			Spit-roast baby hippo for Christmas Dinner? Serve mature hippo steaks flame-grilled with a dollop of brandy butter for a seasonal flavor. ...or is that just a large poaching pan they're in?

			Well... The mosquitoes aren't dangerous in and of themselves, it's the diseases they carry. And those are either viruses (Dengue) or protozoans (Malaria), neither of which are "animals."  It's commonly said that "hippos are the most dangerous LARGE animal in Africa." That's a more accurate statement because humans aren't "large" and there are a whole host of little flatworms that do a whole lot more harm (Schistosomiasis) than hippos. Butt, hey, ever wonder how hippos mark their territory?   |

			I plow directly over your sarcasm, and provide the answer: "To mark territory, hippos spin their tails while defecating to distribute their excrement over the greatest possible area." It is, if you've ever seen it, the proverbial shit hitting the fan. Just look at those tail muscles, and imagine it wagging back and forth at 600rpm.   |
