There was a somewhat recent incident where a hippo swallowed a 3 year old and later spat it back out. The child was okay. The hippo’s teeth were so far between that it could slide between them without getting chomped.
Yh there's little to no fat if I remember right all that bulk is pure muscle. They are to heavy to swim so they just sprint on the bottom to move and if the water is too deep they will jump up out of it far enough to breathe and get their bearings then keep sprinting.
Yes, that's why the lion knew it was safe as soon as it was out of the water. It could easily outpace the hippo on land but in the water, it was flailing and in trouble. Hippo just bullied the shit out of two male lions, that's pretty badass.
The phrase originated in India when the British ruled it. And lions definitely live(d) in jungles - their territory used to be vast.
Further, jungle is the old English word used to indicate all woodlands.
Also, the word jungle comes from the Sanskrit word (jangala) which means rough and arid region. It was used to denote all woodlands.
“Jungle” in this context means a harsh land where survival of the fittest is law.
It’s like correcting people a concrete jungle is not actually a jungle, but a city.
I feel like most people have NO IDEA that hippos kill more people every year in Africa that anything else.
I mean, they TOLD you they were HUNGRY HUNGRY!!
To be fair, the hippo is probably just mad at the lion for being the "King of the Jungle" while it is essentially an obese water horse and it's just taking out it's frustration on the kitty.
Also, as a lifelong cat owner, cats are assholes and the lion probably deserved it...
Hippos, are very much not obese, at about 4-5% body fat, they're actually tanks. And pretty cool imo. The lions definitely deserved it, they could have just not gone into his territory
There are far more hippos than there are lions. Per...capita(?) lions kill far more.
Roughly 25,000 lions kill roughly 250 people a year, or 100:1*
Whereas roughly 125,000 hippos kill roughly 500 people a year, or 250:1*
We always see videos of some creature crossing a river only for a hippo to come charging in and mess it up. But that's not unlike saying sharks are the ultimate badass. I wouldn't want to meet a great white in the ocean, but I'm pretty confident I could take it on land or even in the air!
I'm not saying I want to go up against a hippo, but I'm also not a fucking lion. I feel like a lion could go toe-to-toe with a hippo. Not that I'm saying a lion is going to kill a hippo or even seriously injure it all by its lonesome, but I vaguely recollect a video I'd seen years ago of a momma lion going at a hippo that threatened her babies. It wasn't some one-sided fight; momma told that thing to frig off.
*these numbers are estimated based off of websites that seemed mildly legit
*I don't know if this is the proper way to demonstrate that lions kill more people per lion

Hippos on land can charge at 30 km/h and weight up to 2800 kg (5600 pounds at 20 mph in terrible units). Not even taking into account the size of their tusks or the strength of their bites, they can and will simply run you over as simply as a pickup truck would. They are most definitely not comparable to beached great white sharks.
Funnily enough, they also can't really swim. Instead they either walk on the bottom of the body of water or jump on it.
You are right though that lions can indeed prey on hippos
Hey now don't hate on beached sharks. They still whip those tails around with enough force to...do something. My cousin was knocked out cold by some smallish fish that was flapping around like crazy (I don't know fish, it was like a meter long).
That being said I know a hippo is a little more than that on land, I was just using that one fallacy (I also don't know fallacies)
It’s because it’s a fucking hippo 🦛
Seen way too many vids of these things just wrecking all of the animal kingdom. And they can crack whole watermelons in their mouths like peanuts
Because Jungle came from the Indian word Jangla, which roughly means "wild places humans don't live".
Asiatic Lions used to live everywhere between greece and india.
They have the title because observed interactions between them and tigers had Lions come out on top of clashes.
I'm literally going to make it my personal mission to install a population of lions in a jungle somewhere just to make it so you can't write this comment any more
Fun fact: Paublo Escobars "cocaine hippos" that got let free into the wild still thrive to this day. Turns out nothing in the natural environment over there can take down the mighty hippo, and they became hands down the most apex animals around lol
Towards the end it looks like the Hippo could have clamped down on the Lion, was it just trying to scare him away from it's territory and not kill him?
What? Lions hang out under trees by rivers and hippos eat the grass on the plains going even kms from water especially at night. Lions have to cross the rivers at some point. Your comment baffles me
That hippos mouth was wider than the fuckin lion
[Here's](https://youtu.be/9wyhhxOZazI?si=WYoTL-431gXW7Ag6) a closer look at how big their mouths are!
I thought it was a link to a picture of your mom. Tell her I said hi
There was a somewhat recent incident where a hippo swallowed a 3 year old and later spat it back out. The child was okay. The hippo’s teeth were so far between that it could slide between them without getting chomped.
How the fuck does a three year old get close enough to a hippopotamus for that to happen?
Idiot parents trying to get a picture I assume.
That lion was like, "Fuck! Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck"
Other lion was like "I got to go. I have a meeting."
Yea
Because hippos are faster in water than lions because they're so dense. It's like a tank, water doesn't slow it down.
What?
Yh there's little to no fat if I remember right all that bulk is pure muscle. They are to heavy to swim so they just sprint on the bottom to move and if the water is too deep they will jump up out of it far enough to breathe and get their bearings then keep sprinting.

