Why do hippos kill 500 humans annually in Africa alone?

Pretty rude if you ask me.

    The incredible thing about hippos is they can be fairly safe and docile if raised in captivity.

    They should be domesticated.

      Anon... about that...
      >A farmer in South Africa has been killed by his pet hippopotamus, after repeated warnings that it was a wild animal that could never be tamed.
      >Marius Els, 40, an army major, was bitten to death by the 1.2 tonne hippo he christened Humphrey and tried to domesticate on a farm in Free State province.
      >Els's savaged body was found submerged in the river where, years earlier, the hippo had been rescued from a flood. It grew too big for the people who adopted it and was bought by Els at the age of five months, becoming a pet on his 400-acre farm and learning to swim with humans.
      >Earlier this year, Els was photographed riding on the five-year-old hippo's back. "Humphrey's like a son to me, he's just like a human," he said. "There's a relationship between me and Humphrey and that's what some people don't understand.
      >Humphrey was also blamed for killing calves belonging to Els's business partner. The animal also frequently broke out of its enclosure and chased golfers at a local golf club.

    They look kinda harmless but no other animal even fricks with them. The only times are when they are attacked is when hyenas, lions or crocodile try to eat baby hippos, but nobody attacks adult hippos because they would snap their shit up.

      There is footage of baby hippos literally walking all over fully grown Nile crocs and the crocs being too afraid to react because the bull hippo was watching.
      I dont think any animal takes that many hippo calfs

        remember they don't really swim, they walk in water. It's fricking crazy to see them walk in water like nothing is slowing them down.

    At first I thought eh, out of 1 billion africans that's not much. Then I considered the number of hippos.
    In the wild hippos live for around 40 years. In 40 years hippos kill 20 thousand humans. The hippo population is just 120 thousand. These animals are rude indeed.
