Speaking Of Kelly Osbourne, By The Way . . .



A terrified gamekeeper had a lucky escape after he managed to sprint to safety from a charging hippopotamus.

The dangerous beast chased the ranger for more than 300 feet before it stopped for a rest at the Murchison Falls National Park in Uganda.

Hippos keep a strict watch over their territory and threaten anyone who invade them. Their teeth are as sharp as razor blades and they kill more people every year than any other African animal. Which is ironic, given that they are vegetarians and feed exclusively on grass.

The aggressive animals weigh up to two tons and have been known to reach speeds of up to 30 mph on land.
