They aren't exactly what I'd call playful. I mean, I stood there for a good 45minutes and hardly witnessed much except for a few poo sprayings and a half-assed attempt to stand up (only to sit back down again because it was too much effort). But there's something about watching a hippo go about his business that hypnotises you. Having said that, it could just be the fumes from their flatulence getting to your head and making you high. Not sure.I was lucky enough to see a couple get into a bit of a stosh. Then I got to see some action. The massive jaw on one of them opened up 180 degrees or something ridiculous, and he went for the other guys' nose. But of course, in true hippo style, the other guy burrowed his head under water & lay back down again. No use wasting energy when you could be bathing in sewage.
