According to Times Live, a motorist captured footage of a hippo making its way down a street in the town of Lephalale, Limpopo on Tuesday morning. It seems as though the hippo was making its way to a river close by. 

However, this hippo wanted to enjoy his stroll, without any company or motorists around him. A few seconds into the video, you see the hippo walking, then all of a sudden its snaps at and chases a motorist. 

It would be amazing to spot a hippo in public, but also a bit terrifying, don't you think?
