Yea part of the reason you don’t see a lot of people getting close to adult hippos is they are the deadliest animal to humans. (Like actually deadly not you die from an infection they carry)
They’re a big problem for white water kayakers because they tend to attack anything that moves and their tusks will go through two thick layers of plastic and a human thigh like it’s nothing and then walk your ass down to the bottom of the pool.
Oh shit, and here I was thinking ‘fuck you rocks’ lying just below the surface were the worst thing a paddler could encounter, not an ambush hervabore’s tusks goring your thigh then pulling you under!
i love and cherish all hippos and wish i could befriend them but they’re too angry
