Yo Dude.....as fast as you are....you're not going to outrun a Happy Hippo...! good thing they can't run very far..!!

Gamekeeper flees for his life from Angry Hippo...wait is the Hippo Similing..???

A terrified gamekeeper had a lucky escape after he managed to sprint to safety from a charging hippopotamus.

The dangerous beast chased the experienced ranger for more than 100 metres before it stopped for a rest at the Murchison Falls National Park in Uganda.

Hippos keep a strict watch over their territories and threaten anyone who invade them. Their teeth are as sharp as razor blades and they kill more people than any other African animal. Despite this, they are actually vegetarians and feed exclusively on grass.

The aggressive animals weigh up to two tons and have been known to reach speeds of up to 30mph on land.

Too bad we can't harness hippo power for our small cars!! the range isn't great, but the hippo seems happy enough trucking along at 30 mph. I guess it might be a problem for anyone wearing a uniform in its path, though. Mark
