Except hippos are known to eat meat...so they ARE omnivores.
62 1 ReplyNearly any plant eater is. The categorization is outdated and you shouldn't be mad.
34 0 ReplyYeah, hippos are pretty interesting because they're definitely not obligate omnivores but do eat some meat.
32 0 ReplyThat makes them more metal.

iirc a lot of animals we consider herbivorous are really opportunistic omnivores

If reincarnation is real and I have a choice, I will be chomping on tourists my next life.
16 0 ReplyHippos don’t give a fuck about your weirdass “hippo psychology”, Reb, and are just as quick to kill you as anything else that they’d choose to kill.
And I think that’s a beautiful thing.

2 0 ReplyThis reminds me of the old adage when it comes to bears, "If it's brown, lie down. If it's black, fight back. If it's white, goodnight."
People often expect grizzlies to be the scariest, but they tend to be mostly territorial so playing dead is the best option. Black bears will see people as opportunistic prey if they're hungry enough (most predators don't want to get in a fight with their prey). Polar bears are always looking for food so I'm guessing that they're hangry all the time.
