I once read, somewhere, that in Africa hippo’s kill more people each year than any other animal.
They were described as big as a truck, fast as a sports car, nearly as agile as a cheetah and possessing the personality of a whizzed off rottweiler. And that was on land. In the water they turned into a submarine with a worse personality on a seek and destroy mission.
There’s reasons they’re photographed from a distance.
Yet, in Columbia hippos don’t kill people.
