The video shows a close-up of a hippopotamus's face in the water. The hippo's eyes are open, and it appears to be calmly floating. The water is clear, and the background is blurred, but it seems to be a natural setting. The hippo's skin is dark gray, and it has a few strands of grass hanging from its mouth. The video includes text overlays that provide information about the hippo's adaptations to extreme heat.
