With bullets made of platinum,

His hide is sure to flatten 'em.Hilaire Belloc

Rests on his belly in the mud;
Although he seems so firm to us
He is merely flesh and blood.Thomas Stearns (T. S.) Eliot

Descending from the bus:
He looked again, and found it was
A Hippopotamus:
'If this should stay to dine,' he said,
'There won't be much for us!'Charles (Lewis Carroll) Dodgson