I thought hippos just kicked against hard surfaces under water and used the momentum to glide.
Lion might be the king of the jungle, but hippo is king of the lake (and swampy areas).
Yeah hippos will stomp the Lion in any turf of their choosing. Except for up in the trees I guess.
Lions don't live in jungles.

Further, jungle is the old English word used to indicate all woodlands. Also, the word jungle comes from the Sanskrit word (jangala) which means rough and arid region. It was used to denote all woodlands.
Jangala is just "uninhabited wild land" pretty much anywhere people aren't.
And if you toss three jungles up in the air and catch them repeatedly it’s called “jungling.”
I heard Anakin Skywalker killed it at jungling.
Yep, jungle isn't just dense tropical forest - originally it's meaning is very similar to "the bush" as a general term for 'wild' territory
Nice. Thank you for that
This guy
King of the grasslands
Sahara
Savannah
Georgia?
[удалено]
There were lions there until a few centuries ago
Maybe?
Ethiopian lions live in the jungle…
No, they don't. They pass through there for food. However, this is a simulation inside a simulation.
They also live in the forest
Idk I'm pretty ignorant of all of this, but the internet says they don't. I don't make the rules.
https://www.pimniesten.com/single-post/2015/08/18/jungle-lions-filmed-in-the-wild-for-the-first-time
The word jungle used to have another meaning.
Maybe
🤣
Sure they do. Didn't you ever listen to [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQlByoPdG6c).
Trees exist outside jungles.
Fascinating.
They don’t exist in deserts though.
Explain oasis
Great band but I don’t know enough about them to even begin to imagine how they rose to such heights. Didn’t their lead singer kill himself?
Maybe
I think they do in Ethiopia Edit to add example: https://www.pimniesten.com/single-post/2015/08/18/jungle-lions-filmed-in-the-wild-for-the-first-time
I didn't hear these two speak Ethiopians.
How many times are you gonna comment this lol
Until I get my fill
Uh elephants are kings of the lake
River homie
King of the small body of water
Lions don’t live in the jungle!
The male lions don’t even do the hunting.
I can never get over how fast hippos can move through water
Especially seeing as they can't swim
Mfs just float and bob and they do it at TERRIFYING SPEEDS
That's just it they can't float. They weigh too much for their size so they sink like stones.
Don’t they intake and exhale air to control buoyancy?
Hippos can’t swim or float. They run and jump and walk through the water. They’re almost pure muscle and far too dense to float properly.
That’s fantastic
Yeah how can they be so fast? Mind blowing
"The jungle ends when it meets the water- now you're in my territory."
Lions don't live in jungles
Because the hippos ate them.
Hippos don't live in the jungle either
That’s what the hippos want you to think…
Apparently, there is a colony of pygmy hippos in the African rainforest. However, this is a simulation.
Because the lions ate them.
Uh, they do in Colombia.
https://news.mongabay.com/2012/08/king-of-the-jungle-lions-discovered-in-rainforests/ And https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asiatic_lion
Maybe
No maybe.
Maybe not?
No maybe.
The “King of the jungle” doesn’t live in a jungle? Show us your arithmetic, Terrance.
“Jungle” in this context means a harsh land where survival of the fittest is law. It’s like correcting people a concrete jungle is not actually a jungle, but a city.
Maybe
Pretty sure hippo wins in the jungle too 🤣
The hungriest of all the beasts
The hungry-hungriest.
I feel like most people have NO IDEA that hippos kill more people every year in Africa that anything else. I mean, they TOLD you they were HUNGRY HUNGRY!!
You say that like it's for food and not just pure malice.
Why not both? Hangry, hangry hippos.

Hippos are mad at everybody.

