Why Did The Hippo Cross The Road?

Why Did The Hippo Cross The Road?

A HUNGRY hippo terrified a group of children by racing towards them in broad daylight. The normally nocturnal animal – who has been nicknamed Scarface by locals – stopped traffic when it brazenly crossed the road to graze. As the large hippo reached the bank, metres away from the children, they swiftly fled from the tree and ran towards parked cars. The unexpected animal visitor appeared unconcerned by all the attention, and continued on its exploration of the town.  Although behaving rather tamely in the video, hippos, which can weigh up to 8000 pounds and can gallop at 29 kilometres per hour, are often prone to aggressive behaviour.  The video was featured on the YouTube channel of the safari animal app and website, Tracking the Wild.
