Harmonious Hippos & Crocs/Undercover Hippo
Two fascinating short videos (after the obligatory commercial...):
Harmonious Hippos and Crocs:
Hippos go right up to feeding crocodiles, and start nuzzling them and biting their backs, etc. The crocs don't do anything about it.
Undercover Hippo:
Some crazy wildlife guy makes a kevlar hippo disguise so he can sneak right up to wild hippos and get their sweat, which is supposed to have sunscreen and antibiotic properties...

Personally, I thought it would be a lot safer and easier to have a biologist and botanist observe the hippos, record what and how much they eat, then feed that to a captive one.
But now that The Crocodile Hunter is gone...some other guy has to fill his niche in the entertainment jungle.

BTW, the video about hippos and crocs living in 'harmony' would make a funny cartoon, don't you think? Imagine a pair of huge hippos licking and snuggling a pair of terrified crocs.
1st Croc: What do we do now?!
2nd Croc: Don't move! Whatever you do, don't move!

Basically, the hippo may be a docile looking thing, but it's more deadly than Starbucks coffee.
