Run. Run for your life. said
Above is the picture of a gamekeeper in Uganda fearfully running away from a hippo. Luckily, the man survived, but this is still a situation you DO NOT want to be in.
Hippopotamuses are some of the most dangerous animals in the world, as they can be unpredictably irritated and will become aggressive easily.
They have a jaw strength of around 1825 psi, the largest of any land animal on the planet. That is around the same strength as slamming your head into a pile of bricks at 20 mph.
Also, hippos can run at a speed of 19 mph. To put that in comparison, the average human can run at 12–15 mph. So, it would take a massive burst of speed to outrun a hippopotamus.
Don’t go fooling around near these creatures, you really don’t want to end up being chased by one of them.
