RUN! It’s a Hippo!

If you ever find yourself exploring the wilderness in Africa, be careful not to get too close to a hippo. Sure, they might look harmless, but they have a dangerous side. The hippopotamus is actually one of the most aggressive creatures in the world and can easily out run a human. They have been considered one of the most dangerous animals in all of Africa!
