Most mammals survive water by floating or swimming.
The hippopotamus does neither.
It sinks.
It walks underwater.
It shuts down breathing and slows its metabolism—balancing just enough oxygen to avoid death.
This science documentary explores how hippos survive where physics says they shouldn’t.
No gills. No floatation. No room for error.
Survival here isn’t strength.
It’s oxygen math.
This isn’t about holding breath.
It’s about managing time, pressure, and failure at the edge of what’s possible.
