I think I could probably disable Dax Shepard long enough to bundle Kristen Bell into the back of a jeep and make my escape.

Maybe I should construct an animatronic trojan hippopotamus that shoots tranquillizer darts through its nostrils.

Neat video, showing that animals are in fact very capable--across the board, not just apes and highly trained dogs & dolphins--capable of using tools. In this case it is to have fun. But, it appears to be self-taught without human prompting, which shows us very much that we DON'T yet fully understand their full capabilities. We are barely getting to a point were the human mind makes sense, psychologically and via neuroscience.


Once we understand the majority of ourselves we can gain better insights into the animal world, which of course is very different from one little black-feathered flying Crow to the large leathery skinned water-dwelling/land mammal, Hippopotamus! With understandings into their world via the same as ours: neuroscience and psychology; we can make further strides in truly expanding our horizons and moreover it may help prepare us for the day we really do run into an extra-terrestrial sentient life-form.

most other species on the planet of similar proportion would destroy that guy. luckily, we're currently eliminating all the competition.
we're the best!

For 26 miles?
No.
(unless you're talking about a fight, then probably)

ahh...for 60 feet a hippopotamus would beat a human.
for longer distances we do alright trudging along and the creme' de la creme of humanity ain't bad. but on average...uhhh. i'll take the average dog, horse, deer, cat, gazelle, or chicken to outdistance a human without too much effort.


Yeah the average American would lose to anything faster than a plant in an endurance race

But well-trained humans are possibly the best endurance runners:

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

what? are those pink hippopotamus running around at 5:15?
EDIT: 5:58 "from one to the other to the other, are you listening pig?.." WtFhuh?

They're pigs. In the game's survival mode you kill them for food, which you need to heal yourself, as zombies and skeletons spawn at night.

Oh, ..of course.
In that case, he should have built a sausage factory and a zombie-killing robot.


Already been done.
