    1. And if that wasn’t enough, they can run as fast as horses on land and are deceptively fast in water too.

      Once they make contact, it’s game over. Cos they have a bite force 3x times that of an adult lion.

      is that why they dont need the gym, or to stretch before charging after safari trucks …. /s

    3. When something that’s as aerodynamic as a house can run and swim that fast, avoid that shit.

      As someone from the UK who was a child in the 1980s, I grew up mistakenly thinking all hippos were like George from Rainbow, except possibly less pink. And camp.

      I’ve had my mind blown this year learning about how they’re NOT actually cute, eyelash-batting, lazy, wallowing water dogs.

      They’re fucking terrifying.

      There should be more horror movies made about hippos. Forget sharks and gators. I have a new phobia.

      Reckon i could take one and would’ve survived the titan sub implosion. Built differently.
