@Entwistle I blame children's books. Hippos are always portrayed as these cute fat harmless things, and then you grow up and you see videos of hippos sprinting down rivers chasing boats in order to kill everyone on board.

@Entwistle the hippo kills more people in Africa every year than the crocodile the Cape buffalo or even the lion

@Entwistle yes fortunately over here we don't have that problem but you are correct in Africa it is the chief number one spreader of malaria Bone Break Fever dengue fever and a few other wonderful housewarming presents
