I always thought that pound for pound hippos are the most dangerous animal.
Pound for pound? Hardly.
There was a great scene in “Narcos Mexico” where Felix meets Pablo Escobar. Felix is very nervous because he has heard that Pablo sometimes feeds his enemies to his hippos.
Pablo responds that he would not have done that because his hippos hate Mexicans too.
I saw some on The View
“Mosquito-borne diseases and illnesses are caused by bacteria, viruses, or parasites transmitted by mosquitoes. They can transmit diseases without being affected themselves and are responsible for over 1 million deaths each year. Nearly 700 million people get a mosquito-borne illness each year. The most prominent mosquito-borne diseases include malaria, West Nile virus, yellow fever, dengue, chikungunya, and Zika virus. In the United States, the instances of mosquito-borne diseases have skyrocketed in the past years”
