This is a video of and from a robotic spy hippopotamus baby built by John Downer Productions (previous spy animals) to infiltrate and film a bloat/pod/herd of wild hippopotamuses, including some exciting underwater action.

This is a video from some adventure-seekers in Tonga diving with a couple humpback whales, who just narrowly miss a whale’s tail flip. I don’t know, maybe don’t get so close to them. They don’t come to where you live and fill your house with plastic, do they? While certainly
