Very disturbing, yet beautiful Warning: Spoilers
Hippopotamus turned out to be more messed creatures than one could commonly imagine. Kinda like dolphins, these ungulates often have a friendly reputation cemented by media, but in reality they are a pretty violent species, prone to commit infanticide.

This stylish animation by Piotr Dumala takes the premise of humans behaving like hippos in such kind of violent scenario. The imagery is very disturbing, brutal at moments, yet it is also oddly beautiful, akin to ballet.

Definately not for everyone. Many viewers would find this horrifying and tasteless. Personally I would advice special discretion for viewers who are affected by scenes of children suffering harm, because this animation is pretty merciless in that aspect.

Mercilesss in the same way nature tends to be, with life going on, even when innocents are victimized.

Watch at your own risk.
