Hippos.
Hippopotamuses are usually associated with gentleness and a genially chubby kind of cuteness.
I mean, think Thirsty Hippo and Hippo and Friends.
Well, it is nothing but a gross misconception.
I recently watched a documentary that revealed hippopotamuses to be bloodthirsty omnivores with a penchant for raw meat.
These fellows actually eat people; there was a footage of an African native being attacked by a downright ferocious hippopotamus. And it is said that many missing Africans were eaten by those damn beasts.
They also consume fellow dead-hippopotamuses, buffalos and even try their hands at alligators.
Hippopotamuses are neither friendly nor amicable. I never knew, I always thought they were nice herbivores. Bastards.
