Howzat?! Hippopotamuses mark their territory by flinging their poop everywhere with their tails!

The track and field team of John Muir High School in Pasadena, Calif., USA, won every track meet they participated in for 2 decades- 169 straight competitions from 1979 to 1999!

I guarentee that every US nuclear sub also has instructions regarding retaliation in the event all communication is lost due to a nuclear strike on the USA.

The only worse place than being in front of an annoyed hippopotamus is being behind one (hippos kill more humans than any other African wildlife).

It works. I stay a long way from hippos.From what I’ve heard, most hippo fatalities are the result of them tipping over boats. Never can tell by looks – one would think rhinos would be more dangerous.
