Kudos to the team that created spy hippo. I was amazed to see the spy-in-the-water cam actually have moving legs, and the ear wiggles just set me over the edge. Brilliant!

[@danielwilliams8346]

The fish’s relationship with the hippos is CRAZY!!😮

[@Thegaminghippo-zy1th]

Hippos are my absolute favourite animal because they are cute and they way they fight is so epic

[@CarolynM-vm4uz]

The interdependence of different species is fascinating. Thank you for your work to show us this magnificent footage.❤️👏

[@MarcRoy-lq2tp]

100%💯

[@Natureindica]

Hippos are amazing animal. Looking dangerous and beautiful at the same time 😊

[@supertrike5893]

They are dangerous and buetifull at the same time

[@cerovk6000]

Beautiful? 😂 questionable

[@jakebonham4496]

So are there two Spy Hippos? because most of the shots are of the Spy Hippo looking at actual Hippos.

[@woahblackbettybamalam]

There will be more soon seeing as a breeding pair of spy hippos are now in the wild

[@troll-fx2zc]

Good question Jake.

[@JDjee5]

Probably a drone.

Hippos hired spy human to spy on spy hippos so yeah

[@spiteful_blaze6665]

Spy hippo is cute.❤

[@user-dc1dr9kr8x]

I feel we don't see the best moments of spy hippo.......unedited spy hippo could be humorous

[@spiteful_blaze6665]

@@user-dc1dr9kr8x Yes! That would be great to see.

[@bullwinkle60]

Bring snacks. He seems available.

[@3winanimal]

The hunting skills of the orca were unparalleled, but it's a bit iffy to celebrate these instinctual behaviors, isn't it?

[@user-dc1dr9kr8x]

@3winusa if someone/thing instinctively runs fast, throws well, or has other outstanding winners instincts that gets the prize I see no reason to not celebrate it..........

[@justjay926]

Always enjoy your Spy creatures. My favourite is penguin tho this too is amazing😊

[@3winanimal]

Seeing the swift attack of the crocodile was a moment of raw nature, yet it raises questions about the ethics of observing such scenes.

[@georgemichaelides5250]

​@3winusa why?

[@ibnewton8951]

I camped with friends on the southern bank of the Zambezi river at Chirundu, Zimbabwe in 1980. In the morning, when we awoke we saw hippo tracks throughout our little camp when hippo came up from the river to browse during the night. We were unaware of their presence.

[@co6mo]

These are masterpieces!

[@EndritBeshi]

Beautiful

[@supertrike5893]

[@1Rabble-Rouser]

Would love a "Spy Hippo" for our backyard pond......👏

[@LikeFox-us9hs]

I was once told "Your mouth is like a hippo's mouth" and the universe brought me to this video😅

[@shawnacarter4032]

Where can I get a spy hippo? That was so cool I LOVE HIPPOS!

[@footfault1941]

Spybot is back! With a novelty of blinking eye (camera)! Lovely!

[@kingbarb842]

Not the barbz being in nature too 😂😂😂

[@danielbrandt9350]

Nice animals

[@sgpork]

The battle of hippo is always almost like ... who can open the mouth bigger wins.

[@Elle281-fm1yi]

LOVE THIS!!! WHAT AN EYE FULL😊

[@Ahrim565]

i get that a lot of camera shots were made with robot hippo... but what filmed robo hippo ?

[@footfault1941]

An incredible creature is hippo. With such huge demand for water to sustain life & to reproduce, huge body cumbersome on land (yes, he can trot though), how he survive through severe dry season year after year!

Tolles Video. Gruss Jürgen 🤠

[@Cheebie_108]

11:31 I'd be scared too if I saw that pop out under the water

[@sarahchristine2345]

Right!! 😂

[@3winanimal]

The hunting skills of the polar bear were on display, but does it trivialize the struggle for survival in the Arctic?

[@oliversmith7820]

Owie owie owie owie hippo Owie owie owie don't bit me Owie owie owie owie hippo jumping running swimming so funnily.

[@royhay5741]

That's David Tennant narrating.

[@lbabytutorials4852]

[@TheRealNumberSeven]

He needs water to cool him and females to mate with. I feel you there, my hippo friend!

[@davidviner5783]

Soiled by too many ads.

[@apeman2093]

7:26 imagine risking death every time you feel thirsty 😮

[@debrakleid5752]

Spy hippo is looking a little pale don’t ya think? And it even bumped into another hippo and I thought spy hippo was going to be toast.

[@samuel_rowbotham]

Is that the mechanical hippo from ace ventura 2?

[@adiakiyes6354]

In the scenes of fighting hippos did you try to open your mouth as you can or mimicking it. I tried it but trying to wiggling my both ears is hard lol.

[@3winanimal]

Seeing the stealth attack of the crocodile was chilling, however, should we be glamorizing such raw survival instincts?

[@save.our.nature]

Wow i never see hippos in my life 😮😮❤❤

[@pedrocampos691]

River of the jungle.

Eight Unmissable Hippo Moments | BBC Earth 1209pm 26.11.23 i dont think the initial hippo could work out why the spy hippo didnt have any body or legs... infact it looked a tad startled, to say the least. o!! it does have legs and a torso... ummmmmmmmmmmmmm... why would it be so startled, then...??

[@pedrocampos691]

The jungle congo.

[@budokbathan7585]

Sounds like David Tennant narrated it. Was it him?

[@catalinacurio]

Yes

[@troll-fx2zc]
