Underwater chem trails
If I got my division order right, that’s about 5 lbs of shit per hippo per day (19841 % 4000). That’s probably a lot more than I shit each day.
“probably”
Depends how strong the espresso was. 😅
I mean that’s one way to say your ex is toxic
Truly the most dangerous species on earth! 🌎
You’re forgetting humans.
Naw, I just knew that someone else would bring it up to fill in the gap:-).
In that case I kinda gotta mention mosquitoes too, just to get the full trifecta
I would argue it’s the microorganisms that they carry in that case… but let’s just wipe them all out and worry about that later to never instead - bc dayum they annoying:-).
The one and only animal I’d be okay with us driving extinct, but they’re doing great and we’re losing the rhinos 😭
Do these guys ever cease to be assholes?
I think they serve an important ecological function of pushing down marsh grass to better the flow of water. Or something like that.
Well, lawyers also serve a useful purpose…
Moo Dang is pretty cute.
Moo deng probably gonna grow up and murder several people
Pygmy hippo, not as big
More like Poo Dang
Oh snap!
True, but I still want to see the poop numbers just to be sure.
Big animals produce big shits
Wait, that’s just 2.25 kg of dung per hippo. That sounds like way too little. I’m pretty sure a human being could produce 2.25 kg of dung in a day with the right team spirit and some elbow grease, but you’re telling me these dainty, bashful cowards can’t do better despite weighing so much more? Pathetic.
I imagine they also poop on land
A guy on Reddit didn’t take a shit for a month and a half and it finally came out weighting 9lbs, I don’t think you can do 5lbs on the regular…
Interesting, my grandma once described giving birth as like pooping a bowling ball. That guy might actually somewhat understand the experience.
Now compare that to factory farms and their manure run off.
Roughly 2.57632e9 lbs per day according to this report.
U.S. factory farms are raising more animals than ever before. Together, the 1.7 billion confined animals produce an appalling 941 billion pounds of manure each year — double the weight in human sewage produced by the entire U.S. population.
And much worse managed I bet
Me exiting the Taco Bell bathroom: “Notice me senpai!”
They do it on purpose though:
For a second I thought that 9 ton amount was for a single hippo and was shocked.
So we need to kill all the hippos?
But I bet their poop is great for growing the grasses they eat. It’s probably also really good for tourists, who it seems to attract and that they also eat.
