Hippos are dangerous despite their calm appearance because they are highly territorial, fast, and extremely powerful. They can charge at speeds faster than a human can run and have massive jaws with long tusks capable of causing serious injury or death. Hippos are especially aggressive when protecting their space or young, and many attacks on humans occur near rivers and lakes. As a result, they are considered one of the most dangerous animals in Africa.
