It's gets pretty ominous once you realize that this joke is put over a picture that was most likely taken moments before a man's gruesome death.

[–]barset 5 points6 points ago

My thoughts exactly.

[–]lisabadcat 6 points7 points ago

Nobody was seriously injured, there are after pictures showing everyone alive, probably with soiled drawers.

[–]brownox 6 points7 points ago

Nobody was seriously injured

With the exception of the Hippo, which was shot and killed in the interest of saving the two veterinarians lives.

Apparently the tranquilizer didn't fully take.

[–]dylanroo 6 points7 points ago

Well it shouldn't have tried to forcibly take someone's marbles.

There's a lesson to be learned here

[–]Avatar_5 0 points1 point ago

They believe water going up the animal's nose woke him. Short article and links to more pic here.

[–]geckogirl9 6 points7 points ago

Hippos are straight up vicious. And can probably swallow you whole.

I was always scared of them.. Then I learned that they're actually faster than man ON land! Who'd have thought it?

Yeah. Never going near one of those fuckers again. Ever.

[–]Nah_Im_Playin 0 points1 point ago

Seriously.. those little legs can move at an unreal pace.

[–]geckogirl9 1 point2 points ago

I'd always assumed that because they have such small legs and fat bodies that they were slow on land...

Good thing I didn't learn the hard way.

[–]Avatar_5 0 points1 point ago

Actually, they tend to bite you in half, or just take limbs.

[–]PhilsGhost 4 points5 points ago

Hippos are incredibly aggressive and have teeth the size of bowling pins. Does an herbivore even need teeth like that? It sure as shit does when it shares the water with 15-20ft Nile Crocodiles, and they can bite those motherfuckers in half.

[–]CrazyBastard 10 points11 points ago

Hippos kill more people than any other African animal.

THE MORE YOU KNOW

[–]kaiden333 3 points4 points ago

We're excluding mosquitoes because they only carry the disease?

[–]Phloozy 6 points7 points ago

Reddit has been lame recently, this is the first time I laughed out loud in a while.

[–]Gorignak 2 points3 points ago

Hope he likes the taste of shitty underwear.

[–]THE_Iron_Gooch 2 points3 points ago

Guy in the background don't give a fuck.

[–]Toad08 1 point2 points ago

Have they lost their marbles?!

[–]paper_towels 1 point2 points ago

Anyone know where this is from, maybe have a link to a video?

[–]Ramzuz 1 point2 points ago

I'm not sure what I was expecting but this surpassed my expectations.

[–]drawingdead0 0 points1 point ago

I get it, cause the hippo is going straight for the marbles

[–]polyshore 0 points1 point ago

Well, he just shat them so.. sorry, can't.

This really brings back great memories of my mom. She was always hungry, naked and trying to kill me.

[–]Bickfordbritt333 0 points1 point ago

I showed this to my fiancé and he said "those guys probably died, that's not funny.."
