The video shows a hippopotamus submerged in water, with only its eyes and nostrils visible above the surface. The water is green and murky. The hippopotamus is in a pool, which appears to be part of a zoo enclosure. Behind the pool is a concrete area with a rock-like structure, and several birds are visible on the ground. There is also vegetation including yellow flowers near the edge of the pool. A thin branch lies across the pool.
