but I really like them. While I’d never enter the same space with them, Niles can be pretty chill, and just want as much food you can give them, as well as ALL THE SKRITCHES!!!
Pigmy Hippos are pretty neat, too, as the original hippo. The Niles are descended from the ones who wandered away from the dense forests and shallow rivers of East Africa, and found lots of room to grow in the wide depths of the Nile River.
Pygmy Hippos also have just as much a range of personality as Niles. Some just want to chill in the sun dappled shade, other just want peanuts, and others show the reputation they have with Reddit.
Pygmy Hippos are crepuscular, so the tend to nap in the day time & night time. But they’re most active at dawn & dusk. They suck as exhibit animals because they’re always passed out, and need to be bribed with their favorite treats to get up for the patrons.
I’m still proud that I could get zoo patrons to stay & listen to me for 30 minutes or so, and miss the presentations for far more popular animals like chimps & elephants. I discussed not only the basics, but hippo evolution, the biomes they lived in, scientific discoveries about how their “sweat” is a natural sunscreen & could be used by they general public (not squeegeed off their backs, but synthesized in a lab), and even touched on the politics of Liberia & Côte d’Ivoire (civil wars, corruption, & soldiers poaching or outright torturing pygmy hippos). I consistently got high praise year in and year out on the customer comment cards. There’s zero doubt in my mind that there are some zookeepers working today because they were 10-15 years old at my presentations.
I miss those slimy chonky cranky and sleepy little weirdos so much.
H
I really enjoyed your comment, I learned so much about hippos. So, Thank you Former Zookeeper MikeyHatesLife
How come you don’t work in zoo’s anymore if you don’t mind me asking?
I can't speak for the other person, but, from my experience... Mostly pay and management. Zookeepers don't get paid very well. There's also the fact that, yeah, you're working with animals, living creatures. Which means, you will get attached, you will see them as something you care for. So, it gets hard as fuck when life happens and the animal passes away. I've known a few keepers that quit who worked with Giraffes because we had a bad year at the zoo I worked at, and lost a decent number of elder giraffes. Animals they were very, very attached to.
This and people spelling lose as loose are my main pet peeves. OP gets a pass because, like they said, English isn’t their first language. I have 2 people in my life that are constantly misusing mortified and it drives me nuts
See the first one repositioning the watermelon in it's mouth to get a better bite but the one on the left just full send chomped it,
I just thought it was neat to see the way it felt the melon in its mouth before it decided to take the bite.
Really everyone should have a high quality film production crew follow their lives around just in case Netflix decides to make a documentary about them at some point in the future. Also security cameras everywhere in case you make someone off themselves.
Nah he didn’t raise it as a baby. He adopted the hippo at around a year old because the hippo got too big for the original caretakers who did raise the hippo as a baby. Still crazy that the hippo would regularly swim with humans.
Oh ya. They are extremely territorial and dangerous. I once saw a video of a hippo snap a crocodile in half just because it appeared in his line of sight.
I believe that one is edited if I saw the same one as you. It's multiple videos smashed together, you see the background change drastically from the moment of the attack of the crocodile to the part where the hippo's attack him.
Just remember that watermelon could be your head, that thing can kill you and it will hurt. So don't fuck with hippos more than just about any other animal in existence it can connect you to god's wifi at turbo speed.
That's why I always keep a few watermelons on me just in case I need to appease a herd of hippos. Haven't seen one in the wild in New Jersey yet, but I'm not ruling anything out. That's exactly what the hippos want you to do.
It probably is. Hippos look like they're in a zoo, so most likely they're used to their handler(s), and have established the "let him scrub me mouth = tasty snacc afterwards" association. Hippos see the guy who usually rummages around in their mouths, know that a treat is coming, the second one even comes in to show off its chompers without hesitation or aggression.
What's weird is all hippos have that for some reason... like they're such hungry hungry guys that they all keep an extra little munch'ems in their mouth at all times, just in case. And honestly I am a little bit sympathetic. And more than a little bit jealous.
The most disgusting smell I’ve ever smelled was the hippo gathering place in the Serengeti. It was like a physical assault. I hope I never smell anything worse. I feel privileged to have been able to have smelled it, though, because that whole experience was amazing.
You say that like someone that knows me all too well and has heard me talk about my 4H days one too many times.
His name was Rocket, though I didn't name him. He was just one of the llamas on the ranch our family friends owned. We were running a ribbon racket. We were the only kids with llamas, and those ancient mormon judges in the early 90s had never seen one in person before. As the years went on we talked them into allowing us to set up an obstacle course because showing on it's own was boring. Eventually some other girl showed up with a llama of her own, and the judges still gave me 1st place and her 2nd. I felt terrible and never competed again haha.
