If you don't believe lions are dangerous because a few people weren't attacked, but then are eaten by lions, that's also nature functioning as intended.

  Full disclosure: there is no amount of people being eaten by lions that will stop me from trying give one skritches. The one conspiratorial belief I hold is that all animals are my friend and someone is trying to keep them away from me.

    Somewhere, at some point in time, some zoologist got his heart broken by a hippo and decided to convince humanity to stay the hell away from them. I, for one, am not going to fall for that conspiracy. Hippos just want hugs.

      I mean they always start running towards me when they see me!

      There was a show with Betty White where she was feeding a whole watermelon to a hippo she'd been friends with for over 20 years. It loved her and came right up to her. Possibly the Pet Set but I couldn't find the video all I could find was her feeding an alligator in Lake Placid (which I don't remember ever having watched). Maybe I'm remembering everything wrong, but if not maybe someone else has that video or show in their back pocket and can help out.

        It's not Betty White but here's Fiona and family getting watermelons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWflUf6l9hc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWflUf6l9hc and here is the best hippo video on the internet https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5SSnQBtaq4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5SSnQBtaq4

          Appreciate you, those were both new to me and worth the watch!
