Monday 15th will be #WorldHippoDay
They are third largest land mammals after elephants and rhinos.
A group of hippos is bloat.
@carl They run 30km per hour, most human beings can't outrun them 😂
@JonathanMBR One of my personal goals is to never experience a charging hippo running towards me. So far, I was successful!
@carl have you been chased by hippos? Whenever I go near them I make sure to mark running path or note a tree for climbing.
@JonathanMBR Never, like I said, personal goal.
I do admit, however, that I have never ever been near a hippo in the wild, let alone being in a country where they live in the wild 😄
@carl when are you planning to come and experience what we go through here? 😀
@JonathanMBR Tempting 🙂 You live in Kenya, right?
@carl yes I live in Kenya
@JonathanMBR Kenya is on my list... but I will be able to visit 2023 soonest. This is far away in time, but I would be curious to meet you in person, if the occasion arises.
@JonathanMBR good luck they don't have fur, i couldn't resist them =)
@JonathanMBR Hip, hip, hooray for hippos!
@JonathanMBR And the most dangerous mammals to humans. Hippos kill more humans than lions or tigers.
