    Natural World: Hippos
    The hippo. A territorial beast that spends most of its time in water. An aquatic mammal that can't swim. A two-tonne hulk that can sprint faster than a human. And a seemingly placid oaf that guards its family with fierce cunning. Using specialist camera technology to get up close and personal with hippos for the very first time, this film follows these animals through the seasons in the Okavango Delta. It reveals that while hippos may be boisterous, aggressive and bold, they are also sensitive, sociable and often comical. An intimate, immersive portrayal revealing a side of hippos never seen - or heard - before.
    Welcome to BBC EARTH! The world is an amazing place full of stories, beauty and natural wonder. Here you'll find 50 years worth of entertaining and thought-provoking natural history content. Dramatic, rare, and exclusive, nature doesn't get more exciting than this.

      Herbivorous poo doesn't smell anywhere near as bad as carnivorous and human poo. This is probably also the reason they don't get diseases from constantly bathing in each others feces.

    Beautiful footage captured here, particularly the underwater cinematography. Such a shame the focus chosen by the expert cameraman is overpowered by overlaid type/subtitles vying for attention. The music is more comical than epic. I'd love to see a different edit with a better story, epic music, narration by Will Lyman or Sir David and no distracting type.

      Anytime u have seen them afloat they're basically using their feet on the surface underneath water. And as the video suggests, they dive in and out to maintain proper breath flow.
