Was that a Staffordshire Hippo, or an African Pit Hippo?

Hippos are vegetarians, and mean and territorial as all get out. That’s why I always found it amusing in the Jurassic Park movie when they portray brontosaurs as “kind of a big cow”. Big cow, indeed. If a 3 ton hippo is mean, imagine the attitude of a 30 ton dinosaur!

Rhinos and Cape buffalo are also vegetarians.
OTOH, most RINOs are carnivores.

Note to self: “when confronted by hippos in the neighborhood, never try to run across their backs.” OK, got it

I don't know how it ended.
Thats how the Kenyan runners train for marathons.....obviously only the fastest make the team and there is no junior varsity.

Crocs have been around for over 100 million years. Doing things like this is no way to get to 101 million.

From your link:
Faster than Usain Bolt: At 30 mph, hippos have a more impressive top speed than the fastest man in the world. Bolt can only reach 29mph
Wonder how fast Bolt can run when he's being chased by a hippo?
