Hippos are considered to be one of the most dangerous large animals in Africa. They are, by nature, extremely aggressive and territorial, and female hippos are protective of their young. Attacks against humans are well documented, with hippos tipping over boats that enter their water space or chasing humans on land with no apparent provocation.

The hippo is the third heaviest land animal, after the rhinoceros and elephant. Despite their weight and stocky legs, hippos have been recorded as running at 30 kilometres an hour over short distances. Combine these characteristics with their aggressive and unpredictable nature and you have an exceptionally dangerous animal.
