Why is the hippo so dangerous?
Ppos are so dangerous because they are highly unpredictable creatures. They are also more aggressive than any other dangerous animal that lives in Africa, more because they are not afraid of humans and often cannot be seen, especially when in murky water. A hippo's jaws are very powerful and have sharp canines and incisors that can chomp a human in half with ease.
Though hippos are herbivores, that does not mean that they cannot be very aggressive and unpredictable.
Many people have the idea that, because something doesn't eat meat, it won't hurt them. This is often a fatal mistake. After hippos, the most dangerous animals in Africa are buffalo and elephants.
All these animals are herbivores. Hippos look rather comical, buffalo resemble large cattle, a docile animal, and elephants are often portrayed on television as 'gentle giants' - these things can lead some people to think they can approach and even try to touch these animals in the wild. Several people every year are killed in this way.
No-one would dream of going up to a wild leopard or lion and trying to touch it, even though the chances of injury are far less (leopards, lions and most other carnivores will run from humans on foot) - many people are simply uneducated about wildlife, and accord herbivores less respect than carnivores.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
