Hippos

[–] [email protected] 62 points 3 days ago (4 children)

This is the correct answer. Why are they so violent?

[–] [email protected] 111 points 3 days ago (1 children)

They've been bullied and fat-shamed their whole lives and they've had enough.

[–] Aussiemandeus 1 points 1 day ago

Well if they've had enough they should stop eating.

It will help with the fat

To make sure the tigers don't start getting any ideas

Herbivores have nothing to lose when hands need to be thrown.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I just imagined a hippo with hands. Nightmare.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

You're not imagining. They're real.

Depends where they are.

If they replace the ears? Goofy but harmless.

If they replace the tail? Run for your life, that's the equivalent of a full horde of monkeys on steroids.

I think Africa is a rough biospehere to live in so everything's gotta be super tough, the Amazon is like that too

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

no ; it's humans.

[–] geogle 29 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Not even on the same continent. Hippos are in Africa and Tigers are in Asia. Pretty big desert in between

[–] HonoraryMancunian 29 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The Indian ocean isn't a desert

Got me

Geo, dude...

Are you sure? It's not like you can drink the water. And how much life is there really once you get away from the coastal shelf?

Look, I'm trying to lose the COVID weight, okay? Insults are unnecessary!
