As we toured the zoo, a herbivorous animal launched a fecal attack on us. So what is this creature that is strafing by the clearance gun, in fact, this creature is a hippopotamus. So what kind of stunts does it have, and what kind of history does it have. The reason why we have to be vigilant about animals like hippos when visiting zoos is because many tourists have been attacked by them.
We can see in some videos that the hippopotamus has an amazing bite force, and a keeper throws a watermelon into its mouth, which can effortlessly crush the watermelon. It is enough to prove how powerful his bite force is, and it is worthy of being the largest mouth beast on land. Many people think that although this creature is called a horse, it has nothing to do with horses, but in fact, its history has been more than 55 million years in the process of reproduction.
What many people don't know is that hippos and whales are also related by blood. More than 6 million years ago, they diverged from the same ancestor and began their own marine survival. Later, because the environment was damaged by humans, it was seriously threatened. Scientists have also transferred their research to the hippopotamus, which is highly self-healing and continues to this day.
Hippos are generally 1.5 meters tall and weigh up to 1300 kg. But if the attentive person can observe the legs of the hippopotamus, not the circle that people think of, but an oval shape similar to a large wine barrel. Appearance does not prove anything, and it has real strength, and its bite force is the strongest compared to other animals.
It actually sometimes has a bite force of up to 825 kg, which makes many animals feel frightened. The personality is not so docile, more prone to violence and has a strong sense of territory. If you touch their turf, they are likely to attack you. In some large carnivores, adult hippos use amazing bite force to attack a class of creatures, which is the Nile crocodile.
