Refer to my original statementTennesseeTuxedo":33axkdtk said:Gosh, based on the horror stories around this place I would have thought cattle and hippos would have been neck and neck in the rankings.
Come on cows, step up your game!

Most hippo attacks take a place in the water or near the water. Also some attacks happened at night.Nesikep":101y39tb said:I'm surprised at how few horses kill... I wonder how that looks for injuries.. I know cows can kick, but nothing quite like horses.. and then all the riding accidents.
I'm also rather surprised at the hippo count.. I know they're some fierce animals, I'm more surprised that people don't give them a bit a wider berth.

NO idea how many are killed every year as they leave no evidence unless someone else sees it.Dave":oe35umm9 said:Worked with a guy years ago whose parents were missionaries to Africa. He said the earliest memory in his life was of a native woman being made into lunch by a crocodile. I would think that crocodiles rate right up there with hippo's. It is always scarier to have something that wants to eat you after it kills you as opposed to something that just wants to kill you.

try two continents. There's a feral population of hippos in south america.Nesikep":1yeau5ac said:But hippos are pretty much limited to 1 continent...
I remember a hippo at a zoo, would stand at the fence and open it's mouth for you to put grass in it.. it would just hold it open for a minute or two, or until you got about a half a bale into it. then it would swallow it and open up again for more... certainly not a good example of how dangerous they are
