I’ve always loved this quote from Wiki:
“To mark territory, hippos spin their tails while defecating to distribute their excrement over the greatest possible area.”
Talk about the shit hitting the fan 🙂
I remember reading stories about how vicious those things can be, like when they bite boats in half.
Speaking of idiot comments,
“Chantel,animals that live in water are known as FISH! F I S H. And most crocs are herbivorous bottom-feeders.

Be a surprise to all the people and animals that get chomped that crocs are plant-eating bottom-feeders, huh?

There’s only one animal on the African Continent that is more dangerous than a hippo: Man.

I guess that hippo-surfing didn’t provide the mosh pit that this croc tought would be the case.
