OK....I live in gator territory, and yes one can go to the swamp or lake and photograph a swimming or sunning alligator if one chooses....knowing they can leap about 15', so one usually is wary of that distance. Hippos...otoh....I question their agility and dexterity outside of water. No leaping or sneaking up from behind abilities a gator may have. So this begs the question, just how fucking close are these brain surgeons getting to the hippo population to take a photograph, in this day of zoom lenses on smart phones no less? I pray more and more below 70 IQ folks go out there and give the hippos a free meal. SC Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, jaws that can snap a croc in two. iirc there's more deaths per year from hippo attacks than crocs/gators/sharks combined. Brilliant creature, though.

Sir Creep 7,071 Posted August 14, 2018 Must be something in the water.... A man died when he flew a small airplane into his own home early Monday morning following a domestic dispute, police said. The pilot has been identified as Duane Youd, according to Payson police sergeant, Noemi Sandoval. Police say, Youd and his wife had at least one domestic violence altercation within the past year and another just before his death. "They had been drinking. He assaulted her, and witnesses saw this happening,” said Sandoval. Youd was later booked into the Utah County Sheriff's Office, bailed out and went with a police officer to retrieve some belongings from his Payson home.

bladan 293 Posted August 25, 2018 Feed me! When trying to rescue three sheep in the high mountains in the municipality of Längenfeld, on Friday a 45-year-old fell to his death. The crew of the helicopter had been called to rescue. When trying to capture the sheep, one of the two marshals slid over a cliff edge on the wet grass and plunged about 150 meters into the depths. https://tirol.orf.at/news/stories/2932083/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
