What about the humble manatee?
Nope - manatees and sea cows' closest relatives are elephants, clade Tethytheria.
Hippos and whales are technically (even-toed) ungulates, and related to bison, dromedaries, giraffes, etc.

Hard to know something that is false...

approximately 3,000 people each year succumb to hippo-related deaths.
quote:
25,000 people killed by dogs each year
And that doesnt count people killing people

Damn, ill be honest, if I had to guess what animal kills more people than any other.. I don't even know if a hippo would have been in my top 10.

That's nowhere close to true.
Unless you count rabies... but that's not really the same.

the dog still cause the death, the number without rabies is still higher than hippos, FWIW.

Indirectly... which is why it's not really the same. I get that dogs are the primary way in which people get infected by rabies, but it's not the only way.

No it's not. At least not anywhere that I can find reported.
