It's strange to me that hippos in the wild are actually extremely dangerous, they don't seem like they would be but if you get too close to a group of them they will gently caress you up. A lot of people die from hippo attacks every year, seems like a hosed up way to go.

I saw one of these in Frys the other day, they're gigantic

initially neil designed it so enfeebled old men like himself could have a portable audio device that didnt have the tiny little buttons that confound their arthritic hands so


but they added some bs about it putting back in touch with music because bitrate (which is totally obvious, especially to old cranks with massive hearing loss due to age and years of standing next to guitar amps screaming louder than death)

doesn't even have to be a group. most other animals there's at least a semi-decent chance they won't utterly destroy you if you stumble on them accidentally, either leaving you alone or being spooked and running off, but hippos are insanely territorial and deceptively fast

do you really think that matters?

quote:

However, due to their aggression and size, adult hippopotamus are not usually predated by other animals. Cases where large lion prides or cooperating groups of Nile crocodiles have successfully preyed on adult hippopotamus have been reported, however, this is exceptionally rare.[69][70] Crocodiles are frequent targets of hippo aggression, probably because they often inhabit the same riparian habitats; crocodiles may be either aggressively displaced or killed by hippopotamuses.[70] Hippos are also very aggressive towards humans, whom they sometimes attack whether in boats or on land, commonly with no apparent provocation, and are widely considered to be one of the most dangerous large animals in Africa.[71][72]

right but, compare manatees to hippos. They're about the same size, have somewhat similar diets and are harmless.

they look similar but have very different evolutionary paths

basically hippos as a species are all assholes and it's okay to admit that
