But I bet their poop is great for growing the grasses they eat. It’s probably also really good for tourists, who it seems to attract and that they also eat.

Hippos are herbivores. They only kill tourists for fun.

That’s ridiculous and was clearly shown to be false by my joke.

Obviously, hippos evolved so their poop was irresistible to tourists. This is something my joke mentions to explain why hippos are always attacking tourists.

You joke, but some animals are psychopaths. I remember a news years ago of a seal raping a penguin.

It's important for their mental enrichment.
