Sharks, hippos, and humans.

Sharks, hippos, and humans.
Collectively, they kill over 500,000 people each year!

- Sharks kill ~5 people
- Hippos kill ~500 people
- Humans kill the remainder (~500,000 people)

Hippos kill 100x more people than sharks.
Humans kill 1,000x more than both combined.

Despite the stats, sharks are one of Hollywood's favorite monsters.
Meanwhile, hippos are depicted as friendly, childhood characters.

So... we're trusting the deadliest creature to tell us what to fear.
