#3 It's my understanding that Hippos kill more people than crocs.

#4 his horrified friends ran for help in opposite directions.
Although vegetarian, hippos are considered to be Africaâs most dangerous large game, (apart from a wounded buffalo), and are reputed to kill more people every year than flesh-eating predators, because they are vegetarian. I also think they are a lot cleverer than most would imagine. Don't piss them off, is rule No.1.

#6 Some place.. somewhere on the web there is a description of a an alarmed Hippo moving at speed over ground droping it's abundant scat through it propeller like little tail. It's probably a rural legend.

#9 Here are some solutions besides killing all the hippos:
1. Start emptying 55 gallon drumps of a strong sedative into that part of the river
2. For goodness sake remove all the khat plants from the undergowth.
3. Have Nicoderm manufacture some of their patches in a cloth-yard size.
4. Make all the hippos wear daygrow orange vests so the villagers have a sporting chance.
