A hippopotamus chased a Chinese man and was caught on video at the zoo

A visitor to a zoo located in the city of Changsha (Hunan Province, China) captured an aggressive hippopotamus chasing a menagerie worker on September 24.

According to media reports, the male hippo climbed over the fence and started a fight with the female. At that moment, a zoo employee delivered lush grass to the enclosure and attracted the attention of a hippopotamus, which chased the young man.

The zookeeper, running away from the angry beast, slipped and fell. The hippopotamus, however, did not finish off the man, who managed to escape from the giant.
