I'm including the video, just in case anyone did not click on this one.
How in the world can an animal have such unbelievable power, while spending its day barely moving. It's not like it works out in the gym every day. I wonder how much horsepower it has. Seriously.

Hippos are amazing swimmers. THey're closest cousins are whales.
THey're also fiercely territorial. They kill more humans every year than any mammal other than dogs (and other humans, obv).

C'mon man, who you trying to kid??
Look at them. They couldn't possibly swim. Short fat legs, big fat body. No way can something with that design swim.
Kill people? No way. They don't even have sharp teeth, and anyone could outrun such a fat, overweight, well..., hippo.
Closet cousins (whatever that means, er... Sic) to whales. My god man, one lives in the water, the other fat lardass plumps along on land.
As Jon would say:

They are the most lethal critter in Africa, killing more than any of the great cats, rhinos, crocs, snakes, etc...

No.
Surprisingly, the most dangerous is the African Moose.
Never, I mean NEVER, roll your window down during an African safari to take a picture, even if the moose is yards away in the snow.
They are faster than a polar brown bear. -

Seems like that they did not live very long.

@george-k Almost as fast as D'Oh when he hears it's last call at the pub.
In the thread someone asked, "So, how did they catch it?"
