Hippos are one of the most deadly animals because they can charge at 40 kilometers per hour and their teeth are huge teeth. Every year they kill three hundred to four hundred people!
Even though hippos are herbivores they can still attack when threatened. Because hippos are trying to protect themselves and their territory they may attack humans or animals.
Hippos have four big giant teeth that really catch your attention, because they are eighteen inches long. Actually hippos have 36 teeth. The smaller teeth are for protecting their babies and territory.

How Hippos got 34 Small teeth.
Once there was a Hippopotamus named Sally. Sally was a very fierce hippo, she could knock out any lion who tried to attack her. Sally was very brave. Whenever Sally was about to clomp down on something you could see all 36 of her giant teeth glistening in the sun, none of her teeth were short. All her teeth were 18 inches long. If you came near her you would be saying 'Aww! Look at the cute hippo!'
Next thing you know you'll be dinner for that hippo, Sally.
OK now here's where the story starts. One day Sally heard that there was a fighting tournament down town TODAY.
'Oh Boy! A fighting contest. Oh! It's today!' Sally blubbed.
Then she got super excited because her human neighbor was willing to drive a hippo right down town to show off so she ran of to tell him. Luckily the man didn't own any hippos so he was glad to take Sally. He said that they needed to leave next morning.
At 5:30 Sally heard a truck vrmm vrmming.
'Ughh.' Sally groaned as she trudged to her neighbors house 'Do we have to leave this early?' Sally asked yawning.
'Yess siree!' The man said 'Now giddee up into that truck' and he poked her with a stick so she got moving. The man started the truck which started up with a roar, then the truck chugged down the road.
Sally felt like she was on a Safari seeing a lot of Africa because down town was a long way away.
Vrrmm Vrrmm EEEEEH! The truck stoppped and there they were down town. And there was the fighting arena right there! Sally charged at the arena.
'WHOA! Stop ya' wild Hippo!' The man shouted running after the hippo, but hippos are one of the fastest animals so she out ran him.
Inside the arena there was a male hippo twice as big as her, waiting to fight.
OK if this dude wants to fight Oh I will fight Sally thought and she stomped on stage. The fight started. The male hippo flung himself at her and not being one of the brightest animals on earth she didn't block him so he knocked out all her teeth leaving four 18 inches long. And that is why hippos have four large teeth.
