Summary
[edit]
| Description |
My friend Iain asked me why hippos are only dangerous at night and this was my reply. So good I thought I would share it with all those people who might be interested. The hippo is so dangerous at night because they leave the safety of the water to eat the nearby vegetation. They eat at and around the same spot every evening thereby creating great tracks for people to walk along on their way home. The people then disturb the feeding hippos who panic and blindly charge back to the river along those paths trampling everything in their way. Strangely it is mostly locals, a little the worse for wear, that die in this fashion. Some of these paths have been known to cross roads. |
