That's pretty fast considering their weight and size.

they are viscous and dangerous.. if you visit Africa.. keep your distance!

It may sound unbelievable, the Hippo is 1 of Africa's most dangerous animals.

DisturbedUnicorn2316,
In a previous question the notes said hippos can’t actually swim , it’s more that they can walk inderwater

Hippos are the ultimate predictor as they can also swim very quickly. They have been known to eat meat as well though.

I also read that they are the fire fighters of Africa. If there is a fire near them they will run and stomp on it.

I so wish there'd been a "faster than me" option! hahaha

funny .. I just watched a video of a hippo swimming after a lion. it also caught it too. the lion made it to land but had no idea hippos attacked lions or could swim as fast as them until watching that video

Player #8906298, I thought those were the rhinos. Or at least that’s what I saw in the movie “The Gods Must be Crazy”
Debs
they will eat carrion too

I knew I'd heard they were the deadliest in Africa...but Googled it, just to be sure.
"Every year across Africa, hippos kill an estimated 500 people, making them the world's deadliest mammal, after humans, and nearly twice as deadly as lions"
