This is the scary moment a charging hippo bit down hard on a boat's rear motor with its massive jaws.

Jackie Boshoff was on a river tour down the Chobe River, Namibia, on March 22 when the group came across a group of hippos bathing in the water.

Dramatic footage shows the moment a large male suddenly charged at their boat causing the skipper to try and escape.
