In various Animal Planet-type documentaries I've heard that hippos are surprisingly fast (but can't recall any numbers) and very nasty,particularly when there are young involved,and *do* kill more people than any other creature...lions and crocs included.

I have heard that the Rinos will charge the trams at times and I do not think I’d want to be in one when this happened! I went to Ngorongoro Crater National Park in Tanzania a number of years back and while there we encountered a rhino (which,I was told,was rare even back then).The guide told us that we couldn't get any closer than about 500 yards because rhinos are fast,they *will* charge a Land Rover and if they manage to catch it the rhino "wins".

I used to be a zookeeper. One of my favorite things was to watch our zebra torment one of the rhinos. He would come up behind the rhino and bite him on the posterior. The rhino would then turn around while the zebra patiently waited on him. It was like an 18 wheeler turning around.
The zebra would spin around and kick the rhino in the mouth. Then he’d take off running. The lumbering rhino would start chasing the zebra and would eventually pick up speed. The zebra would step aside like in a cartoon and watch the rhino speed on by, apparently having forgotten what he was mad about.
When the rhino stopped, the process would start all over again.

I missed the ears thing because I was focused on those beady eyes bearing down on the subject.
