When will human beings understand that wild animals are WILD. They are unpredictable. They don’t love you back. They want to eat you.

Note to self: Add Hippo to the list of pets NOT to own.
Previous list includes Rattlesnakes, Lions, tigers and Bears oh my.

I guess Humphrey didn’t like his ‘father’.

Humphrey was probably just a Hungry Hungry Hippo.

Don’t forget about chimps. They’ll rip your face off if given the chance.

Dammit! I'll have that song stuck in my head all day long. The neighbors will shake their heads as I go about my business humming it.

Sort of reminds me of the doe I saw a few months ago. She had left her 2 fawns sitting beneath a tree while she browsed. When finished, she was calling the fawns as she walked up the hill to get to them. One fawn responded and got up to meet her, but the other stayed put. She proceeded to walk to the one that didn’t respond, and she got to it, she proceeded to bite it on the butt. It responded to that!

Live by the hippo; die by the hippo.

Memo to farmer:
Hippos are not human beings. They are wild animals.

And now he’s Hippo poop. Gotta love the food chain. Best to try to stay on top of it.

In Africa, hippos are responsible for more human deaths than any other animal.

Old fact: each year more people in Africa are killed by hippos than by lions & leopards combined.
Hippos only appear to be clumsy and slow.

When we went on Safari in Africa everywhere we went we were told more human deaths come from hippos than any other species. Yep, more than lions, leopards and hyenas.
