I once had a pink Hippo that could fly but sold it for a magic trinket...

Anyhow, did you know a hippo can bit a crocodile in halve if it feels like it?

More fun facts coming soon.

don't play then

Holy shiat, that was an ugly ass baby rhino....

ooh, we haven't had a good hippo link in a long time.

Bugger_All: When exactly would a croc feel like being bitten in two by a hippo? That's just sick!

Where was Rush Limbaugh at the time of the attack? (dons flame-proof suit)

Hippos have joined forces with the moose, I see.

They're going to have to find where Sally Struthers was too.

Now what did the people do to p1ss off the hippo? After all, the hippo is innocent. It's the people's fault. Just ask PETA.

"...causing five woman and a man people to drown, police said Wednesday...."

A five woman and a man people to drown? When will the madness end?

And in other news...

New Fox special:
"When hippos go bad"

Dido: Krak? Or Crock? You're just crunching crumpets here, cleary crooked cricket!

"...causing five woman and a man people to drown...

Beldar Conehead working at the Washington Post now?

"Man people, we must consume mass quantities."

I consulted the official fark.com manual for tag usage and and all would have been appropriate too.

would have been my pick.

"...causing five woman and a man people to drown..."
Now that is quality Journalism

Bug - Ha Ha, Dat's furny.

The terrorists have won.

That question could clearly use clarification,
Since it surely suffers severely
from an absolutely obnoxious abuse of alliteration

6 people dead. Hmmm...

Sounds like a time to make jokes. You people are cold.

the Straight Dope on hippos...

COLD?

well, I propose a hot toddy, with a toast to hippos in charge of population control.

zimbabwe, eh? hippo prolly got aids from them and will die anyway

If this would've happened at the Zoo, it would be a big deal!

As I always say, people need a little natural fear of the wild. It just proves we're not always top of the food chain and the crocs should get a taste of long pork now and again.

The same thing happened at our local Wal Mart during a stampede for plus size thongs on sale for 50% off.

First it was the sharks, then the squirrels, then a herd of elephants, now the rhinos are involved.

Rub for the hills.....it's a freakin' animal jihad!!!!

Of course, this story immediately made me think about the tarzan movie (tv episode?)with Diana Ross playing a nun. She was in a boat that was tipped over by a crocodile. Funny farkin'stuff.

Lucky guy, was with 5 woman, thats how i want to go.

"and were looking for the others in the lake's crocodile infested waters". Hmmmm... do they really think they'll find the other bodies?

that is sad

Drowned, hahaha that’s a lovely cover story from the tourist companies and government, one or two would have been killed by the hippo (bodies they found) and the rest probably nailed by the crocs, nothing has time to drown in that lake, they loose 4 or 5 people there every new years when they get pissed and try swimming, aaah the memories

Hippos cause more deathes in Africa than any other animal. More than the crocs, lions, etc.

http://www.facemakersincorporated.com/hippos.jpg Damn those hippos!

I used to have a pet hippo, but it contracted mixamatosis and died.

Actually it’s the mosquito that causes the most deaths in Africa, all those easily but expensively cured diseases that it carries. The Hippo is a distant second.

OK, it's the #1 killer that weighs more than a feather.

happy?

A huge Picture YAY!!!

!hmmmmmmm.... not as big as I thought BARRGG!

Oprah should be jailed for this...

LOL Bug! Somehow I KNEW I'd be seeing that picture here!

My weirdly prophetic photoshop entry from last week...


Dude, I'm psychic!

Hippos defecate copious amounts into the rivers and ponds in which they wallow all day and also partake of a charming ritual described by hippo experts as "dung showering." They blow crap mixed with urine all over the place to humiliate their hippo rivals and inferiors and mark the territory around their watering hole, swishing their little tails to be sure to get plenty of coverage at nose level.

Sounds like some of the dumbasses that have invaded FARK over the past couple of months. The stench around here is too much to take sometimes.

Well done my pretties

I wonder if the animal let out a hippo hurricane holler?

Hippos are the most misunderstood of God's creatures. Who else can go from spraying themselves with urine and fecal matter; to putting on a pink tu-tu and dancing to swan lake?

hippo hurricane holler

LOL

thanks.

Hippos kill more people than alligators do.

Who you callin fat?

They kill fish, hippo kills them. Score
