Quote by Karl Pilkington
I'd say the best is when I was in Africa, I saw a hippo in a house. Someone had a pet hippo. And they're meant to be one of the most dangerous animals on the planet, and they had one that was sort of just wandering in and out of their house, just sort of roaming about.
Summary
This quote presents a surprising and memorable experience where the speaker encountered a highly dangerous animal, a hippopotamus, living as a pet inside a house in Africa. The speaker's amazement arises from the fact that hippos are known for their aggressiveness and are considered one of the most dangerous animals. The image of a wild animal freely moving about within a domestic space challenges our traditional notions of safety and human-animal relationships. This anecdote highlights the unexpected and fascinating aspects of the natural world and suggests the potential for unconventional human-animal interactions.
