Video: Hippo flings poop around, visitors horrified at zoo in Indonesia

Visitors at the Surabaya Zoo in Indonesia experienced a shocking incident when a hippopotamus splashed them with poop. A TikTok user shared a video of the episode earlier this month, which quickly went viral, garnering over 15 million views.
The short clip, also shared by the Instagram account MS News, captured the hippo swinging its tail while it relieved itself, sending its excrement flying in all directions.
The visitors erupted into a loud cheer as the incident left several others horrified.
“Moo Deng would never be like this,” the Instagram account said in the caption of the post, referring to the two-month-old pygmy hippo born in Thailand’s Khao Kheow Open Zoo, who became an internet sensation in September.

Social media users, in the meantime, couldn’t help but laugh out loud over the incident.
