Hippopotami, despite their heavy weight, are not tall animals. In the wild, there are often well enought concealed by vegetation to remain unseen until one is within very close proximity of the creature. Hippos are highly territiorial and can outrun and out-distance all but the fastest of human athletes. In the event of a hippo attack, unless one is very close to sturdy shelter, the best hope for survival is to successfully kill the animal. This is for a research project and is an entirely academic exercise. Thanks in advance for your help.

Say nice things to the hippo. Tell him how good he looks, or if it's female, tell her how much weight she's lost. Tell the hippo that he is a good hippo and is probably very strong and should be the king of the forest instead of the lion. Then take the hippo out to dinner,
.
This way, you'll kill the hippo with kindness.

I like the advice given to you by those who suggested poison. So tell the hippo to stop chasing you for a moment and have a bite of your sandwich laced with strychnine

if you're stupid enough to get that close without a high caliber rifle, you deserve to die.
