Hippos can kill anyone they want! Hippos eat people ALL the time and don't even think twice about it. These guys are so crazy and awesome that they flip out ALL the time. I heard that there was this hippo who was eating in the forest. And when some squirrel dropped a nut the hippo killed the whole forest. My friend Mark said that he saw a hippo totally uppercut some dog just because the dog opened a window.
