Which is terribly underperforming when you consider how many more dogs exist in proximity to humans compared to hippos. If a prankster wizard suddenly conjured a few million hippos into homes around the world you can bet they wouldn’t settle for merely snuffing out 50x-70x more humans. On the upside, they’d definitely chomp a lot of people we don’t like too
I encountered that a few times growing up too, I’ll never forget the ravenous way they murdered every marble they saw without a hint of concern for the devastated marble families left behind .
Dogs kill 50-70x as many people as hippos do, every year.
How many more dogs are there in the world than hippos? Just curious
According to a lazy search, there’s some ~140,000 hippos and over 700 million domesticated breed dogs. So about 5000x as many dogs.
At least 5
No idea.

I honestly don’t know what the big deal is. I saw hippos in lots of homes growing up. All they wanted to eat were marbles.

And it was like some kind of morbid competition!
No, they live mostly off the crumbs of peanut butter on toast.
