There’s a current player at Man Utd that holds the world record for clearing a game of hungry hippos in the fastest time.
I can’t remember his name as football is for Wendy’s but I heard it. |

Yes.. cold blooded warm blooded killers
Evil buggers you"
Their well known in the Animal kingdom not sure how long they have been around for perhaps not as long as the croc/Aligator family, They use to frequent britain once the fossilised bones of one were found near the banks of the river derwent in derby in the past or recent times.  |

They're not evil, just like nor are lions or hyenas or crocodiles. They're just doing what comes naturally to them. They don't sit scheming under the surface of the Limpopo deciding which human to kill next. If you stray into their territory, you take a huge risk, just like you do walking out on the savannah. |

Generally you're right, have had a couple of close calls before where I either made a mistake, or was just in the wrong place at the wrong time..... But was once deliberately ambushed by one that had purpose, intent and a plan. Wouldn't call him evil, but he was pissed off with humans and wanted to kill one.
Generally speaking though despite being incredibly dangerous, lovely, placid animals when admired from a safe distance! |

I think the sad truth is if you were close enough to be ambushed, to the hippo, you were in it's zone and it was just telling you to get stuffed. This is the issue when humans spread out too much. Also yes, if Herr Hippo had been harassed by humans before, you'd possibly excuse his lack of trust  |

There's only one species on earth that could deserve to be called evil,and some of them can be quite nice occasionally. |

There are some killer hippies around my way that I feel pose more of a threat to me, but I wouldn't like to come across either unless in a zoo. A hippy zoo would be class, plus they'd probably let you feed the animals in that zoo   |

I know of someone who was killed by a hippo!!
Two rules with hippos, don’t get between them and their calf
Don’t get between them and the water, as they will feel trapped
Unfortunately the chap I know off vehicle had broken down, he was on his own and walking back to a village. Unbeknown to him there was a hippo one side of the road and the calf the other... |

"Jump in the water, little known fact but they can't swim"
No no no its that they can't run downhill under water (or climb underwater trees). Tsk, advice like that will kill more people than covid. |

Oh is that it, oh dear I could have decimated the population of Croydon there, lucky you set things right |
