Hippo Attack in Okavango Delta

A fully grown large adult bull attacked our game vehicle whilst on safari. Piercing a hole in the side of the truck and almost taking a chunk out of my leg!! -yt

Hippos are deceptive like that, they look like big docile cows but they're actually quite aggressive, do not fuck with hippos. And definitely never stand behind hippos, unless you like standing in shit sprinklers, mother nature's own wide dispersal fertilizer delivery system.

1 of natures top survival rules: if a congregation of crocodiles and/or a pride of lions know better than to mess with it, you shouldn't underestimate it either.

One of (if not the top) killers of people in Africa. Incredibly territorial, they have been known to wipe out entire boats of tourists.

I once found myself starring into the jaws of one from the bow of a little aluminum fishing boat... I don't even recall my father yelling (or my grandfather laughing, he was crazy though) I was so scared.

Yeah it's the top killer in Africa of Humans...besides mosquitoes but nothing compares to those.

I don't know why they're soo scared, it's just death...accept it.

I thought Buffalo were the most dangerous. Natives call them "Black Death". But yeah. Hippos are scary. They can actually run faster than a human, they weigh more than a couple of small cars and their skin is 2 inches thick. Oh, and they can snap bones like twigs with their jaws.
