Natural World: Hippos – Africa’s River Giants
David Attenborough reveals the life of the hippopotamus as never seen before. With incredible underwater footage, this film delves into the world of the hippo – an animal that cannot swim yet is utterly dependent on water. In Botswana’s Okavango delta, hippos face an unparalleled challenge – deep floodwaters dry to dust in a matter of months. In one extraordinary season, the team go beneath the surface to see them protect their families and face their enemies as they deal with the drought. Going far beyond their dangerous reputation, the show discovers the true nature of the hippo, an animal that is compassionate, sensitive and highly intelligent.

“Hippos can’t swim” moving like a bullet through the water though
Most dangerous animal on the African continent (after homo sapiens) and they are herbivores. 😮 Edit : MOSTLY herbivorous but they can digest meat.
Hippos are so cool!
They’re the landscape architects*
That looks like swimming to me.
Wish this had told me how long the hippo can hold their breath for
