Hippo (Hippopotamus amphibius)

Hippo (Hippopotamus amphibius)

Masai Mara, Kenya

They may look big and lumbering, but Hippos cause more deaths in Africa each year than any large cat. With tusks going on 7 inches long and immeasurable jaw strength, these large creatures have no predators once they've reached adulthood. Lion no Crocodile is any match for a full-grown Hippo.
