✓ Bathe Daily
✓ Masters of combat on the water
✓ Raiding distant lands
✓ Brutal Killers
✓ Even so, people hold them in regard with positive feelings

In conclusion, hippos are the vikings of the animal world.

Crocs, snakes, hell, even venomous snails kill vastly more per year than hippos.

Looking at cone snails the numbers aren't anywhere close, it's only like 30-50 people or os.

Your right, I got my info mixed. It's snails carrying parasites that kill a lot of people, so not really the snail itself doing the killing.

Holy poo poo. Late to the party on this one but I feel like this one is cropped to get the center of frame closer to the rail than the camera actually is, but the perspective distortion at the frame edges is telling me otherwise. I love trains and live and die for a good shot, but this is absolute lunacy.

It's almost certainly just a GoPro set up by the tracks. No humans were anywhere close to it.

I have it on good authority that all internet videos involve someone's eyeball being at the exact location of the camera lens and won't hear a word otherwise.

Still, it's a ballsy place to put a camera, even a cheap one. One rock gets kicked the wrong way, or one thing hanging where it shouldn't be, and that thing flies right in front of a wheel and gets mulched.

Not to mention the fairly large percentage of snail victims whose dying request is "don't tell people I got killed by a snail. Say it was something cool, like a hippo or something".

I mean, yea. If it rains the water is gonna run back into the space unless you put a good seal of tape or something. But most people won't do that on their trucks cause it can gently caress up the paint.

Back in my drinky days I bought an old civil defense Geiger counter off eBay and you better believe that thing got pointed at everything in my house. Aside from smoke detectors, the highest readings were in the basement stairs, presumably from the cinder blocks or whatever the hell my foundation is made of.
