Wild life is unpredictable. Tourists embark on exciting safari adventures in different parts of the world, and the lucky ones encounter majestic creatures going about their day in the wild.
In a recent incident at Manioni Private Game Reserve in South Africa, a group of tourists had an unforgettable experience. Tourists, enjoying a safari in their vehicle, came across a giant hippopotamus, but not in a good mood.
Seeing the tourists, the animal got angry and chased their vehicle. At one point, the giant was caught with the vehicle, opened its mouth and almost cut the tracker seat.
The video was shared on YouTube by a channel called Latest Sightings and has gone viral with over 40,000 views and many comments.

A description of the YouTube video reads, “Even the hippo appeared to be surprised by the ranger’s driving skills and stopped in his tracks. The hippo then watched as the vehicle slowly reversed, as if the angry bull was too stunned to continue charging.
Reacting to the video, one YouTube user commented, “This is why people should always give wild animals like hippos their space.” Another user wrote, “Reminds me of that Jurassic Park arcade game when you get chased by a T-Rex.”
Another user commented, “It’s scary how hippos randomly charge at you even when you seem calm and uninterested.”
“Hungry hippo,” said another user.
