Hippo Hunting In Africa
The large hippo is an aggressive animal, old scars and fresh deep wounds are signs of daily fights.
Hippos have developed some ritualized postures, the huge open-mouthed "yawn" that reveals formidable teeth is one of the most aggressive. With long, razor-sharp incisors and tusk-like canines, the hippo is well-armed and dangerous.
Hippos are unpredictable, if they are encountered away from the safety of water, anything that gets between them and their refuge may be bitten or trampled.
Hippos account for more deaths to humans in Africa each year than any other animal. Because the hippo is so incredibly territorial, they will attack boats and people that come to the river for water and bathing.
