In this digital age, viral videos have become a powerful tool that uncovers the dark side of certain persons. There are many instances captured on the camera that prove how mean certain people can be and how they can act stupidly just for enjoyment.

As the hippo opens its mouth, another man trashes a 'plastic bag' into the open mouth of the hippo. As per reports, the incident took place in Taman Safari Park in Indonesia. Certainly, the hippo was unaware of what the humans fed it and it started munching the 'plastic bag'.
The video shared on X (formerly Twitter) by non-aesthetic things has gone viral on social media and triggered outrage among netizens. The video has been viewed by over 2 million users and the comments section is flooded with outrageous notes from the netizens.

According to a report by Jakarta Globe, a Taman Safari Park spokesperson Alexander Zulkarnain informed that the traveller has been identified. He was identified by the license plate of the vehicle.
Jakarta Globe quoted Zulkarnain as saying, "We urge him to make a public apology to teach a lesson to other visitors about complying with the standard operating procedures at the Indonesian Safari Park."

As informed by Zulkarnain, the hippo underwent an examination and is currently in good health.
