You wouldn't believe Hippos are such killers. I would definitely be scared to death if one of those things had to take a sprint at me!

Hippos are very aggressive animals, especially if there is a cub around .. and they run up to about 30 miles an hour ... that dude doesn't stand a chance!!

Hippos kill more people in Africa than any other wild animal, I lived there for 10+ years ... and I have been to the Paraa Lodge near to where the photo was taken it is right next to the Nile in Uganda and there are loads of Hippos

I have seen many of them in Kenya. They are pretty cool to watch in the water but wouldn't want to see them on land!
