        True, but I still want to see the poop numbers just to be sure.

    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.

      Oh. I now realise I completely missed the “4000 hippos” part, but it didn’t feel strange to me because I’m so used to reading about dinosaurs.

    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.

      Hippos are herbivores. They only kill tourists for fun.

        That’s ridiculous and was clearly shown to be false by my joke.

        Obviously, hippos evolved so their poop was irresistible to tourists. This is something my joke mentions to explain why hippos are always attacking tourists.

        You joke, but some animals are psychopaths. I remember a news years ago of a seal raping a penguin.

        It’s important for their mental enrichment.

    What a bunch of lazy assholes. They could just as easily walk up on land and poop there. Do they like to stew in their own feces?

      AFAIK they purposefully poop in the water to hide there. So yes, they “like” it.
