hippos are pretty freaky when you go near a huge one, though I guess you get used to them
(even with the protective wall/glass you find at the zoo :lol)

Hippos are mean motherfuckers, you don't know man

Looks like one of those wierd godhand monsters from berserk.

Yeah hippos are scary as hell. I was surprised to find out how many people are killed each year by them.

I am a biology student at uni and from what I can remember from marine biology is the sunfish is firstly a very inefficient swimmer due to its crazy shape and also a very old species of fish.

And yes they grow that big


Also hippos kill the 2nd most people out of animals each year in africa (I think)
Mosquitoes being number one pretty much all over the world expect deserts and cold environments.


So yes fear the mosquito the most!

Yes the pic is of a whaleshark. The whaleshark is a non-carniverous shark. Not a whale.

Whales are mammals, jaws is not. Therefore, whaleshark is more like fish than whale.

TYVM!

i could have sworn that a whaleshark was actually a whale.. not a shark . ?~!

I think Hippos kill more people than any other animal in Africa every year.

Well it has gills, not lungs, and lays eggs instead of giving live birth. Its a fish sorry

it sort of does a whale thing by cruising along with its mouth open to eat little sea things.

Doesn't hunt any sizable animal.

Great White Shark, Tiger Shark, Whale Shark.

Orca Whale, Blue Whale, Sperm Whale.

What the animal is is the second word.

And back to scary sea creatures, I'd hate to see a Basking Shark coming towards me. Yikes.

Being a biologist and living in Western Australia where the whale shark is Native!

yes it’s a SHARK END OF STORY!

The whale shark also has a cartilaginous skeleton

And a spiral valve plus many of the senses unique to the shark
