hippo eating watermelon

A jaw-dropping video showing a hippo effortlessly crunching whole watermelon in one bite will be the most amazing and terrifying thing you will see all day.

 

These hungry hippos enjoyed an especially juicy snack, munching down whole watermelons which they smashed to pieces with their powerful bite.

The video has been getting loads of attention on social media and will blow your mind… its equally amazing and terrifying. The footage shows a man in Japan giving hippos a not-so-little treat.

He plops a whole watermelon into the hippo’s open mouth, and just like that the hippo smashes it into pieces in one simple bite.

Watch the video below:

Although they may look fairly placid in this video, hippos are extremely dangerous and responsible for more human deaths in Africa than any other wild animal.

They are the world’s third-largest land mammal, with males weighing around 3,300 lbs.

Although hippos are herbivores, their jaws and teeth resemble a giant hole punch and can hit humans clean in half.

They are also very difficult to escape from, as they can reach running speeds of 30 miles an hour. Still, the best thing to do if attacked by a hippo is to sprint to the closest cover or climb a tree.
