Hippos

Death by the Ton

Not That Mike The Other Mike23 Comments

Through the brackish emerald waters of the Weeki Wachee River, the hungry alligator glides unseen. Molded by eons of evolution into an invisible assassin, only her eyes peer through the carpet of algae on the river surface, giving little notice of her approach. Soon those eyes locate their prey: a succulent young fawn, oblivious to danger as it drinks near the water’s edge. Wasting no time, the cold-blooded predator swims silently toward the innocent creature, and with one violent lunge, her powerful jaws drag the clearly inferior beast to an agonizing death with thrashing and screaming and lots of blood and body parts flying everywhere! Ha-HAAA!ย CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP! Take THAT!!!

You really need to stop doing this, dear. (Twitter)
