Griz Posted February 4, 2006 Report Share Posted February 4, 2006 I was watching a program on Discovery called Human Prey and these guys were talking about a Hippo that attacked them while they were in a canoe. Man I never realizes that they were that aggressive. They said there is around 200 people per year killed by these things. It was just unreal the story they told about this hippo attacking them... Heck it would be horrifying to any thing get a hold of ya... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnf Posted February 5, 2006 Report Share Posted February 5, 2006 Re: I didn\'t know that... I've heard somewhere that they kill more people than lions do a year. I saw a show on discovery awhile back where it showed a hippo biting a 14' croc in half. EEEEEEK! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
