A hippo charges a boat on the Chobe River in Botswana. (From this video.)
Hippo Facts:
Hippos can run up to 19 mph on land, and swim up to 5 mph. For reference, the fastest man alive has a maximum speed of ~28 mph and Olympic-level swimmers move at a maximum speed of 4.5 mph.
Hippos kill thousands of people every year. Like almost 3000 in Africa alone.
Hippos are very aggressive, and sometimes charge or attack for no apparent reason.
Hippos have been identified as a vulnerable species by the World Conservation Union, with an estimated population of only 125,000-150,000 in the wild.

Three Dorobo Hunters from Kenya Take Meat from 15 Hungry Lions.
Tumblr, meet the three bravest men in the world.
P.S. The leader is 65 years old. His name is Rakita (though I can't find the names of the other two hunters with him.) Here is a short post about this hunt, and the struggles of the Dorobo people to maintain their traditional way of life. The saddest line:
"And so in our lifetime, we will see an end to this ancient lifestyle of hunting, gathering and scavenging. An accumulative knowledge that has been passed down over 1000s of years."
(gif source video...but for the love of god, don't read the comments)
(ooh, better video. ignore the other one)
