Hippo Chase

Talk about a lucky escape- a game keeper in Uganda was chased for 100m by an irate hippopotamus, only getting away when the creature stopped for a rest.

Hippos keep a strict watch over their territories and threaten anyone who invade them. Their teeth are as sharp as razor blades and they kill more people than any other African animal.

Despite the fact that they have been known to reach speeds of 30mph he was lucky enough to escape injury or even death, though it does seem to have been a very close call.
