Welcome to the Hippo Spa | National Geographic

I
how do you like a behind-the-scenes look
at one of nature’s most luxurious
full-service hippo spas our dominant
male hippo customer has already arrived
here at the mzima spring kenya africa
what the carb goes right to work
it uses its wide rasping mouth to scour
the hippos hi
the hippo gets squeaky clean skin and
fish gets a rich buffet dead skin algae
and parasites
how about that tail that looks kind of
like a toilet brush the cichlid fish
takes care of that how about well how
can I say this discreetly the hippos
hindquarters where the hippo produces
hippo done the barbel fish eagerly dives
in here especially when the hippo is in
done production mode the barbel is so
eager for what the hippo is trying to
get rid of that they race after him like
an autograph seeker chasing a rock star
finally the hippo opens its mouth home
of the good stuff and the fish rush in
like hungry shoppers and a half off bake
sale the hippo has enjoyed the full
treatment and after it’s done enjoys a
relaxing yawn of relief
