They are well known as the deadliest animal in Africa
It's true that baseball is not the national pastime. Transferal of blame is the national pastime.

Mosquito
Edit: Apparently the white-tailed deer is considered the most dangerous animal in US. Mosquito is considered the most dangerous in the world.

He won't be playing hungry hippos with his grandkids anytime soon.

Seems like if they could prove they did this...

They would have a case. That's legit putting your guests in harms way.

I’m going to guess he and his wife signed countless waivers.

I've been on safari twice, once in South Africa and once in east Africa. On both trips, I witnessed male hippos warring. They are terrifying at close quarters: their preternatural speed in the water, their sheer mass, their bellowing, their teritorial ferocity, their massive incisors. Thousands of people are killed annually each year in Africa by hippos when they venture into rivers for bathing, laundering, swimming, or collecting drinking water. Even lions fear hippos when they cross rivers.

Yes, they are incredibly scary creatures.

brilliant way to get our of your marriage. Lose the ball & chain, take the insurance money, sue the tour guides...profit.

Didn’t some a-hole want to introduce hippos into Louisiana like 100 years ago?

Hippos (and rhinos) will frick you up. I thought everyone knew this.

I've got to tell you, I like the chances for that mouthy male nurse that posted here who wants to sue his on-again, off-again temporary employer and his female supervisor that he couldn't get along with better than this widower in their lawsuits.

Technically, 3rd deadliest behind mosquitoes and men.
