A terrified man can be heard screaming as a huge hippo charges his truck on a motorway.
The man was filming on his mobile phone after coming across the animal as it perched on the side of a road.
It suddenly spots the truck and turns to face it.
Suddenly it charges towards the car as the driver starts shouting expletives.
The man repeats: "Woah s**t, woah s**t" as he tries to calm back down.
It was put on the social media site just six hours ago and has already been viewed thousands of time.
Back in 2017, a British solider was charged by a huge elephant after coming face to face with it while training in Kenya.
Combat medical technician Chris Abba got more than he bargained for when he and a colleague stopped to take footage of some passing elephants.
The 25-year-old, from Nottingham said: "We just stopped, got our phones out and walked towards them. We had a briefing saying that if they start looking at you, flapping the ears and walking towards you, it means they’re going to charge."
The soldier, who is attached to the 2 SCOTS battle group for the duration of Exercise Askari Storm in the African country, can be heard in the footage shouting: "Let’s run, running time now."
According to the BBC hippos kill 500 people a year.
They are aggressive creatures, have very sharp teeth and weigh around 2,750kg.
