    They might look cute and cuddly, but hippos are freaking mean. And they hold grudges longer than a snubbed karen-in-law

      I mean, the alien reconstruction is like looking into the soul of the hippo

        I don’t get how they can have so much energy to move such a bulky body quickly. Aren’t they also herbivores?

          They are, but they spend most of their time in the water, so they aren’t supporting their own weight.

          Every once in a while one of them forgets they aren’t top of the food chain, and attempts to fight an elephant. That goes poorly for the hippo.

      Aren’t they the most deadly wild animal? (because people think they are like cattle and get too close)

        I’m not sure most deadly animal is right, but they’re definitely top five. Mothers also supper protective of children and males are hyper territorial.
