Hippos are fricking terrifying
Apparently when Pablo Escobar brought a bunch over to Colombia then had to abandon them, they had no natural predator in the region so their population has absolutely exploded and is basically destroying a huge part of the environment

I didn't think they had predators in Africa. Crocs eating pups or something?

Hippos are murderous psychopaths. I spoke with a guy in the South African army, and they aren't afraid of elephants, lions, etc. They are terrified of hippos and they hate hyenas (they are considered cowards, as they won't approach normally, but they will attack if you're sleeping).

I’m unsure. Wonder if the vast ecosystem of Africa lends itself a little better to multiple apex predators (compared to Colombia)

On March 24, 1910, Congressman Robert Broussard of Louisiana sponsored a debate on a bill he had introduced. HR 23261 “For the Transport of African Animals,” was soon known as “The Hippo Bill” because it included a plan to import hippopotamuses to Louisiana. There the “Lake Cows” would graze on invasive water hyacinths that were choking the waterways and killing off fish and the livelihoods of fishermen. People in turn would eat the hippos, solving the meat shortage the world had been struggling with for years. It was a “two-birds with one stone” solution that even President Teddy Roosevelt backed.

It would be fun to sit on the back of that boat with a 450 nitro express waiting for that fat bastard to pop up. Put him to sleep and have hippo tenderloin

What does hippo even taste like?
Granted, I assume some baw off I-10 could make it delicious

I woulda thought they hippos had more opportunity to eat lions and tigers than opportunity to eat people. Live and learn, I suppose.

Damn I expected a pic of a hippo chasing a boat with Obama in it…

had a hippo chase use back to the tour minibus in Kenya in 1986. 5 people trying to get through one door was really funny

Great to see a quality outboard on there.
The first boat we had growing up had a 7.5hp mercury.
A few years later we got a 15 hp Evinrude....
We thought we were kings of the ocean with double the HP.
