Video: A hippo breaks wind on zoo guests
This hippo was loud and clear about how he felt being gawked at by zoo visitors.
Despite what you may think, Gloria from the 'Madagascar' movie isn't the only hippo with a feisty attitude.
Not too long ago, internet users also saw the baby hippo, Moo Deng from Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand, show off her personality. She was known for her sassiness and amusing antics.
Now, there's another hippo making his mark on the world. Hippo Tziumei, said to be from a zoo in China, has been making people chuckle with his flatulence.
Tziumei was recorded letting out what is said to be a 15-second 'fart blast'.
But this wasn't just an ordinary gas explosion. It looked like it was intended for zoo visitors. In the video, many tourists gather by the fence overlooking Tziumei.
We hear a man shouting as if warning the tourists to move away from the fence, but his words go unnoticed until Tziumei turns his back to the group and lets out a loud 'fart blast'.

According to a social media post, the incident was a warning. "Zoo officials quipped that the episode was a reminder to heed staff instructions and to give Africa’s 'river horses' plenty of personal space."
Many people laughed at the amusing incident, but some believed it was a sign that large animals such as hippos should not be kept in enclosures.
They enjoy their freedom and shouldn't be confined.
