2/8/2006: Hippo versus antelope

Undertoad · 02-08-2006, 12:46 PM

Great set of shots, apparently from photographer Ulrich Brodde, were found at this LiveJournal site via the double-secret Cellar LiveJournal Image Retrieval System.

Awesome shots!

I'm guessing antelope, but I'm not sure what kind. The big hawg looks toothless, so maybe they have anticipated this clash of the titans/morons. No word on how it all turned out so I decided not to wait for Friday. Happy Wednesday.

I like how the antelope's expression never changes.

Except for that 3rd picture - hmm, where have I seen that expression before?

That might be a sable.

They can kill lions, I hear.

You don't think about hippos being aggressive. Rhinos, yes, they have that horn, but hippos? They're ugly cute, they have a funny-sounding name, and they wear tutus and dance in Disney Cartoons.

Here's the straight dope on that that.... pretty funny.

The danger of a hippo is that its teeth are razor sharp on the sides, and it's generally accepted that more people die of hippos in Africa than any other mammal.

Also, the son of a bitch can weigh three metric tonnes.

One minute too slow =(

Elspode · 02-08-2006, 01:57 PM

The last shot looks like the horned creature is about to ram one of the horns through the hippo's mouth and out the left nostril. Ouch.

Which one is the Christian?

The antelope looks like it's reading the back of a cereal box. Completely placid.

Carbonated_Brains · 02-08-2006, 02:07 PM

Based on the scars all over the hippo's side, I'd say this is a common event.

I h8 passive-agressive antelopes.

Nose piercing, the easy way.

There are lots of great/interesting shots at this site. I wish I could read whatever language it is in.

The site is in Russian. If there is anything in specific you would like to know, I can translate for you.

Thanks, vocalperk. Not at the moment but stick around, we run into Russian sites fairly often.
