Is a hippopotamus or a crocodile worse?

 

• Here's how close Steve Irwin would get to a crocodile in the wild:

• Yes, he's about six feet away, lying in the water, facing the business end. Okay, in some shots he gets closer, but I liked this one. In fact, there were times when he would come up and wrestle with them.
  
  Look at the smile on his face. Steve was crazy: that brute moves at 40 mph and weighs about three Steves, and could probably swallow him whole. And Steve was digging him up.
  
  Now, here's Steve Irwin with some wild hippos:

• This is the closest I've ever gotten. In a boat. 200 meters away. Visibly scared as hell. Steve fucking Irwin, scared. Seriously, go find the video. They're using some camera angles and clever photography to make it look closer, but in reality, he wasn't anywhere near those beasts and didn't even like being within a "medium" distance of them.
