Hippos are also deceptively docile looking creatures

If anything on this Earth should look like a Jurassic Park dinosaur it's hippos

Wouldn't that mean T-Rex actually looked cuddly and friend shaped?

Damn! I was hoping they were friend-shaped this whole time. The babies look kinda cute at least.

i think its them being deceptively fast on land they can outrun humans, consider they technically cant swim under water, they just are capable "running" in the water because thier bone density allows them to sink.

Well it's also that they're highly aggressive animals that will attack (and kill) pretty much anything that gets just a little too close for their comfort, despite looking cute and cuddly.

they are very fast on land for looking like a cumbersome blimp for weighing 3000-7000lbs.
