    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.

      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).

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

            @mik Wow. appears that they had one head and two bodies?

            Seems like that they did not live very long. 😢

                      As long as this thread includes Nature as augmented by artificial selection.

                      Only non-witches get due process.

                              That shot took a lot of preparation and patience.

                                        OMG, at 10s or so the woman holding the kid turns her head away from the cat trying to eat the child with this weird embarrassed grin for the camera. Like she's suddenly more concerned about the propriety of it all.
