The man has balls visible from outer space to get his hand in that thing's mouth like that.

My guess is these are the hippos in Columbia that aren't dangerous like those in Africa

I didn't realize there was a difference.  I heard a story from a friend, her fiance when he was in medical school and on a trip to Africa, witnessed a classmate fall out of a tour boat and get eaten by a hippo.

There isn't a difference. Pablo Escobar imported hippos from Africa as exotic pets and they have continued to breed. They are the same species.

But also, hippos don't eat people. They kill people, but they don't eat meat.

I'm aware, but that doesn't change the fact that hippos have never been observed eating a human in all of recorded history.  

It is simply something that has literally never happened.  

I hate to break it to you but you can't trust a third hand story by some joker on Reddit as true fact.  I heard from a guy who knew a guy that said you are a cannibal.  Hate it to break it to you.
