I mean if a hippo wants to kill, he is unlikely to fail

I like the idea of a hippo 'going into hiding' :hehe: Did he pop on a wig, a pair of glasses and a false beard, do we think?

The hippo will snap you in two without a moment of hesitiation. An incredibly dangerous beast.

However, when it defecates, he will spin his tail around in order to spread it about. It's highly amusing imho.

Make no mistake about it, though: if comments were opened on that, they'd be full of people saying he deserved to be mangled by a hippo for being a rich white man exploiting the resources of Africa, etc, etc.

Ah, they just like to have their own way, that's all. I'd go for cantankerous rather than grumpy. Did you know that the hippo's closest relative is the whale? Amazing, right?

Cantankerous? I'd say they're proper cvnts. Whales aren't cvnts like that. Apart from Moby Dick...and that lad who kept drowning his trainers at SeaWorld.
