Most Dangerous Animal In Africa ?
Posted By Zoe Delphy On June 16, 2009
Apart from snakes and insects the hippopotamus kills more people in Africa than any other! It’s a statistic which many find shocking especially because they’re not actually meat eaters. So what makes the hippo so dangerous ?
Well to begin with they’re large, extremely bad tempered and surprisingly quick on both land and water. If you combine these factors with a strong set of jaws and large tusks you have an animal with an extremely destructive bite.
Most attacks seem to occur at watering holes or near to water where humans either come too close or simply disturb the hippo from a distance. So just remember next time you’re in Africa it’s not only the lions, cheetahs and crocidiles you need to worry about. Beware of the bad tempered hippo!
Oh my god!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It can killl me! Maybe I dont want animals after all!

it’s mors that their territorial than grumpy. they see people entering their territory and guard against those who enter. it’s kind of like if someone walked into youre house un announced. what would you do. keep in mind that the hippo isn’t nearly as cleaver as you are.
