Hippos Are Coming To Get You



A pair of hippos look right at you. They are almost completely submerged beneath dark waters, but their eyes and snouts have broken the surface, and now they are moving in your direction. Be careful, hippos are dangerous!

Even though they are herbivores, hippopotamuses (or should that be 'hippopotamii'?) are one of the most dangerous animals on earth. If you exclude disease-carrying bugs and parasites, then hippos are the fourth deadliest animal behind snakes, dogs, and crocodiles. The male hippopotamus is very territorial and will attack anyone wandering too close, while the female hippo will aggressively defend its young.

Thanks for looking!
