How did the Internet react?
The video has caused an avalanche of reactions.
“Brushing a hippo’s teeth seems like a daunting job,” one user commented.
Another wrote: “They don’t get this treatment in the wild, so why is it necessary in a domesticated environment?”
A third user chimed in: “This one seems friendly, but remember, in the wild, hippos are extremely territorial and capsize boats and kill people.”
“Apparently, brushing your teeth in the morning and at night also applies to hippos!” one user joked.
A similar video shared by the same account in March captured a hippopotamus having its teeth brushed.
The clip has garnered over 26.6 million views so far. The man can be seen scrubbing the huge hippo’s teeth well, first with his hands and then with a brush.
