Hippos: The Most Dangerous Herbivores
Contrary to their seemingly gentle appearance, hippos are incredibly aggressive creatures. In fact, they are considered one of the most dangerous animals to humans in Africa, with hundreds of fatalities reported annually. Approaching them, especially near water, is extremely hazardous.
Although hippos are herbivores and do not eat humans, they are highly territorial and known to capsize boats or bite people to death. Furthermore, they can run at speeds of up to 40 km/h, making escape virtually impossible if attacked. Don’t be fooled by their cute appearance.
