TIL hippos are actually not great swimmers. Instead, they mostly move with a sort of slow-motion gallop along the riverbed and they must be denser than water

Slow-motion gallop. Lmfao. I’ve seen them slow-motion catch a motorboat hauling ass. Hippo’s are fast AF in and out of the water.
There was just a video posted yesterday of a hippo attacking a bunch of lions that were crossing a river. That hippo looked pretty fast to me.
