This is a video of hippos chasing a tourist boat in Africa. It’s incredible how aggressive and territorial those things are. They portrayed as cute, cuddly animals in some kid cartoons, but they actually kill more humans than any other animal in the world. They are vicious.

Don’t frick with the hippos from Africa. (Or the ones from Louisiana if you know what I mean)

when we said the OT was getting depressing and we should have more animal threads I don't think this is what we meant

The ones at Wal Mart that have their brood in tow and a buggy full of 12 packs are far more dangerous than anything in Africa.

I believe the correct term is “body positivity activists.”

at one point the state was looking at introducing hippos into the waters here to control invasive plants. imagine the shite show that would have been.

"On this episode of Swamp People....." would have been sooooo much more entertaining.

The scariest thing I faced during my time in the Army was the dreaded Dependapotamus when I was a company commander.

Pablo Escobar did it and now they're out of control - which makes me wonder - what kind of gun would one use to kill a hippo?

Those things are built like living tanks.

Yep. I’ve had conversations with a guy in the South African military. When they are out at night, they aren’t afraid of lions, elephants, etc. They are terrified of hippos, and they hate hyenas because they are cowardly, opportunistic little bitches.

700 Nitro Express would probably do it. That or a Barrett .50.

Thers an IG video of a Hippo killing a Kudu that seeks shelter from some wild dogs in a pond. Its brutal. Just like the video of an adult hippo biting a baby hippo and killing it.

Hippos are assholes.
