Hungry hungry hippos I guess.
If I had the land and money, I would have a hippo. They seem to be sweet docile creatures.
I know I'm weird.

Oh, hohoho! Damn! You called that one wrong! 2900 people killed per year. Looks can be deceiving.
Why go to the expense when they could just shoot them?
I thought Hippos where the animal which killed the most people per year in Africa. Docile, maybe if they aren’t protecting young, hungry or horny.
Pablo Escobar? I see a movie sequel: Cocaine Hippo.
you tube is full of videos of hippos trying to kill people inside different McDonalds. They are very much into hot fries, ice cream and some free nuggets.
Hippos seem to go where the biggest drug money is being made.
Dude hippos are the most dangerous animals out there! You gotta be kidding
“They seem to be sweet docile creatures.”
They kill more people in Africa than Crocodiles.
I don’t believe any hippo weighs 6,000 lbs
However.....
Long ago in a plains tribe, three young men came of age and were to be married. They were sent out into the world with a bow and arrow and a knife to kill an animal the fur of which was to be used to make their marriage bed
Brave Eagle returned with a wonderful cougar hide that was tanned into a beautiful fur
Charging Bull returned with the hide of a young bear that was tanned into a beautiful fur.
Falling Rocks was not very successful. He returned with the skins of two rabbits and a squirrel. These were not large enough to make a marriage bed. His wise grand mother suggested he take them to the trading post and get a striped blanket.
Alas, the trader would not part with a blanket for such a minor return but offered a dusty hippopotamus hide that though rough was in fact large enough.
A year passed
The squaw of Brave Eagle presented him with a son
The squaw of Charging Bull presented him a beautiful daughter
The squaw of Falling Rocks presented him with twins, a boy and a girl
Theorem:
The Squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the squaws of the other two hides
More like psychotically territorial.
A full grown hippo can literally chop a full grown crocodile in half with one bite if the croc wanders into hippo territory.
In Africa, in most years, hippos kill more human beings than any other African animal. Sometimes, because humans paddle a boat into hippo territory. Most of the time, at night, because a human innocently wanders between a hippo (on land) and the hippo path back to the water. The hippo will sprint full speed at the human and trample him.
Curious fact...
The closest living genetic relatives of hippos on planet Earth are...whales!
Hippos are neither sweet nor docile. They are extremely dangerous. I can’t understand why the don’t just shoot them.
If they can’t run for Governor of Georgia, they’re in demand as Christmas presents (only a hippopotamus will do!)
Grind their meat into burgers.
Use their hide to make boots.
Use their teeth for scrimshaw.

They are absolutely the opposite of that.
Some information about hippopotamuses
Sending them to Mexico or India is insane. They're invasive species anywhere outside of Africa.
mmmm. Hippo Hams!
Not only the stuff others are telling you about but the hippo is nasty, nasty. When they poop they spin their tail like a propeller to spread it everywhere.