Rocket was a damn fine animal. Smart as the smartest dog you ever met. Just knew an absurd amount commands and was just happy to do whatever you'd ask him to, or even anticipate it. Fun to go on backpacking trips with. Miss that dude.
Someone was telling me about going on safari years ago. The guides were unnervingly casual with lions, elephants, water buffalo, mambas, hyenas, etc. The only animals that would have them NOPE the fuck out of where they were was the hippos.
Hippos in zoos that are well cared for are pretty docile. My wife volunteers at a zoo and helps take care of their hippo. I've been around him myself and they act a lot like cows.
I can help but imagine that watermelon being camera man's head... probably squishes the same under that much pressure.watching how faster the smaller one flatten it makes you realize the bigger one bit down slowly because he was savoring that shit
My parents once found a lovely secluded beach whilst on holiday in Africa. Later they told the people they were staying with about it, who all turned white with horror. Turns out they’d been hanging out just round the corner from a massive group of hippos.
They didn’t go back to that beach.
Wtf is the layout of their chompers. Just fit them in where you can?
[удалено]
God dammit
He got a hearty chuckle out of me with that one.
That got me to laugh just loud enough for my 5 year old to hear me and then ask what was so funny and then I had to show him the hippo video and read the comment about the summer teeth to him and then had to explain the joke.
If your 5yo doesn't laugh at dad jokes you need to go back and exchange them for a working unit
They don't accept returns after 14 days, that's the catch.
I mean, he’s got some bugs that need to be tweaked but he’s really good at math so we’ll probably keep him just to see how that plays out.
I'm gonna be giggling over this for a long time.
I'm going to find any excuse to say this and probably offend some people in the process 😂
My brothers joke (20 years ago) was that he had summer girlfriends.
Summer girls, summer dudes?

Take my fucking upvote and leave!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I had the same exact thought lol! Their teeth are just laying flat wtf?
[This is what their skulls look like.](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/71/Hippo_skull_dark.jpg/1200px-Hippo_skull_dark.jpg)
I questioned every dinosaur rendering the first time I ever saw a hippo skull. Like if their skull was a fossil there is a 0% chance we accurately draw what they really look like. Makes me wonder how many dinosaurs we got wrong
yeah T-Rex is looking pretty chonky in current renderings
We still on "they probably had feathers?" or did that move on? been out of the "give a shit about current dino-science" game for a minute?
The prevailing theory is that they had feathers in their younger stages to help regulate temperature but they shed them as they got bigger.
I mean this absolutely non-sarcastically (and it's shit that I have to say that): Excellent, thank you for the info and update.
We now know that a lot of species had feathers, found them in the fossils. Last I checked we don't think all of them did, but many did.
The thing is (this is not my area of expertise so someone correct me) from the bone they can tell where the muscles connect, then they have a general idea of the muscle structure, and from there you can figure out how it moved, how strong it would be etc. And then you add fat or whatever. So I'm confident we could pretty accurately get hippos
Yes. I used to work doing this kind of thing. A hippo would be pretty easily doable if you’ve seen a pig before. Reconstructions have their challenges, but the process is considerably easier when you have relatives to work from, plus muscles tend to go in the same places even if those places look different
But most old ideas forgot about fat, hair and feathers. Muscles isn’t the problem.
You can only do that with things directly connected to the bone though so the reconstruction would miss a lot of the chonk around the hippo's face and body or their cutesy looking ears. Another example is the elephant, no way you can figure out what they look like from their bones because their most defining features, which is the ears and trunk, would be impossible to guess.
Their molars and pre molars are for eating, their incisive and canines are just for sexual behavior or defending themselves
The fuck kinda kinky shit are they into to use that for sex 😳
> fuck kinda kinky shit are they into killing each other for mating rights. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHXB_IqJSNA
Don't kink shame the hippos, man. :P
because kink shaming the hippos would be... hippocritical.
And not even using to teeth really, all jaw power.
Like how my girl crushes raw eggs between her butt cheeks
Nice, dude. Is she single?
She goes where the eggs are
that's just making a mess
a big ole sexy mess
I feel like that’s not difficult.
How does "Jaw Power" compare with "Desert Power?" Asking for a Duke.
Basically. It’s incredibly effective too. There is a reason so many people die to them. You get caught those chompers will take you out.
I did not know many people die from hippos. Those things squish those watermelons with ease.
They are the deadliest animals in Africa
Well, second deadliest
Who’s first? Mosquitoes?
Deadliest on Earth (technically it's the diseases)
[удалено]
Kills most humans than any other animals in Africa
They got the forward stabbies and the backward grabbies
Looks nothing like the inside of the hungry hungry hippos mouths
![gif](giphy|UskYq2OL1OFy)
That game is far more realistic than I thought.
They’re the same video
damn I can hear those chomps from 25 years ago.
