Giant hippopotamus climbs right up to edge of enclosure to watch visitors at Indian zoo

  • 5 years ago
A hippo at the National Zoological Park in New Delhi, India went right up to the edge of its enclosure to investigate some visitors in this nerve-wracking clip.

The hippo was kept in an enclosure circled only with a low fence, and walked up to within touching distance of the visitors on November 11, but remained calm while watching them.

The visitors took photos and can be heard praising the dangerous animal for how calm it was being, before it eventually returned back to its lake.

The filmer commented: "Such a great bonding between animals and visitors inside zoo."
