Hippo

If you have ever considered adopting a hippopotamus, you should think twice before making this decision. That being said, let’s consider the case of a South African man, Marius Els, and his pet Humphrey, a hippo that killed him in 2011.

Before his death, Marius Els was famous on the internet for his videos with Humphrey, as he tried to show the world that he had a strong connection with his pet until Humphrey changed his mind and killed him. Six years after his adoption, the hippopotamus attacked Els and bit him to death.

Well, according to officials, Humphrey had previously attacked several cows. Statistics show that hippos kill more people every year than any other dangerous animals do, such as leopards, elephants, lions and so on.
