Man escapes a raging hippo in a speedboat

Briefly News previously reported that imagine being chased down by a hippo in the water and remaining calm as you speed away. A man in a recent viral TikTok post even smiled while that happened to him.

Hippos may seem friendly, but they can be deadly. So the man was lucky to be in a speedboat at the time.

According to Kidadl, hippos are fascinating creatures well adapted to their semi-aquatic lifestyle. While they may not be the fastest swimmers, they can still move at a speed of 5 mph (8 kph) underwater and even walk underwater. On land, they can run at impressive speeds of up to 18.6 mph (30 kph).
