A hippo tries to rescue a gazelle from the jaws of a crocodile.
They kill more humans than crocodiles and sharks put together, every year. True fact.
And giving the gazelle CPR? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
I suppose then if he started to eat it, he was giving it emergency surgery?
this hippo knew this gazelle from log time ago I saw them together in a bar in africa .

I saw a t-shirt once that said:
"If is tourist season why can't we shoot them?" i loved it!
You would. Only idiots don't understand that the tourist keeps most towns going by leaving money behind so badly needed for the local economy. Many Towns would go under if it wasn't for the tourist. Live and learn.
By Keen Eye 1160930802 Reply Spam [+1] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveWell i think you wanted to go to the "wikipedia" but somehow arrived here... let me enlight you:
There are websites about general information were you can learn and then there are other for fun where people go watch some videos and have a laugh reading, sometimes stupid, sometimes amazingly smart comments.
This is one of the last which means you don't come here to "learn" just to have a good time.
If you have followed me so far now leave this site and go back to "wikipedia" and search after:
1.irony
2.sarcasm
3.humor
4.funny
5.laugh
Ok once you find out what that is, you can come back any time, chill down, and not take people's comments in a humorous website so seriously ;-)
toursists... if they get the money to travel, then that means they are from the rich countries. The same ones who exploited the south countries. then these poor countries got even poorer... Ironic isn'it...? Now they need the exploited people to come visit them once in a while... to get little money back from the exploition.
Live and learn...:)

By satanic verses 1164412569 Reply Spam [-2] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI am from So. Calif. the L. A. area. Let me leave you with this, if you say you don't believe someone, it is usually because you lie a lot. People that lie a lot have a tendency to believe others do, so they don't believe some one else story. What happen is a matter of public record but I am glad to put this behind me. Maybe I am overly sensitive to this because it hit close to home. So, even if you don't believe some one, never let the other person know it. It makes you come out as a liar. That is why I never get in any debated with any one that I don't believe or that don't believe me. I fond out the best way to hit them is in the pocketbook so I always tell them if they don't believe me put up some real money, let's start wit $250,000 and work our way up from there. I also tell them to put up their house, etc,,, since they are so sure. In over 60yrs, I had only one person put up and that was only for $10,000 and he lost. I wish you the best and if you are ever in the So. Calif. area, I will buy you a beer.
By Keen Eye 1161014869 Reply Spam [-2] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveOk this last post of yours is actually what makes the most sense you are getting better.
I'm sorry if i don't believe you (and you might think i'm a liar if you want) but i don't usually believe people writting in internet websites were you can virtually be a unknown and therefore whoever you want: tall, fit, blue-eyed, rich,... one example:
there is one drummer called Mike Portnoy that is amazing, he plays in the progresive band "Dream Theater and has won 12 years in a row the title "best progresive drummer" and is considered one of worlds top, well if you read the comments in this site in a vid of him, he is just an "amateur", "beguiner", "loser without talent" and there is about 100 people writting that they are better drummers than he is... Should i believe them?
If one profesional driver makes a race, sudenly everyone is a driving expert and knows everithing better and so on.
well, that's why i don't believe most of people in this kind of websites.
One day i go and tell about a funny t-shirt (and is a real t-shirt, i didn't make it up) and somebody i don't know calls me idiot and tells me "how good is tourism for the world" (actually can be quite bad too destroying paradises, once Java island was breathtaking, now looks like Mallorca, Miami, or Cancun and since international companies keep the money, the people is as poor as before if not worse and then beguins the drug and sex tourism, check thailand, indonesia, cuba, dominican republic, brazil, etc)
ok, back to the point.
then i tell you it was a joke and THEN you come with the "loved one" story and tell me to go watch porn sites... what would you think? I think: Yeah, right, and you are probably the best drummer/car racer in the world, you spent a weekend in a UFO and your great dad is Santa Claus...
If is a true story then i'm sorry for your loved one and hope that it never happens again to anyone you know nor to anyone i know
But appart of that the T-SHIRT WAS FUNNY and if i see it some time i'll buy it ;-)
lol lol lol lol lol lol
(if is a true story why you came up with all this "tourism is good" bullshit?)
And the rest of us will follow

By R0undEy3 1166518888 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveHippos accidentally kill people because the human scum get in their way. Hippos run into the water if they are startled, anything in their way will get trampled. Hippos would avoid humans if they could, but a lot of idiots go into the hippos rivers so they deserve to be killed. The hippo was helping the gazelle because its a fact hippos dont like crocodiles. Some crocodiles are crushed in hippo jaws since the hipos are very territorial.
Comment by: wiseman66.
True fact!
do you know how many crocodiles there are and how many sharks there are.
ex: 15 hippos 30 crocodiles 60 sharks
the graph is going to be like that and sharks kills more humans than hippo
oh yeah ppl dont be angry if an animal kills a human its just the food chain their following
think that a hippo is harmless and they find out the hard way they are not. even the average idiot knows to stay away from a shark or croc.

By wiseman66 1157636144 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI agree that going out into the wild where there is a dangerous animal is a risk, but even if a human encroaches into an animals terrority and the human is attacked i'd much rather see the animal be killed. I don't think anyone deserves it, they may be stupid or taking a risk.

