Ripley's Believe It or Not by Ripley’s Believe It or Not! for February 28, 2012

In mating season the males of herding species get very protective of their harems. Many human males also fight to the death over females.In Mumbai and the Philippines taxi drivers decorate their cabs to the extreme.

If I only ate plants, I’d be cranky too.

And yet there’s still no “Hippo Week” on The Discovery Channel….it’s a crime!

Michael Crichton described a hippo attack in the book, ‘Congo’

They should see the jeep-nees in the Phillipines, if they want to see decoration, or the Chicken Buses in South America.

Vegetarians! I told you they were dangerous.

Yes, actually, it is.

Many of the hippos in the Teamsters will kill you if you criticize the decorations on their trucks.

Interesting. Considering the exotic animals that have ‘naturalized’ in the Everglades, I wonder when someone will release a few hippos. Can you imagine the surprise of vacationers in a glass-bottomed boat.

In Yellowstone, there are more injuries from buffalo than from bears.One is more likely to be a victim of suicide than murdered.Danger is often not where we expect.(How fast can a hippo run?)OOps – just remembered – hippos get you when they tip over boats.

…dangling dance troupe dancers!

RBIoN has such clashing art styles sometimes. But that doesn’t bother me. What does is the superfluous repetition of the comic’s title under the hippo item.

Bandaloop Troupe message to friend: Why don’t you come over and hang out for a while?

I’d never want a hippopotamus for Christmas!
