Visitors to a zoo in northern India were shocked recently when an African hippo suddenly showered them with poo.

Footage captured at National Zoological Park in Delhi on October 18 showed the hefty creature wagging its tail to spray the dung over the fence of its enclosure at the zoo-goers who retreated quickly.

The tail-wagging behaviour seen in the clip is what all hippos do when nature calls and it's unclear whether the creature was deliberately taking aim at the visitors.

This video footage was recorded inside National Zoological Park in Delhi, India.
Hippo's are the aggressive animals and people don't go close to this animals enclosure. When comes to hippos funny behaviour, hippo throwing dung just by spinning tail and because of that, dung travel too far and people come under this dung rain.
