I just love the line in Jurassic Park, where the guys have climbed a tree to avoid being a dinner guest, and the girsl says, "Can I pet him?"
And the Scientist says, "Sure; he's a vegetarian."
"So are Bull Elephants, Rhino's, Cape Buffalo and Hippopotamuses but I think prudence would keep one from 'petting' them!"

So true.
I believe that hippos kill more people in Africa than lions and crocs.
