6. I think they kill more people in Africa than any other animal..

They're very dangerous, and their litter box is probably a real bitch to clean.

15. That's true
Edited on Thu Oct-02-03 11:46 PM by ZenLefty
They are very territorial, and if you're in the wetlands, all you can see of their approach is a subtle little V shape in the water, the apex being its nose. Next thing you know you're facing 7000 pounds of bone-crushing beast, with a tusk filled mouth bigger than the cask they'll ship your remains home in.

:scared:

16. lies! vicious lies!
that little baby doesn't have the face of a killer!

They's big snuggly animals who love their bellies rubbed.

At least that's what I choose to believe ;)
