> Do you know if they have any interesting misconceptions about those animals they know about but have never seen

Another misconception kids seem to have is about the hippopotamus, which is always depicted as a cute animal, but which in fact is one of the most dangerous animals around.

Baby hippos are really cute. In most people’s minds they simply grow into a bigger version of that. Not the eventual psychopaths they are in reality.