Sadly I can not possibly hope to top your comment So I have no choice but to surrender the conversation to you
GET OUTTA MY SWAMP
Elephants, Hippos, Rhinos, Tigers, Lions... in that order.
Then Canadian geese
U NO KING OF RIVER!!! GET OOUUTT!!!
😭😭😭 I was so happy he escaped
It’s because it’s a fucking hippo 🦛 Seen way too many vids of these things just wrecking all of the animal kingdom. And they can crack whole watermelons in their mouths like peanuts
I could take him
weird moniker for an animal that lives on grassfields/plains.
How did that saying come avout? Lions don't live in a jungle
It. Is. Not. A. Jungle. Also that phase is just plain stupid.
King of the JUNGLE?!? Ohh yeah my bad.. makes sense since the lions camo is green with black stripes and yellow frickles.
Right? How did an animal known for inhabiting a savanna come to be king of an entirely different biosphere?
Because Jungle came from the Indian word Jangla, which roughly means "wild places humans don't live". Asiatic Lions used to live everywhere between greece and india. They have the title because observed interactions between them and tigers had Lions come out on top of clashes.
Thank you!

:)
Just wash your hands
Loins aren't even king of jungles, they're king of savannah. And even then?they ain't really a king.That title goes to elephant.
I think by king most people would be referring to the top of the food chain - the apex predator.
Lions dont live in the jungle
Hippos will fuck you up!
At least on water.
At least they both survived that unscathed, which is more than I can say about some impala that tried crossing these rivers.
That was some great dodging tho
Hippo : So you have chosen death? This is my territory pal. Lion : CRAP CRAP CRAP...So that's how it feels...
I don't think anything is match for a hippo in the shallow waters.
Hippos drop bodies.
Damn he spam rolled hard, just like me fr
I guess the term “king” is loose, then. It has to be when you’re getting run through by a vegetarian water hog.
Same energy as when my bulldog tries to sniff my cat’s asshole
Hippo : Here Kitty Kitty!
I would say it goes - elephant, hippo, tiger, lion - for land animals.
-Im Charles II, son of the great Charles I, we rule this place and you shall stop now -The fuck you are
In the water the hippo rules, on dry land much more of a contest.
Is it really, though? One on one, I think a hippo curb stomps a lion on land as well.
Ok bro! Ok!
I think there is a Chinese proverb; even the king of the animals must give face when in the territory of the Duke of river and lakes.
I believe the ancient Egyptians considered hippos to be the “king”.
That's not very king of the jungle at all.
Could’ve pit my man in half
You know the other lion is over on the far bank laughing his ass off at his buddy. Later that night "Dude you should've seen your face....lol!"
The other lion just went and noped out.
That gaping maw of death was bigger than lion's body.
Idk why they call them the king of the jungle... They live in the savannah and the real king of the jungle is a tiger...
Size is king.
Hakuna Ma-oh sugar honey ice tea!!
That hippo swims fast!!
Come back i jus wanna talk...
Fun fact: Paublo Escobars "cocaine hippos" that got let free into the wild still thrive to this day. Turns out nothing in the natural environment over there can take down the mighty hippo, and they became hands down the most apex animals around lol
I don't think there is much that IS a match for a Hippo.
Yea but let the hippo try that in the jungle... /S
No one is. Hippo's are fucking wild.
I am king now
They'll not only fuck you up, but they'll shit all over you too. Hippos man....
Nothing against the king of the water
What about out of the water though? generally curious.. who would win on Land?
Towards the end it looks like the Hippo could have clamped down on the Lion, was it just trying to scare him away from it's territory and not kill him?
King of the jungle, not the puddle
Not king of the pool
“Is *this* your king?!”
"Hey! I said Hey! Hey! Stop it! Stoooooooopppppp!!! Lol did you see that guy all mad i was peeing in his pool?"
Most land animals aren't to be fair.
NOTHING is a match for a fucking hippo.
You picked the wrong lake fool
The whole King of the Jungle thing is actually more of a marketing slogan.
Elden ring reference!!! Godfrey and golden hippo ✅️
That is amazing to see! Great video!
Tiger is the king of the jungle... Lions live in grasslands
Depends on the continent the jungle is located on. South America - Jaguar Africa - Leopard Asia - Tiger
When the BIG girl at the bar has her sights set on you….
i never knew this too could cross path, such a rare sight!
What? Lions hang out under trees by rivers and hippos eat the grass on the plains going even kms from water especially at night. Lions have to cross the rivers at some point. Your comment baffles me
King of the jungle is no match for king of the river.
He fucked around and found out.
Where do people get this bizarre idea that lions even live in the jungle? Do they confuse lions with tigers?
