So the lesson here is don’t fuck with hippos, right?
Yeah, a lot of people don't realize it but Hippos are some of the scariest creatures out there. They are strong, fast, and have a disgusting bite force with those tusks. Combine that with how territorial and aggressive they are, if you ever see one close up you're in a load of danger.
I watched one destroy a huge, whole watermelon tossed into its mouth at the local zoo. It was impressive. Watermelon bits went flying everywhere. And the sound!
I… I hear that sound in my mind every time I see another story about a hippo-related fatality. I don’t like that sound.
