Look, I'm trying to lose the COVID weight, okay? Insults are unnecessary!

Not even on the same continent. Hippos are in Africa and Tigers are in Asia. Pretty big desert in between

The Indian ocean isn't a desert

Are you sure? It's not like you can drink the water. And how much life is there really once you get away from the coastal shelf?

This is the correct answer. Why are they so violent?

They've been bullied and fat-shamed their whole lives and they've had enough.

Incel hippos are jealous of good looking tigers getting laid

[–] boydster@sh.itjust.works 35 points 19 hours ago

To make sure the tigers don't start getting any ideas

Herbivores have nothing to lose when hands need to be thrown.

[–] JoMiran@lemmy.ml 14 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

I just imagined a hippo with hands. Nightmare.

You're not imagining. They're real.

Depends where they are.

If they replace the ears? Goofy but harmless.

If they replace the tail? Run for your life, that's the equivalent of a full horde of monkeys on steroids.

I think Africa is a rough biospehere to live in so everything's gotta be super tough, the Amazon is like that too
