Hippos kill more people in Africa annually than any other wild animal.
I know at least two people who have never been killed by hippos.
The hippo of recollection stirred in the muddy waters of the mind.
I deeply respect American sentimentality, the way one respects a wounded hippo. You must keep an eye on it, for you know it is deadly.
I respect hippos. They just look the way they do; they can't do anything about it, but they don't seem bothered.
I have seen the hippopotamus, both asleep and awake; and I can assure you that, awake or asleep, he is the ugliest of the works of God.
Somewhere behind me, Zia yelled, "Hippo!" Which I thought was a little late. ~Carter Kane

If a hippo ever wants to fight, just walk away.
And the Hippos were boiled in their tanks!
