WATCH: A hippo plays catch with tourists as they capture the moment on video...
Definitely an adventure these tourists will remember...
As a tourist experiencing the wild, there can be pretty much anything that could happen. One of the many things you cannot control when you are out enjoying wildlife, besides the weather, is the way the animals are going to respond to you.
Imagine if the roles were reversed and they were coming to your home to watch you and take videos and photos of you. Yeah, sounds invasive, right? Well, not all animals are like those in the movie 'Madagascar'.
The funny part of it all for us, is how cool, calm, and collected the driver of the boat and the tourists were.

Luckily, in this case, the Hippo retreats and stops coming after them. But this is a clear example of how we impose ourselves on our wildlife. They too have days where they want to relax without being photographed.
If you are going out to do something touristy and it involves animal life, be sure to be sensitive and respectful of the animals around you. Just like us, they are instinctive.
