  • Akaji, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11RIP :(
  • zappo1776, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8It's not eating the Zebra, Hippos don't eat meat. Hippos will attack anything that they think threatens them including Elephants.
  • sideshowRAHEEM, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6New #1 threat on the Threat Down................Hippos
  • diggmaddy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7And population of African elephants has tripled in the past 10 years.
  • dengzhi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6youtube?
  • HP844182, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6"Adult hippos are extremely hostile toward crocodiles, which often live in the same pools and rivers as hippopotami. This is especially so when hippo calves are around. Hippos also seem to empathize with the prey of crocodiles and have been known to stand guard over dead and dying antelope on river banks. Hippos have been known to be very defensive towards humans, and according to the paper by Dr Ed Evans, hold the title of African mammal which kills the most humans."

    From wiki
  • technothrasher, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8@david76

    I believe that honor would go to the mosquito. Still, Hippos are nasty critters.

    mosquitos are bugs, it would be interesting to see the numbers of which one kills more.
  • TheAkolyte, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Probably becuase people think hippos are a joke. NOBODY ***** with a crocodile, but I bet there's someone who thinks it's o.k. to put their head inside of a hippo's mouth.
  • TheAkolyte, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Maybe the zebra ate a leaf or something.
  • itschaboywin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Have you ever seen a hippo SAVE an impala? You have now.

    "PETA would send a human to be eaten instead"

    I see you don't know a thing about PETA... http://www.petakillsanimals.com/petaKillsAnimals.cfm
  • scoobyroo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6I saw this exact same thing on the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland.
    You know the hippos are going to attack when they wiggle their ears.
  • maikelnai, on 10/12/2007, -5/+9I'm sure the hippo killed the zebra, but eat it? Come on, everybody know they are grass-eating animals...
  • harriman714, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3i guess the question here is:
    "Did she swallow?"
  • cr125er, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3LMFAO, you got em with the Mr. Hands.

    Welcome to the internet bitches.
  • mrnoodles, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Actually Hippos are quite dangerous and pretty aggressive.
    Hippos are killing more people than crocodiles do.
  • Philonius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2pretty nasty snuff video, that
  • taotehue, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2hippos are very very territorial. that is also why they attack humans (and each other when the dry season is in).
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Site has pop-unders, no video and hi-jacks the browsers back button?

    WHo diggs this crap?

    DUGG DOWN!
  • Kyle660, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2A little off the subject here. I know they're animals and all but do they really have to try and ***** on children?

  • Kyle660, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Dude. Keep your home movies to yourself.
  • CiXeL, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3horse flies are SCARY
    especially 2 inch wide everglades ones
  • agentofchange, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Well, i can finally check that of the "things to see before i die list".
  • Philonius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I guess the 'fox' in your handle doesn't refer to Firefox.

    I didn't notice anything at all at the site except the story. :)
  • charmaniac, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Just want to say that there is absolutely no doubt that Mosquitos are the deadliest animals in Africa, and in the world for that matter.
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Mosquitoes don't kill anybody. The parasites they carry do. ;)
    So, if you people want to get technical instead of just accepting the fact that hippos are dangerous, the hippo still wins.

    Oh wait... Humans kill each other more than any other animal! Ha! Take that hippos and mosquitoes!
  • sTuDlYgUy97, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1zebra ownage
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I saw that, and it was fake, it was clearly edited.
  • mga911, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Have you ever seen a man eat a zebra??? http://youtube.com/watch?v=tRKpnkX99z0

    Now you have.
  • overbored454, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Maybe the hippo ate your baby."
  • 12340987, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1it doesn't say it was eating it, said attacking. Might have been defensive or trying to dislodge something from its teeth with a zebra leg.
  • rogerjones, on 10/12/2007, -4/+5PETA would send a human to be eaten instead
  • faz9, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Would of been good to see this. How ever, by the time it had hit the front page it had all ready aired on bbc 1
  • hungryduck, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1No video?
  • Wonderkind, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2PETA can eat my meat.
  • JesusIsSatan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yeah, they aren't even omnivores like us. They are strictly vegetarians and peaceniks. Strange if he actually ate meat from the zebra.
