sweet! 🦛 when it's fully grown it'll easily bite a man in half!
I always thought hippos were herbivores. I knew they were territorial and will attack. Apparently they’re more omnivorous but their digestive systems have evolved to digest plant matter more easily. They eat approximately 80lbs. of grass per night.

Yup they dont attack people to eat them. When you see the little pathways they wear into the mud, if you found yourself in one of those between the mother and its baby youre a dead man. I know of quite a few people who have met their end that way! Between hippos and buffalo theyre the most dangerous in africa... And elephant! 🐘 Theyre so cool though!
I prefer to appreciate wildlife from afar. I think it’s best for both of us.
