I find this image kinda horrifying knowing how strong adult hippos are
Poachers straight up use RPG-7s to hunt them and sometimes the hippo survives the first hit
My first thought is this is like the extremely high risk version of people who don't teach their dogs not to bite because puppy bites are cute.
Hippos have a lot of sensation in their mouths. It's like our hands in terms of ability to feel stuff (just not as dexterous obviously). They socialize using their mouths.

Hippos are so deceptive. In my imagination I put them in the same danger category as koalas
Yes, they like to drop down and maul people. Especially people talking with American accents, I've heard.
