Supposedly this habit is also used as a substitute for fighting, where hippos will twirl their droppings about and whoever covers the largest area wins.

Also a phenomenon seen among cable news commentators.

HAHAAHHH!! Imagine a society where we were all hippos...


Wouldn't that be a breath of fresh air!

I'm kind of surprised its not better known that hippos do this... its why every hippo enclosure has to have shit cleaned off absolutely everything. Its to mark territory in the wild.

Anyone who has ever spread fertilizer on an organic farm TOTALLY wants a hippo.

Still funny tho

I wonder what makes hippos eschew the whole "raise my tail to do my business" in lieu of "whip it, and whip it good"?

And seriously, I've never heard a better impression of a chainsaw in any format.

Okay science, you need to invent a way to make a hippo not get any older than this so I can have one as a pet. Get on that.

King Hippo just made some Asian bookie a ton of cash.

Ok, well maybe not a fight...but. Ew.
