The news outlet reported the incident and wrote, "Hippo at Indonesia zoo splashes watery faeces, horrifies visitors". It pointed that the footage went viral earlier this October, leaving netizens majorly disgusted.
"Imagine the smell there," one of the Instagram users commented while replying to the video as it rolled out online. "Stop doing this bro," another said while asking the hippo to take control of its poop.
Meanwhile, some reacted to the video in a lighthearted way and dropped laughter emojis.
The video opened by showing Moo Dong standing partly out and partly inside a pond, relieving itself. The hind legs of the hippo were placed inside the water and it stood at the zoo space to pass its stool.
The video captured the animal swinging its tail and releasing its poop not straight into the pond, but all around.