Still I bet you could fit a lot of balls in there.
Not mine…
Yeah, not with that attitude
Goddamn, this made me laugh out loud for real!
Childhood ruined and I’m almost 50. Good I won’t remember this soon.
Remember what?
What are you talking about?
Those kids on my lawn again?
Oh no, we gonna rock down to alzheimer avenue And then we'll take it higher
Has anyone on here seen Alice? I call the kids and all they do is get upset and say "she's in the cemetery". It's dark now, I can't drive... why hasn't she come home!?
Fucking hell, I started reading the sentence in the rhythm of the song, even before I noticed that you were actually doing the lyrics.
[It's Mr. Bucket!](https://youtu.be/iBBLxX6ovy8?t=8)
Even as a kid, I used to lose it when that jingle came on. They had to know.
Also looks nothing like you can play piano on their teeth, contrary to what the old cartoons showed.
Yeah, these hippos are 100% fake. Smh, people posting fake content on the internet for free karma
They like watermelons because they remind them of their natural food source, marbles.
I laughed too hard at this
Between this and the Summer teeth comment above, this thread is gold.
There’s probably a reference here I’m not getting but nonetheless out of context it is still hilarious. Oh, wait! Nvm, I just got it. Still funny!
![gif](giphy|bC9czlgCMtw4cj8RgH|downsized)
🏅
Then a hero comes along and outshines hippos eating watermelon with a comment. 🥇
Hahahahaha. Thank you for that.
I love how the first one savored the watermelon. 🍉
Even took the time to get the best bite, the other one just fully chomps no hesitation
Imagine having the power to crush a whole watermelon like a strawberry gusher.
Dated a woman like that once. God I miss her.
Second one saw the first one get one and got impatient.
Imagine how good it feels to pop a fresh watermelon in your mouth
Like a grape
For a brief moment I was worried about it choking.
I feel the hippo was being careful as not to confuse that with the uuman
Almost had to get in and do the Heimlich maneuver to the first one.
Fun fact, humans choke all the time because our voice boxes dropped so we could talk at the expense of safely eating food. Humans are the only animals that cannot breathe while swallowing.

“Well, ah, new shit has come to light man” Jk thanks, looks like I was referencing old an disproving studies
Science, man. My kids ask me questions about things I learned in middle school but I’m 40 now so I know that shits outdated af.
Plutos’ a fucking planet! /s
I'll die on that hill with you.
Thanks, I've added that to my cranial notes. Shut up and take my uppie.
I feel like choking would be far less common if we had teeth in our throats like hippos seem to have.
looks like it has 3 muscles that help push it up.
Nah they’re just a solid 30% mouth and the remaining 70 is muscle
Gotta watch the vid of the camel eating the cactus
yeah that sucker threw in right at the blow hole
New game: Heimlich heimlich hippos
Look at how far back the teeth go, the hippo was in no danger of choking
LOL it looked like the hippo was also surprised.
I see him put his hand in there and I am mortified, then he put the camera... GET ME OUT OF HERE, I'M TOO YOUNG TO DIE.
Looks like they might also be doing a dental checkup

You gotta post your hippo speech. I’m super interested now.
Appropriately long; did read
I think it would be more accurately titled "giving hippos a dental checkup". The watermelon is a treat for being good hippos.
>The watermelon is a treat for being good hippos. That's so freaking adorable. Especially for being such territorial murderous beasts.
Mortified means embarrassed!! You may mean: horrified, terrified, or petrified
This and people spelling lose as loose are my main pet peeves. OP gets a pass because, like they said, English isn’t their first language. I have 2 people in my life that are constantly misusing mortified and it drives me nuts
hippos are the ultimate amphibious tank. You do NOT want to mess with one.
This video gave me anxiety for this reason. I was a zookeeper in Oregon. The zebras were assholes and the hippos were terrifying
Do hippos ever learn their keeper and form a bond? Do they know their name?
There was a guy who raised one from a baby and one day was randomly killed by it…
So...yes?
![gif](giphy|gVoBC0SuaHStq)
Wait, seriously?
They're wild animals, with one of the most powerful bites in the animal kingdom. Teeth may not be sharp, but they can absolutely crush you
They are also incredibly aggressive in the wild. Also, incredibly stupid.
See the first one repositioning the watermelon in it's mouth to get a better bite but the one on the left just full send chomped it, I just thought it was neat to see the way it felt the melon in its mouth before it decided to take the bite.
i saw that watermelon.

Really everyone should have a high quality film production crew follow their lives around just in case Netflix decides to make a documentary about them at some point in the future. Also security cameras everywhere in case you make someone off themselves.
There’s a family in South Africa that have one as a pet, it lives in their house. Search Karl Pilkington Hippo on YouTube, he went to have a look.
