I Like ItI Don’t Like It

So plenty of people send us animal stories and videos nowadays -- or at least HuffPost Comedy Editor Alex Leo does -- and this one is pretty amazing. I can't decide which part is the most bizarre, so I'm putting it to a poll, which you can find right below the video.

The video, which is about what is allegedly the world's only tame hippo, was paired with this story about a BBC presenter's encounter with a wild hippo.

WATCH:


Quick Poll

What's the strangest part of this video?

The tame hippo

The fact that the lady shares a bed with a hippo

The fart noise at the end

The fact that there aren't more fart noises throughout the video

And some day we'll be shocked to hear that a hippo killed her owner!

I won't be shocked in the least -- just as I wasn't shocked to hear about the chimp attack on Charla Nash. I was horrified, yes, but not shocked.

Wild hippos are responsible for countless human deaths in Africa. To see one behaving in such a placid way is mindboggling.

"Wild hippos are responsible for countless human deaths in Africa."

I think you are confusing Rhinoceros with hippo.

No, hippos are responsible for far more deaths than Rhinos. Rhino's are very elusive and shy and tend to avoid humans whenever possible.

Hippos are much more aggressive and tend to be near humans more often because of their proximity to water.

No no no. Wild hippos are actually quite dangerous to humans.

No Hippos kill more people than Rhinos or Lions.

No, hippos are responsible for more human deaths than any other animal.

Wow, more foolish people who seem to think that domestication can just suddenly and magically happen. I don't care how "tame" that animal seems, hippos are NOT domesticated animals, they are wild animals, which means that hippo has a MUCH greater chance of flipping out and trampling everyone around it.
