Hippopotamus's are often called the "deadliest animals in Africa." Supposedly killing more men a year than lions, leopards or crocs. Hippos are mean buggers. Especially, so I'm told, if they are "wiggling their ears and blowing bubbles." There also is the story of an Austrian circus dwarf taking a bad bounce off a trampoline and a hippo ate the little guy whole. Caught the dwarf like a fly-ball in centerfield. The story isn't true.
This picture is mesmerizing. What led to this scene?

On a side-note, my parents' neighbors are obsessed with hippos. They used to own a catering service called, you guessed it, The Hungry Hippo. Although that's not really funny, the fact that they've managed to hit my parents' cars a total of three times, all parked in the same place is.
