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. TF?

Add a ton of crocodiles and we won’t need to build the wall. And piranhas.

I'd like a hippo foot for a door stop. It would be quite the conversation piece for my keggers.

If we put them in the Mississipi, will they eat the Asian carp? You mean Asian American Carp? Yes. But only the dinks.

They are especially dangerous when out of the water. You do not want to get between them and the water.

Adult females average around 3,000 lbs. Males can weigh up to 9,000. Doesn't really matter though. Get run over by a female at 15mph and you're gonna be just as dead as if a male ran over you.
