According to the reports by The Daily Mail, a woman named Cyntia Ayu caught the offender in the act. She rushed to safari authorities and complained to them about the incident that she witnessed. As per reports by The Daily Mail, she said that she was not expecting something like this to happen and this is why she was not filming from the beginning. She further said that she took her phone and started recording while they were still not allowed to get out of the car. Let’s have a look at the video.
Since uploaded, the video has managed to gather over 33.4K views.

As soon as the guards were alerted, they came to the animal and made sure he spat out the bottle. Following this, the vet did an endoscopy to check if anything was wrong with the animal. As per the reports the hippo is perfectly fine.
