Yes, they can be quite aggressive if they feel they are threatened , and are well known to attack boats that get too close to them. More people die from hippo attacks in Africa than from any other animal, including Lions.

I think hippo's are dangerous. I think they are like bees and skunks because if you don't bother them or their children they won't bother you. But if you get to close to them, they may be afraid and try to nip at you or yell. This is what I think and I .

The hippo (in terms of human injury and death) is one of the MOST dangerous animals in Africa.

There's a word in the animal kingdom : territorial and hippo's take this very seriously. Especially when there's a hippo that's got teeth the size of Bowling pins ready to attack. They kill people. If that's not dangerous I don't know what is.