By ssssssacrosanct 1157717212 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI know its sad when a person dies when he goes into the animals territory, but its a fact. People will never learn, that why maybe death or injury can persuade other people to not make these mistakes. Animals need to be respected. Let me put it this way, in Florida a lot of alligators are killed or relocated, niw why should this happen?? The alligators were there a long time before humans ever arrived, so who is the actual nuisance? Its the people invading the animals territory. I dont have much sympathy for people like that.

The buck with the long bent horns are in fact sable and not impala as suggested, although the buck caught by the crocodile is an impala doe. The original clip is much longer and clearer. Hippo are responsible for more human fatalaties than any other mammal in Africa.
By mfane 1166992528 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveSometimes animals are kinder and more courageous than lots of people today. Everyone is too busy watching out for their own butts.
Like the comments....So he was seen at a bar with the gazelle? Glad to know his name, "Steve". But his little gazelle babe looks a little too young to be in a bar, I think. Or do gazelle's get special bar dispensations? They do look like an odd couple.
By the way, hippos don't just kill humans accidentally; they do it on purpose too. Like many humans do to each other. But let's not pit humans versus animals. As crazy as I am about animals and as doubtful as I am about the human race, animals should not be allowed to kill humans at whim. Unless it's my ex-father-in-law. niteowl
How can you doubt that hippo helping his friend? Just because he is a hippo and his friend is a deer doesn't mean they should not help each other, just watch the movie lion king and see that it happens all the time with various different animals helping other species!

By toturaod2 1163965009 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveOf what anyone says, the acts of the Hippo are for obvious reasons. Don't be so dense. If the hippo wanted to eat it, it would have. Animals sometimes lose children in the wild, and this creates a type of instinct within them that makes it so that when it sees a young animal in danger, on rare occasions (even if the animal isn't even of the same species) it will try to save it. They know that it is to lose a child and if you don't believe that animals have emotions also, well, then you must think that you're the S**t , huh? But then again, even if you were shown more videos of this nature, you would still deny them as being truth. In the end, you lose the argument always. Set aside your inate superiority complex and just except that humans aren't the only ones that "feel". Go ahead and reply with whatever negative response you will, I really don't give a S**t .
By ASydReign 1160819676 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI'm studying evolution in university. This type of thing is unheard of in nature. Altruistic behaviour is only found within species only to increase the chance that their relatives (with common genes) will survive. Animals in nature are selfish and only care about passing down their genetic material and making sure it survives. That is why this video is truely fascinating.

However that hippo was almost enraged at the crock for taking the younger one. Could it be that it felt emotions of anger and sadness twords the dying gazell you tell your thoughts, but all creatures are able to feel and learn.

Really?
the funny thing is that scientist say animals have no intelligence not because it's true but because it does not support their theory of evolution wich by the way there is NO actual prove whatsoever to support it. It's just a theory
Wouldn't the theory of evolution apply to humans as well? Wouldn't the same scientists who claim that animals have no intelligence have to say the same about themselves so as to not violate evolution? Which scientist is that dumb?

By maximus448 1157385119 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThe animal kingdom is an amazing place... Possibly this hippo lost one of her own young... and CPR isn't hard to work out, if you sufficate something, try to give it air any way you can. I have seen footage also of Lionesses saving the cubs of cheetahs and other young pups where it was common place to assume they would just eat them. There was a documentry a while ago where a lioness who lost her own cubs saved and brought up 2 cheetah pups from a pack hyenas. This is an amazing video, too bad it was too late for the gazell. IT WASN'T TRYING TO EAT IT! How do I know this, I've seen this behaviour with lots of animals spread wide accross the animal kingdom first hand. Animals have brains and emotions too ... get over yourselves already.
By stupidgarbageweldman 1157384457 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down Removei love this vid, we all have an instinct to survive, the hippo walks round all day breathing, so i knows it has to do it to survive, ta da its learnt cpr!!! the animal kingdom has been around longer than we have so its had more time to learn, and there methods are always hardcore, the state the world is in we could probably learn something from them......we are all different and we too drink from the same 'water hole'( plus the rewards for helping people are obvious - the croc was the one on his own and it was the hippo that had all the birds on his back........

By PHANTOM LOADER 1157334025 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveA hippo is strictly vegetarian. It was definitely trying to help the gazzelle. Hippos dont like crocodiles and dont tolerate them in their territory. The hippo should have bit the crocodile in half since a hippo can crush a 15 foot crocdile in its jaws.
By wiseman66 1157376045 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveThe liklihood is that the hippo was pissed at the croc for making noise or being in his territory. Hippos are INCREDIBLY territorial. It looked FAR more like he was chasing the gazelle *away* from the water. I also sincerely doubt he was 'reviving' it, i think it is far more commen practice to lick an animal to get it breathing, i've not seen mouth to mouth used....
By Clannlir 1157366317 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI think the hippo wanted to kill it, if it did why didn't he eat it. Or take it away with him. He probably was trying to revive it, but didn't realize he was killing the impala. As soon as he did, he gave up and left. Or maybe the hippo didn't kill it, but that the impala got scared to death.
By red wing 1157375153 Reply Spam [+0] Moderate Up Moderate Down RemoveI cant see the video on this computer.. but i saw the documentary that had this clip, and the hippo didnt kill the impala. The impala was mortally wounded by the croc... It died from the croc not the hippo.
