In this video captured by Russian tourists (hence the Russian talks in the background) visiting London Zoo where a hippo is found following and chasing a duck family including several ducklings. Though it was not clear why would the hippo do that, since hippos are vegetarians. May be it was trying to play or just pass its time in the idle zoo. But again, a simple act of play can turn to something dangerous.
