I don't think that's a hippo... I think it's an anaconda swallowing a tapir.

 

I also don't think it's coughing it up - anacondas have teeth that slope backwards - so anything in the mouth is pretty much stuck there. They can't just cough up a meal. The latter half of the video clip is being played backwards.

Three toes: It's a tapir.

of course i knew all that. but it sounds way cooler if you think of it as a snake coughing up a hippo.

I met a guy in London who could swallow multiple things and then vomit them back out in order.

When I was a kid we lived in New Delhi. The thing to do for kids birthday parties was to hire Hindu Swami's off the street who would then perform magic shows. These were weird shows... sword swallowing, piercing, devilish incantations... good stuff.

 

A staple of any act was the vomiting of copious amounts of materials -- from yards and yards of string to rocks to misc. items that earlier in the day were someplace in the house be it knives or once even a wedding ring.

 

As kids we loved these shows! I recall the adults always being weirded out though.

Now that's entertainment.

If the latter half of the video is being played backwards, then why is the man walking forwards? They'd have had to plan it all in advance and have him walk backwards at the time of filming to make it look right.
