TIL that while hippopotamuses spend up to 16 hrs a day in water, they can’t swim – they walk or glide around by pushing off objects. However, on land, they can run as fast as humans.

[Even if it’s not called swimming, they still move pretty fast in the water](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jJQpq8mLbm0).
Hippos are terrifying!
Faster than the average human, really.
At the very least, faster than the average here in the United States.
Video games have taught me that hippos are to be feared.
I stand a better chance against them in a triathlon than I previously thought. I just need to learn to ride a bike and it’s game on motherfuckers!
This is great stuff to know in case I ever run into a hippopotamus.
Which is a bad thing.
Why are hippos so angry all the time? They need to chill
Hippos are quick AF in the water. They might not be doing the breastroke, but they aren’t awkward, for sure
They scare the sh** outta me lol
Define running as fast as humans, are we talking usain bolt or my 500lb uncle who gets winded walking to the fridge
