Hippopotamus is one of the largest animals on the planet, and is known for being aggressive. While its demeanour is calm, the animal can give people a scare by its quick movements. A video circulating on social media shows a security guard risking his life to push a hippo back into its enclosure and save the visitors. The video was first posted in March this year, and has resurfaced. This time, it has been posted on Twitter by a handle called B&S with the caption, "Security Guard risking his life to save incredibly unalarmed zoo visitors from a hippo."
