One Minute You Are King Of the Jungle.....The Next, Not So Much

A lot more people are killed by hippos than lions....2900 human deaths by hippos and only 200 by lion....Even crocodiles have to bow to the hippo with only about 2K human human deaths per year to their credit.

^ Kind of harsh, innit? I chuckle when I see folks making fun of actors beyond their prime. It happens to us all. At least he HAD a golden time. Russel Crowe is another aging actor who "blossomed" but he's still acting. UNHINGED was a real departure from other roles and he NAILS IT.

Lions generally kill when provoked or when they are starving. Hippo's kill just because they are pissed and they are always pissed.

People tend to think hippos are fat and slow. Far from it. Those beasts move pretty quickly. Even faster in water.

Hippos are like crocodiles with foot-long teeth. One bite is all it takes.
