Description
"What's the deadliest animal in Africa? It's not the lion or the crocodile--it's the hippo. Hippos have razor-sharp tusks, weigh as much as fifty men, and can run 25 miles per hour. Follow these hefty hulks as they glide underwater, play tug-of-war, swat balls of dung at one another, and nuzzle their young in the mud. Just don't get too close--they could chomp you in two"--Dust jacket flap.
