Wait, that's just 2.25 kg of dung per hippo. That sounds like way too little. I'm pretty sure a human being could produce 2.25 kg of dung in a day with the right team spirit and some elbow grease, but you're telling me these dainty, bashful cowards can't do better despite weighing so much more? Pathetic.

I just did the math and that's the equivalent to a little more that 3 and a half Chipotle burritos. I can't imagine trying to flush that down my toilet.

I imagine they also poop on land

A guy on Reddit didn't take a shit for a month and a half and it finally came out weighting 9lbs, I don't think you can do 5lbs on the regular...

Interesting, my grandma once described giving birth as like pooping a bowling ball. That guy might actually somewhat understand the experience.
