Apart from snakes and insects the hippopotamus kills more people in Africa than any other! It’s a statistic which many find shocking especially because they’re not actually meat eaters. So what makes the hippo so dangerous ?
Well to begin with they’re large, extremely bad tempered and surprisingly quick on both land and water. If you combine these factors with a strong set of jaws and large tusks you have an animal with an extremely destructive bite. Most attacks seem to occur at watering holes or near to water where humans either come too close or simply disturb the hippo from a distance. So just remember next time you’re in Africa it’s not only the lions, cheetahs and crocodiles you need to worry about. Beware of the bad tempered hippo! |

I never thought that something with the build of a bungalow could run fast enough to trample a person. I think this has been posted before The elephant is the only animal that has 4 knees The horn of a Rhino is actually made of the same substance as hair and not bone or tooth. |

Did you know that the phrase to paint somebody 'Warts and all' comes from when Oliver Cromwell was having his portrait done, he didn't want to hide anything or make himself look better as was the practice at the time, he told the painter to portray 'Warts and all'

Bamboo, the world's tallest grass, has been recorded as growing as high as 130 feet. This plant has also been known to grow up to 4 feet in a 24 hr. period!
A notch in a tree will remain the same distance from the ground as the tree grows. Brush fires are common around the Los Angeles area, and often hundreds of acres are burnt. The amount of energy released by burning just 160 000 square meters of brush is equal to that released by the atom bomb dropped over Hiroshima. |
