Incredibly, among massive animals, the one which kills the the general public in Africa is the hippo.
There are many hundreds of hippo fatal injuries reported a year, it is thought that many more go unreported. The mosquito is said to be the most hazardous animal of any size in Africa, as it spreads of malaria and other sicknesses. Malaria alone kills more than 1,000,000 Africans yearly.
More about hippos: Hippos are very territorial. They’re the second-biggest land animal in Africa, behind only the African elephant, and they’ve been known to walk anything that comes into their territory, including water buffaloes (the second most threatening giant animal in Africa), crocodiles and humans. The average hippo can run as quick as twenty mph (32 kph). That is pretty electrifying for an animal that weighs about eight thousand pounds (about 3,600 kg) and can have dog teeth that are up to twenty inches (fifty cm) in length. The hippo’s nearest relative in the animal dominion is the whale.
