Nature is scary thread

That's a nice circle

 

It’s giving me some inspiration

 

This is how the Bible ends in Revelations.

 

I blame the Kiwis. They love their circles and sheep recognize that.

Lol the world’s most dangerous animal, and a tiny wall is all that separates them from a killing spree.

 

So what did you do at work today?

Well I had to slap a hippo to make sure it knew it’s place.

 

I would quit.

 

How do you qualify worlds most dangerous? How many die a year from hippo attacks vs other animals?

 

They’re also supposedly one of the most territorial and unpredictable animals. Will attack with little to no provocation. And I assume because of their size, they don’t hesitate to attack any animal. Plenty of video of them attacking crocodiles and lions. And even some of them attacking elephants.

 

So not the most dangerous.

 

Most deadly isn’t the same as most dangerous? Or am I missing something?

Maybe hippos’ human murder per capita is better than ol’ doggo

 

"Deadliest large land mammal."

Banks is doing that thing he loves to do where he gets super pedantic about a meaningless comment.

 

Guess you would have to take into consideration that hippos only live in some parts of Africa (and a few coked out hippos in Colombia). So their interaction with humans is severely limited compared to mosquitos, dogs, sharks, etc. which are spread throughout the world, have much higher population totals (hippo numbers have declined in recent years and are borderline endangered), and have a significantly greater chance of human interaction.

 

We really splitting hairs on how dangerous hippos are?

 

Humans are more dangerous than hippos. How is this even controversial?

 

basically “per capita” like I said

 

don’t do this

 

Gotcha, missed that the first time. Got distracted by the link.

 

It’s super stupid. Like saying that knives are the most dangerous weapon (if you ignore guns).

 

I too would rather share close quarters with a mosquito vs a hippo

 

Just thought it was understood when viewing this thread that we’re talking about non-weapon using animals. So from now on, let’s assume that everyone is referring to non-weapon using, non-human animals.

 

I've been killed by many animals in all the lifetimes I've lived and I've been killed by hippos the most (even over humans)

 

Can’t believe we allow Shinzonᴵᴵ to post on this here message board without even so much as a gate around him.

 

These opposable thumbs are deadly.

 

Well this was a fun update.

 

Im willing to try it so long as Sir David Attenborough narrates the action.

 

This is an example what it’s like talking to a toddler.

 

I have had 10 mosquitos on me at one time and did not hardly feel a thing. I could put peanut butter on my nuts and a doggo would just lick it off. Can’t say the same thing about a hippo now can you!

 

somewhat relevant tweet I just stumbled across

 

i would pick a hippo in a one on one fight cage match

 

much different kind of bear eating going down in weho

 

Happy Thanksgiving.

 

Red Pandas are p cute

 

They are my favorite zoo animal

 

My favorite zoo animal would be the gorillas.

 

Primates in general.

 

Walrus has no arms.

 

Nature is cool post. This thing was bigger than a school bus

 

no thank you
