A Tame Hippo in Lake Edward!

Category: Active Service, Hippos | Date: Feb 26 2007 | By: admin

This picture was just sent to me that I think is really great… the Hippo, a male, lives near Kasindi Port on the shores of Lake Edward. The Hippo is habituated to humans and likes playing with the fishermen on the boats. Apparently I am told he also likes having his neck scratched which you can see here.. A wonderful sight if you consider what they hippos have been through lately.

That is great! We must cherish the last remaining hippos after the slaughter they have recently endured. Please keep up the good work!