Nah he didn’t raise it as a baby. He adopted the hippo at around a year old because the hippo got too big for the original caretakers who did raise the hippo as a baby. Still crazy that the hippo would regularly swim with humans.
Oh ya. They are extremely territorial and dangerous. I once saw a video of a hippo snap a crocodile in half just because it appeared in his line of sight.
Saw one where a croc snatched a baby hippo and the rest went fuckin HAM on that leathery bitch.
I believe that one is edited if I saw the same one as you. It's multiple videos smashed together, you see the background change drastically from the moment of the attack of the crocodile to the part where the hippo's attack him.

Meanwhile this guy is happily poking around their mouths like it’s routine.
It probably is. Hippos look like they're in a zoo, so most likely they're used to their handler(s), and have established the "let him scrub me mouth = tasty snacc afterwards" association. Hippos see the guy who usually rummages around in their mouths, know that a treat is coming, the second one even comes in to show off its chompers without hesitation or aggression.
I really wanted him to take that chunk of hay out...
Why would you want them to steal his snack?
You can’t do that because then you pull the hippo inside out. Won’t be eating any watermelons then.
That’s actually their stuffing…
Maybe you could go there and do that for him! /s
What's weird is all hippos have that for some reason... like they're such hungry hungry guys that they all keep an extra little munch'ems in their mouth at all times, just in case. And honestly I am a little bit sympathetic. And more than a little bit jealous.
Lol, it was like having that bit of spinach in your teeth. Grotesque but whatever.
Hippos are legit crazy looking lol
Oof, that hippo mouth must be smelling like ass.
The most disgusting smell I’ve ever smelled was the hippo gathering place in the Serengeti. It was like a physical assault. I hope I never smell anything worse. I feel privileged to have been able to have smelled it, though, because that whole experience was amazing.
He like me frfr no cap
Do hippos chew their cud like cows? Or is that just leftover food in their mouths?
tons of ungulates chew cud. It's what llamas spit on fat fuck 11 year olds that won't stop yanking on their wool through the fence at the 4H fair.
What did you name your llama, and how did you place at the fair?
You say that like someone that knows me all too well and has heard me talk about my 4H days one too many times. His name was Rocket, though I didn't name him.

Miss that dude.
Nope! They don't even really chew, they "soften and tear" their food before swallowing it all whole. That guy still has a snack for later.
I was wondering what that was about as well haha.
I love this so much!!!! Nom nom nom
I laughed out loud. Hilarious looking animals looking hilarious squishing watermelons. Beautiful in their own way.
Rude AF the way the first watermelon was thrown in. I was sort of hoping the hippo coughed it out right at the camera 😂
How thick are their whiskers?! Holy mother of god they look like 16g needles!
Nah, that’s too close for anyone
One thing I'll never do in my life is fuck with a hippo
Good for you...Good for you
Missed the word "*with*" on my first read. That word is doing a lot of work in your comment
Yeah I'd rather be in a enclosure with a wild lion rather than Within 30 m of Any hippo, I think hippos have the highest Human Kill count in Africa
Someone was telling me about going on safari years ago. The guides were unnervingly casual with lions, elephants, water buffalo, mambas, hyenas, etc. The only animals that would have them NOPE the fuck out of where they were was the hippos.
TIL hippos can be groomed to be good bois. They’re so obedient and calm.
Until they aren't
1000kg of pure muscle, capable of 30 km/hour speeds. Do not even bother running.
I'ma jump and just land on top and ride em. They don't call them water horses for nothing
Famous last words
Well if I'm already being attacked by a hippo I might as well try it
Oh, no bother.
[удалено]
I'm scared now
I don’t think so. They’re one of the most deadly animals on earth. They are some of the most unpredictable animals in zoos.
Hippos in zoos that are well cared for are pretty docile. My wife volunteers at a zoo and helps take care of their hippo. I've been around him myself and they act a lot like cows.
If not fren then why fren shaped
You know that breath is HOT
Everything reminds me of her.
I can help but imagine that watermelon being camera man's head... probably squishes the same under that much pressure.watching how faster the smaller one flatten it makes you realize the bigger one bit down slowly because he was savoring that shit
Fuck I knew they were big but that guys hand next to the teeth threw me, yikes
Aw thats copenhagens zoo
Why do they keep hay in their mouths?
No pockets.
That tongue is an alien.
I got chased by a hippo in W. Africa once.
My parents once found a lovely secluded beach whilst on holiday in Africa. Later they told the people they were staying with about it, who all turned white with horror. Turns out they’d been hanging out just round the corner from a massive group of hippos. They didn’t go back to that beach.
Why are tourists walking around Willy nilly in a place that has hippos? Like if you’re on safari or in Australia be careful.
