Caution: Hippo

While they seemingly look cute and fluffy, Hippopotamuses are among the largest mammals and the most dangerous in Africa. From afar, they seem to be cuddly. However, is it known that these creatures have the ability to cut flesh into pieces with their sharp teeth and powerful teeth.

Also known as water horse or hippo, the hippopotamus is the second-largest land animal, next to the elephant. Male hippos are usually 11.5 feet long, five feet tall, and weighs about 3,200 kilograms. Hippos adapt well to aquatic life, and their bodies are so dense that it enables them to walk underwater, where they can hold their breath for a certain degree of time. The eyes, ears, and nostrils are located high on the head so they can keep the rest of the body submerged.
