ROUGHLY, HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE KILLED EVERY YEAR IN AFRICA BY HIPPOS ??
MANY THANKS
Good grief. I don’t know, how many idiot tourists are there every year that aren’t?
Comments
Perhaps the more legitimate question is how many Hippos are killed every year in Africa by people…
As long as they keep biting beauty queens, I am all for them.

It’s actually the number one animal that kills more people in Africa, more so than Waterbuffalo, snakes and all the other “predators.”
What generally happens is that people swim (or get water) in areas that have hippo. They are very territorial and, if you get between a hippo and it’s homewater (just like a bear and its cub), you better run, run and run.
Here is a good link about hippos.
