Is this another Q post from mark pack?
Team wolfs I had to perform. It took a minute to get it all in my mouth and another five to swallow it all.

They are herbivores. And their favorite hobby is killing people.

They are herbivores. And their favorite hobby is killing people. Ungainly as it is, the hippopotamus is the world's deadliest large land mammal, killing an estimated 500 people per year in Africa. Hippos are aggressive creatures, and they have very sharp teeth. And you would not want to get stuck under one; at up to 2,750kg they can crush a human to death. *Personally I would like to see them introduced into Texas lakes to control invasive plants.

If we put them in the Mississipi, will they eat the Asian carp?
