Hippo Week 1

Every year  sharks kill an average of 5 people. Hippos kill over 2000. Why then, is there shark week but not hippo week? Here at your friendly local alpacalypse, we'd like to fix that. I present to you, HIPPO WEEK, a week where I post things about hippos, and how they will KILL you.

To start off, hippos weigh more than three tons/tonnes, which can amount to over 8000 pounds, which is a lot of british money indeed. 

Hippos can run at over 18 miles per hour, but not for an hour. However, my guess is, neither can you, so you're still doomed.

Hippos fear nothing, especially not the contents of your fanny-pack of the flash on your digital happy snap camera. Here is a photo of hippos eating a crocodile, or at least chewing on it. 

I'd say "oh the humanity!" but thats a crocodile.

Furthermore, hippos are equipped with strong jaws, massive sharp teeth, a thick blubbery protective hide and a short temper.

That all wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the temper part. But seriously, hippos will attack for no conceivable reason. Sorta like those people on the motorized scooters at wal-mart.

Hippos: the fat blubbery killer.
