Some things just can’t be explained, like why we yawn, why we blush when we’re embarrassed, and why hippos like to lick crocodiles.
The latter wasn’t something I knew about either, but this video brings this strange behavior to life.
It seems that while crocodiles are a-feeding, there’s nothing that hippos like more than giving them a great big lick. Personally I wouldn’t go near a croc with snapping jaws if my life depended on it (and it probably would!), but I don’t have a hippo’s physique.
It seems that crocodiles are too intimidated by the hippos to tell them to stop, and so the licking continues. And you thought humans were kinky!
